Best Gaming Laptop – Alienware M17x

21 Dec

The time has now come for us to play Half-Life2 and Crysis the way it is intended to play. Yes, you are hearing it right. You don’t need a PlayStation to experience the stunning dexterity of our favourite graphical pals and the baddies. There are certain defining features that are solidly wholly original to gaming laptops that set them aside from other portable offshoots. The decision to get the best gaming portable should encompass these needs to get that adrenalin rush these games promise us.

the most vital factor that comes into action with gaming performance is the discrete graphics card. We need dedicated memory to cater to the blitzkrieg action in the games which is achievable only with a good discrete graphics card like ATI or Nvidia. Dell’s latest Alienware M17x is power packed with Nvidia GeForce SLI card that delivers the true worth of each frame of the game to us. Although AvaDirect Clevo M980NU isn’t far behind, Alienware M17x scores a slam-dunk in performance and speed.

Wireless Internet

24 Nov

Wireless Internet access, sometimes referred to as a “hot spot,” is a local area network (LAN) run by radio waves rather than wires. Access is broadcast from the central hub which is a hard-wired device that actually brings in the Internet connection. The hub, located at the main computer system or server, broadcasts Internet connectivity to clients, which is basically anyone within “hearing” range who is equipped with a wireless LAN card.

In the home, a desktop system setup for internet access will broadcast connectivity throughout the immediate area. Any family member with a laptop or desktop in another room can connect wirelessly to the Internet to share the main connection. Neighbours may also be able to access your wireless connection, which is why most wireless LANs are configured with password security. In this case, any machine that wishes to get wireless internet access must first complete a “handshake” with the LAN, in which the password is requested. If the proper password is not supplied, access is denied. While initial security technologies were weak, security protocols for wireless internet access have vastly improved with Wi Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) options.

Have You Heard Sony Vaio X Series?

19 Oct

As befitting a netbook that costs much, the VAIO X’s 11.1-inch screen has a higher than usual resolution of 1366 x 768; we’ve only seen this standard on the Gigabyte Touchnote T1028X. This is becoming a more common option, however, such as on the HP Mini 110. While this resolution tends to make icons too small on 10-inch netbooks, we didn’t mind it as much on an 11-inch screen. When watching content streamed over the Web or played off the VAIO X’s hard drive, we were impressed with the crispness and wide viewing angles of the display; we could turn it nearly 90 degrees to either side without seeing image reversal or egregious reflections. Being as thin as it is, we’re not surprised at the lack of audio quality in the VAIO X. Songs were thin and tinny; the bass line in Aerosmith’s “Dream On” streamed over Pandora was nonexistent, and the speakers could barely fill a small office with sound.

No-one can argue about the VAIO X-Series’ design credentials. At 12.2mm, it’s precisely as thick as an iPhone, and its matte-black finish is reminiscent of a sheet of graphite (the only design oddity is its brown bottom). Even the screen drew admiring gasps: it’s wafer-thin, measuring 4.4mm when we clamped our calipers around it.
The main chassis is similarly slight. It’s so skinny the D-SUB port on the right-hand side looks oversized. There isn’t even room for a conventional network port, but rather than force people to lug around an adapter, Sony has cleverly created a hinged port: when you want to use it, the idea is to raise two tiny feet and this gives the hinge room to expand enough for you to slot in your cable.
