Currently, the popularity of laptopsincreases with each passing day. Their convenience is difficult to overestimate, after all, choosing not a personal computer, but its mobile colleague, it is possible to solve several potential problems at once:
- no special workplace is required;
- A certain amount of money is saved to purchase a full-sized computer table;
- There are no problems with moving around the room. When rearranging furniture, you do not need to "rack your brains", wherever to put the computer desk and the computer itself;
- You can take it with you on any trip. For those who earn through the global network, this is the most significant reason.
However, life now and then prompts that neitherone area can not be a universal answer. So in this case: the most powerful laptop and a productive computer are completely different things. Whatever the adherents of laptops claim, it is on full-fledged personal computers that enthusiasts manage to achieve extremely high test results. Yes there! Even the famous triple-slice mode with several video cards has not even been seen for laptops yet (external solutions do not allow to realize all the possibilities).
Despite this, often buyers want to choosethe most powerful laptop. Consultants in computer equipment stores are well aware that not everyone needs an electronic typewriter (budget models are not able to fully exploit the capabilities of modern applications). Usually the most powerful laptop is purchased in order to run on it resource-intensive game programs. It is these programs that create a heavy load on the computing units. What is it, a powerful gaming laptop?
First of all, you need to prepare for the fact that the selected game model will have to give over $ 1500 (for example - the budget series starts at $ 300).
In addition, although in it, as in the classicalclass representative, contains a rechargeable battery, but due to the high consumption of internal components, it is not necessary to expect autonomous continuous operation. However, depending on what is considered a small time: many powerful models under load from the battery are free to work up to 2 hours.
The heart of any computer is the centralCPU. In the most powerful laptop now install quad-core Intel i7 with a frequency of over 2 GHz, and with the use of Turbo Boost technology, which is additionally increasing by almost 30%, AMD offers a productive A10 processor in the camp.
The next component is RAM. Given its relatively low cost, manufacturers are installing DDR3 at least 8 GB with the ability to expand to 32 GB, which is now more than enough for any application.
Any self-respecting gaming laptop is easymust be equipped with a screen with a diagonal of at least 17 inches, which allows you to display the resolution of Full HD. Although this does not directly affect the performance, nevertheless, play modern games on a small matrix - similar to how to put the F1 wheel on the car from the "Zaporozhets".
The rule of good taste, which should be followedthe most powerful laptop of 2012, is the envisaged ability to connect a second hard drive and even organize RAID. When using classical hard disks based on magnetic disks, the spindle rotation speed is the same for them as in the versions for personal computers - 7200 rpm. If the manufacturer decides to install a solid-state version of the disks (SSD), then the overall performance from this only wins.
The speed of the video card dependsperformance gaming. Therefore, in notebooks of this class it is always discrete. For example, at the time of writing, the best were the GTX-680M SLI from NVidia and the Radeon HD 7970M Crossfire from a competitor in the face of AMD.
As far as the top models are concerned, all of them are equipped with USB 3.0 ports.
No doubt, modern gaming laptopsclosely approached the level of performance to full-fledged personal computers. The only thing that holds back their mass distribution is still too high a price for the majority.
