ASUS is preparing to launch its new laptop model Zenbook UX410, noted for its narrow bezels, updating its hardware to Intel Kaby Lake processors and -we expect- a price more restrained than the big premium ultrabooks. Zenbook UX410 offers a 14 inches display but its 6mm bezels allow it to keep a total size equivalent …
Surely more than once you thought about a way to download a full website to navigate through it without being connected to the Internet. Surely something very useful when you expect to be offline for some time, like when you go on a trip somewhere without signal, or when you go through a path with an unreliable data coverage or unstable WiFi connection and you would like to browse a particular site as if you were online.
It is true that modern browsers can download the different pages of the same site in HTML format for viewing offline, but it limits the power to navigate to other options, menus or content, since the links are lost and keep on pointing to the online version. This way you only download the page on which you clicked Save as Webpage.
NVIDIA published a job listing looking for an engineer to “help produce the next revolutionary Apple products”, and of course this made us assume that either both companies are in talks to use the new NVIDIA graphics cards in the next generation of Apple laptops, or they already have an agreement to do so.
In the past, Apple used to offer its computers with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, but for several product generations the people in Cupertino limited their options to either use an Intel integrated graphics or a dedicated AMD, leaving NVIDIA out of the equation. This appears to have changed, or at least it may be assumed since otherwise it would be absurd for NVIDIA to publish such job listing.
With the arrival of the Xbox One S and the announcement of the PS4 Pro, the market has gotten fairly complicated and a lot users are confused. If you are thinking about buying one but have questions don’t worry, this article will answer a very direct and clear question, which console should I buy?
Before we begin, we must understand that there isn’t a universal answer, in other words, there isn’t a console that is completely superior to another one and that we can say is the best choice, instead, this will depend on different factors which we will explore in this article.
Without further a due we will dive into it, but as always I invite you to leave any questions or comments in the comment section, I will do my best to answer all of them.
In this section we will closely evaluate some points that need to be made clear right away. The first one is that Sony as well as Microsoft have clearly stated that these new consoles won’t affect the life cycle of the original ones, so you can forget life cycle as something to consider when choosing one or the other.
Like we mentioned a few days ago, AMD has released the RX480, the graphics card with the best price/performance ratio to date, and there were a lot of you who asked us about what the perfect combination of components would be. Ok then, we’ll try to shed some light on this.
One of the biggest concerns is if this new line of GPUs from AMD are as CPU dependent as previous graphics cards from the red giant, well, we are sorry to inform you that this is still the case.
What does this mean? That a CPU will be used more if we use an AMD graphics card than one from NVidia, which will cause it to reach its limit earlier with an AMD, which will give us less frames per second. Now, this shouldn’t worry us if we have an Intel CPU newer than the sandy bridge models or an FX83xx or superior, but if you have an FX6300 or something less powerful, your graphics could be limited.
Some of the most recent wireless routers and WiFi modem-routers are dualband, that is they let you set up two wireless independent networks that work on completely different frequency spectrums. The two WiFi networks, 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz, can generally work at the same time, so much so that each one have a different SSID with which it appears on mobile nearby devices.
Acronym for Service Set Identifier, the SSID is the name with which a WiFi network appears to its users. By doing a scan through a software like inSSIDer or even air-cracking, you’ll get the list of the SSIDs corresponding to the wireless networks available nearby, along with their features. By default, many routers use the name and the model of the device itself as SSID: it’s highly suggested to change it, even if it’s actually superfluous to block its spread across the ether (broadcasting) because the SSID of an hidden network could be found in a pretty simple way.
But what’s the difference between WiFi 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz?
The introduction of the 5 GHz band solves, firstly, the problem about the crowded wifi networks. In densely populous areas, apartment buildings, in areas with large presence of offices and commercial activities is actually something common, to find lots of WiFi networks, especially if you consider both the ones that reveal their SSID and the ones that hide it.
This impressive SSD from Samsung makes use of its 3D V-NAND MLC type memories with 3 bits per cell along with Samsung’s Epic controller and a PCIe 3.0 x8 port that lets it to achieve sequential read speeds of an astonishing 6,400 MB/s and a writing speed of 3,000 MB/s. Its random access speeds are …
After the disappointing and a bit incomprehensible launch of the GL553VW laptop, the company has now announced the launch of Asus ROG Strix GL702VM,a launch that makes way more sense and abandons the obsolete GeForce GTX 960M for a GeForce GTX 1060 equipped with 6GB of GDDR5 memory resulting in a remarkable difference in performance, …
Ultrabooks are one of the most attractive categories of personal computers and next to the 2-in-1 laptops and gaming dedicated computers, they are the ones pushing a market that’s been going downward in recent years. Ultrabooks stand out for their focus on mobility, with thin and light designs; some in convertible formats; use of premium chassis materials such as aluminum, magnesium or carbon fiber; great battery life; HD displays with sizes between 12 and 14 inches; SSDs for storage and sufficient processing and graphics card power. Today we dedicate our article to the most interesting models for sale and -thanks to the presentations at IFA 2016- others that will arrive starting this month. Attractive but not cheap, they require a minimum investment that stands at the barrier of 1,000 dollars and upward. (The numerical position is random and does not respond to any selection criteria)
Labeled as the “world’s thinnest laptop” with a thickness of 10.4 mm, it uses an 13.3” ISP borderless display and it weighs 1.1 kilograms with a hybrid two piece battery for 10 hours of battery life. It uses Intel Skylake processors and it includes a hyperbaric cooling system by Intel. It features three USB Type-C connectors with Thunderbolt support, ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2, Displayport 1.2 output and HDMI 1.4, Bang & Olufsen stereo speakers with HP’s Audio Boost technology.
The launch of the Radeon RX 480 has been disastrous: the reference model overclocks very mildly and its cooling system is no good,custom models can’t also overclock much,and of course,these custom models,the most anticipated, are not even for sale yet, but if something can still save the name of AMD is the Radeon RX 480 …
