Know your Hardware

What you need to know about the hardware of a Laptop

As with any computer, the hardware on a laptop determines what it is proficient of doing. Better hardware will naturally be more expensive, so it is important to consider what you are going to use the laptop for and accordingly choose the hardware suitable for that purpose.

A laptop that is only being used for common purposes such as browsing the Internet or writing documents probably doesn’t need a high-end configuration.

#1. CPU/Processor
As with any computer, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) carries out all the processes for the laptop. Any time the computer needs to access or change data, the CPU executes that task. Better CPUs will be able to process more data at quicker speeds.

The latest offerings from Intel are its Core i3, i5, and i7 series in 7th-generation models (with model numbers starting at 7000). New processors are generally faster and more proficient, though it might take a few months for laptop manufacturers to include them in retail models.

#2. Graphics and Sounds
A video card generates the images that a program needs to display on the screen. With most laptops, the video card will come integrated into the motherboard. For most users, the video card is not something to worry about in particular. The most significant uses for a video card are gaming and modeling, in which figures — often three dimensional — need to be rendered.

NVIDIA and AMD are the primary vendors for discrete mobile graphics. NVIDIA’s latest series is the 10-series, the GTX 1080, 1070, and 1060. These will be the most expensive, most powerful gaming and business-class laptops, thus some recent models may be using the slightly older 900 series. The R9 and R7 chips are the latest designs: the Radeon R9 M485X is the most powerful, with cheaper, slower models offered at lower price points down to the R7 M270X.

#3. Memory
RAM, often referred to as memory, refers to the computer’s ability to store and access information for immediate use. Any task currently being done on a computer is using RAM. Essentially, the more RAM a computer has the more information it can call up at any given time, and thus more processes it can do at any time.

#4. Storage
The amount of storage space on a hard drive is how much data it can hold in total. Programs, videos, music: all of these are stored on the hard drive. In contrast to memory, data in storage does not necessarily need to be in use. A program that is installed on the computer but not currently running would take up storage space but not memory.

These days, many laptops use SSD which are faster and sturdier than traditional hard drives. SSD offers a dramatic performance boost over a conventional hard drive. If you have some opportunity in your budget for an upgrade, pick an SDD first, then RAM then focuses on other components like a faster processor or a high-resolution screen.

Your Laptop, Your Pocket

Picking the correct laptop can be a daunting task. When you buy a laptop, it is important to keep in mind the purpose you will be using your laptop for, whether you intend to lug it from place to place or simply use it as a device to snuggle up with in bed.

List of Different Types of Laptops

#1) Entry Level
Customers who require a laptop for the most fundamental purposes and want to save money may find that a budget laptop is all they need. Budget laptops generally have a low configuration such as processor, graphics or RAM and do not hope to run heavy games or jump easily between a hundred browser tabs. In a nutshell, entry-level laptops are good for people who may not know a lot about computers and just want a device that can carry out day to day tasks.

#2) Chrome book
Chromebook laptops are best suited for web-based tasks performed on light hardware – a Celeron-based Chromebook with half the RAM. A similar Windows laptop can perform quite well in comparison since Chrome OS is free and open-source and the hardware requirements are lower than Windows. On the other hand, Windows laptops, often come with pre-installed “bloatware” that can slow down a system and annoy the owner, Chromebooks are relatively clean.

Each Chromebook has software that’s basically identical to the rest (except for a few hardware features like touchscreen support), and Google sends regular updates to all Chrome OS devices directly from its servers so they stay up to date. Chrome OS has its drawbacks as well. Because it’s a web-focused platform, almost every major app is either a browser extension or a web tool. Some, like Google’s Docs, can run locally, but most require an active internet connection

#3) Thin-and-light
This section of laptops offers a premium option dedicated on mobility, usually with a 13-inch screen. Typically what splits a thin-and-light from a budget laptop is material quality and a few premium components. These machines are thinner and lighter. They’ll have a more stylish look than budget laptops as well. Even low-priced thin-and-lights might come with upgrades like an SSD, a touchscreen, or a backlit keyboard, but none of them are big enough to include a disc drive.

#4)Business Laptop
The professional laptops often flaunt extraordinary hardware to run the professional software, regardless of altering video footage or basically have a phone call. Many jobs require traveling and moving around, it’s also important that a business laptop exhibit long battery life as well as a sturdy frame that can survive constant traveling.

Professional laptops typically use a 14 or 15-inch screen, though some can be smaller or larger. Dell’s Latitude series and the Lenovo ThinkPad line are often preferred by corporations (and especially IT departments) for durable builds and excellent keyboard

The Wireless Charger Myth

When wireless charging was first announced in Apple phones back in 2017, people were buzzing. Apple wasn’t the first company to build Qi wireless charging into smartphones, but as one of the most popular smartphone companies in the world, they received a lot of attention about it. Fast forward to today. It’s 2021 and while the hype has sizzled, wireless charging is now available in more smartphones now than ever before.

According to Powermat, the self-described largest wireless charging network in the world, more than ninety smartphones on the market today have wireless charging capabilities.

Wireless charging is here and it’s definitely here to stay. We are seeing more and more devices in the market with embedded wireless charging, and more on the way to be launched soon. Analysts say that it’s only a matter of time until we see charging ports disappear from all mobile phones. Removing the port will allow better water-proofing of the device, more flexibility in form factor designs and can improve overall look and finish.

Wireless charging is also referred to as Qi charging or Qi technology. The Qi standard was introduced in 2008, so the technology is relatively new. Qi uses both resonant and inductive charging, of which the latter requires devices to be close to each other in order to work.

Advantages of wireless charging
Less cords. This one’s a no brainer. With wireless technology, you don’t need to carry around your USB-c charger wherever you go. You just need one cable that is connected to the charging mat.
Universal compatibility. Qi charging is the universal standard, so if you have multiple different wireless capable devices, you can use the same charging pad without any issue.
Safer connections. Since the charging is all occurring inside an enclosed environment and without cords, there’s no corrosion because there is no exposure to water or oxygen. This also means that there is less risk of electrical faults.
More durable. Without having to regularly plug or unplug, there’s also no wear and tear on the smartphone sockets. If you alternate between charging wirelessly and with cables, this also means less wear and tear on your cables.
No overheating. When your smartphone is fully charged, the wireless charger automatically shuts off. This means less energy, a safer charge, and no overheated battery.

Infinix Note 8 and Note 8i go official

As expected, two new Infinix smartphones became official earlier today – the Note 8 and Note 8i. They are both powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset.

The Note 8 has a 6.95″ 720×1640 LCD touchscreen with a dual hole-punch cutout for a 16 MP selfie camera and a depth sensor next to it. On the rear there’s a 64 MP main shooter, aided by a 2 MP macro cam, a 2 MP depth sensor, and another 2 MP “AI Lens” which feels like it’s there just to fill the space. All of this is topped off with a quad-LED flash.

The phone has 6GB of RAM an 128GB of expandable storage, as well as a 5,200 mAh battery that charges at 18W. It runs Android 10 and will be available in gray, blue, and green.

The Infinix Note 8i, on the other hand, has a slightly smaller 6.78-inch LCD screen with the same resolution, and it loses the secondary selfie cam (while the primary is downgraded to 8 MP), and swaps out the 64 MP main rear sensor for a 48 MP unit. Otherwise, everything else seems to be identical between the two, down to the color versions.
