AMD renews its APUs with the A10-7870K processor

AMD is showing signs of life after a long season in which they didn’t present anything new of significance. Since they still haven’t released the new R9 390 Series graphics cards (and not the refurbished ones presented as the 200 Series), the new APU A10-7870K is a breeze of fresh air. This is actually an update of A10-7850K, with some slight improvements, but it’s still the Kaveri architecture with Steamroller cores.

When it comes to the processor, the cores work from 3.9 GHz to 4.1 GHz turbo speeds. The GPU now has a speed of 866 MHz (an improvement over 720 MHz), it supports DirectX 12 and keeps the rest of the features (512 processing units, 32 texture units and 8 rendering units). It may be a noticeable speed improvement over the A10-7850K, since its costs is now from $137.

Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 with Intel i5 5200u CPU Specs and User Reviews

The newly released Toshiba satellite C55-C5240 is not quite different to its predecessors. In terms of its casing, look, and overall design, the C55-C5240 is similar to all Toshiba satellite laptop series. The keyboard measures around 14 inches, has the same Toshiba signature keyboard style, and has a number pad at the left. The only noticeable difference is its finishing textured plastic casing in matte black that adds to its natural sophistication feel and vibe.

A housed frameless style was integrated in the keyboards. The new design lessens key bouncing and minimizes typing noise. A number pad is also included to help professionals have quicker and easier access to numbers.

Screen

When it comes to the screen display, the Toshiba satellite C55-C5240 is a beast. The 15.6 high definition widescreen gives its user an elegant gaming and browsing experience. The notebook promises stunning, crystal clear viewing experience with its 5500 Intel HD graphics.

Best Blu-ray player 2015

The new Full HD TVs have a very superior image quality than we are used to enjoy in previous tube TVs or plasma: they have better definition, better technology, better digital image quality…

Therefore it is important that you consider that if you have a new HDTV, DVD can’t offer you sufficient quality when enjoying movies. It’s time to change and make that final leap to Blu-ray.

Blu-ray format vs. DVD

If you do not know the benefits that the new Blu-ray offers compared to DVD, you should know that the gap is abysmal from one to the other. DVDs have a limited storage capacity of 4.7 GB on a single layer disc and 8.5GB on dual-layer discs, and the data transfer rate of a DVD (the speed at which you can read ) is limited to barely 11.1 Mb / s.

How to run Windows 10 from a USB flash drive

This actually could also be applied too to Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 but it’s certainly more interesting and more challenging to do it with Windows 10. The process requires a USB flash drive with at least 8GB, though I wouldn’t mount it if we are going to use it for real in less than 16GB, as this must always be done in USB 3.0 USB flash drive with acceptable speeds.

The first thing you need is an already functional Windows 10, as the “bcdboot” command that we will use in one of the last steps required needs to be Windows 10 version of to generate the dunk images for the Windows 10 boot. You can virtualize it or use any of the piece methods that we have tried here in this section. You must also have an ISO installation of Windows 10. You can find it in the Windows 10 Insider program.
