Buying and choosing a laptop?High performance laptop(gaming laptop)


Buying and choosing a laptop? A gaming laptop is a computer that maximises performance and is a good choice.

Choosing a laptop  requires a great amount of effort. It reminds me of my unique laptops that lost  their lives(were stolen or just died out) in campus. One had heating issues. It was those HP dv series. The screen used to go blank as a daily habit resulting in high cost.

The hardware is the most determining factor. It is the physical layer abstraction that provides the needed speed to run  multiple softwares concurrently.
In this article, I will give a review of the features to look for in a high performance laptop.

Hardware

The hardware should be the best per forming hardware.
It should also have an appropriate cooling system.
The processor speed measured in  GHZ should be the highest possible.

Speed
It should not only be in terms of the processor speed but also the graphics card. The graphics card should provide the best graphical display.

Graphics and processors are thus the most important. I would choose the best performing hardware which is similar to making a choice between Toyota and Mercedes.

Processor
Intel Core I7-6700K is the best currently.

1. It is a four core that clocks at 4.0 GHz stock frequency that easily boosts up to 4.2 GHz. The “K” represents an unlockable core that means that the processor is capable of overclocking.
2. The processor comes with an 8 MB cache and carries full support for both DDR4 and DDR3L.
3.  It draws  more power when compared to the Haswell Refresh 4790K. The TDP for the processor is 91w.
Compare this to the core 2 processor or core i3.There is a big difference.

Graphics
Nvidia GeForce GTX 970

1. Uses the GM204 chip, but with reduced shaders.The graphics card is equipped with 4 GB GDDR5 (7GHz effective).
2. 3.5 GB of the 4 GB are connected with 224 bit, the rest only with a 32bit interface. This can lead to some stuttering or reduced frame rates in games that use the full 4GB.
3. Cool, quiet and power efficient. This is what I recommend as GPUs  often suffer from overheating.
4GB full speed VRAM

Try a laptop with such features.

Amazing lego air-powered car

Air powered cars have once been my idea when I worked on a balloon powered car project.I presented it on science congress contest upto the District level.It was not a welcoming idea since my concept was not well developed.It only featured a ballon for propulsion. The lego air powered car invention is definitely a breakthrough for a group funded project.It is said to be built with 500,000 legos except for the tyres.The inventor claims that he was neither a technology nor a lego enthusiast!!! Click image to purchase acer chromebook.                                The group was funded by 40 donors through a twitter request.It is said to have costed more money than the initial budget.The automobile has been test driven and runs upto a maximum speed of 18mph/40kmh. Engine consists of pistons to compress air which maybe, provided the desirable kinetic energy(energy in motion).This energy propels the car forward.Ho...

Characteristics that make a good online IT entrepreneur

An online IT business is definitely an envy to many to many entrepreneurs.  It is easy to setup and costs less. Many people often succeed in this venture. However, a person needs to have important attributes and traits during the initial years of the business. These include: Diligence An online entrepreneur should be hardworking and ensure that the business is running on a daily basis. Just as other entrepreneurs who open their physical shop everyday and are always present to ensure it runs efficiently, an online entrepreneur should do likewise. The website has to be updated frequently to ensure that customers keep coming to see what new event has been displayed. Patience Patience is an important virtue. It transcends all other traits. Without patience, you won't be able to keep the business running. Most businesses often start slowly and require lots of patience before making profits. Sometimes the rewards can be  disappointing but you should know that a business is a risk an...

Bike or car? Project 2 and 4

I was thinking about bike cars and a documentary about them from dw tv which highlighted the revolutionary bike cars. They are aimed at reducing emissions and single transit of an individual to shorter distances. I was surprised to come around the news about bike cars. In particular a racing Ferrari-like car that is both bike and a car. The Project 2&4 concept. It is also the winner of  Honda design competition involving engineers and designers from both motorcycle and automotive studios. The concept is powered by a 999cc v4 engine. It has an rpm of 14000 ( revolution per minute: a measure of the frequency of rotation which is the number of rotations around a fixed axis per minute  and is a measurement of rotational speed of a mechanical component) which when calculated with torque(how strong an automobile is) calculates to around 211bph (break horsepower :how fast work can be done using the power).The clutch is a 6 speed dual transmission.
