Laptop for the work of the University

Hello

I'm on the purchase of a new laptop. So far, my favorites are the following two:

(I hope this link works)

I have a few questions on my mind:
How much better / faster is the processor of Gen 6th to the 5th generation?
If I googled them (and check ark.intel.com) data may not be very good. but it's just numbers. What about performance? What's much faster? or I'm better with 8 GB of additional RAM?

I use it almost exclusively to the University - which means that I sometimes dozens of PDF and MS Word files open at the same time. If I understand it the RAM is more important when it comes to 'multitasking '?

Sometimes, I also play games. But I'm no high-end gaming on my laptop. but I've done before on my desk. That's why I'm used to a fast computer / laptop. I want my laptop to be quick (which is my only real is not more...)

Thanks for your comments!

BTW I wonder also if it might make sense to buy a laptop with Windows 10 directly rather then buy one with 8.1 and Windows 10 upgrade Windows? the upgrade already slow or if it makes no difference?

Hi LorinBardric,

The 6th generation will be the most recent version and maybe a little better than 5th. Usually there will be not much difference. You'll be better off with more ram. 8 gig will be fine. RAM is important for virtually everything you do on a computer.

You better buy with Windows 10, so all programs are already in place and everything works together as it should. If you have Windows 8.1 and upgrade, you get all the Dell updates for the hardware and software.

This should be good for the play of light, just keep in mind this isn't a designated game machine. Alienware line are the big gaming machines.

Looks like you have chosen a good laptop for school and general use.

  • For a laptop for the loading of images from LR on travel - is 1366 x 768 screen enough and the size of the HARD drive?

    I have big PCs and giant screens for the home edition, but for travel I am looking for a laptop for image loading on the road and the base LR sorting and marking of displacement.

    2 questions for your experiences, the regulars of the forum, in my opinion:

    1 1 TB HDD with an external 1 TB HARD drive as backup - rather than 256 or 512 GB SSD IB (reasons of $$$ and also to load all my images on a trip)

    2. 14-inch screen 1366 x 768 or similar instead of full HD ($$$ reasons and because I tell myself that I can zoom in to check the focus on this screen very well)

    Your comments and your experiences?

    Oz

    Sorry for not giving you enough information

    Cameras include a D800. Last long trip saw about 600 GB of images that I kept on a laptop for about 100 GB of capacity, then on a portable HARD drive (with an another portable HARD drive for backup). I have not run LR on a laptop connected to hard drives external and thought that it would be better all around having large drive onboard

    Computer laptop features include an i7, with a graphics card to support enough treatment LR for the process of cataloguing "on the trip.

  • Best practices for the universal iOS app? SWF or SWC?

    Hello

    I'm trying to draw a box for my property which helps keep memory low load at run time for an application universal iOS and ran across the following article about the swc files.

    http://www.flashrealtime.com/compiling-big-air-SWF-to-iOS/

    However, it is not clear how this method would be beneficial from a point of view of memory. The files don't always loaded in execution?

    Or should I look at the swf files with code deleted and marked from the main swf in the ipa? (sounds like more work!)

    Please help educate a noob!

    Thank you!

    Some files may get loaded during execution even if you use swcs (video, xml, etc.), but the content that has traditionally been loaded as a swf should be compiled in your main swf.  This is not because it is more efficient, it's just to get around restrictive TOS of Apple memory.  So rather than load a module.swf in your application, you instantiate class of the module.swf document the same way you instancierait any other class, and instead of unloading it when you want to free the memory that you need on a null all references to that object (and all the objects that it created) cannot be reclaimed by garbage collection.

  • Can we use this product key on the back of the laptop for the activation and the windows 7 Professional 32-bit to windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade?

    I have a laptop HP originally shipped with windows 7 32-bit professional. Now I want to upgrade to windows 7 professional 64 bit. I don't have with me installation disk. So I thought that it is possible (and legal) to resume an installation of windows 7 professional 64 bit disc from a friend and use this product key on the back of my laptop computer to activate windows after the installation of 64-bit? I'm a bit confused.

    NOTE: This sticker on the laptop has windows 7 pro oa, and a product key to 25 digits (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) written on it.

    In addition, the product ID in the information system in the control panel is OEM.

    Yes, you can use the product key located on the COA sticker with a full retail version or the version upgrade Windows 7 Professional disc.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:
    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Update the display drivers for the game half-life 2

    Hey,.

    the other day I tried to update my drivers for my gfx card on the Toshiba site (given that the ATI Web site download does not support Toshiba laptops) if I could play half-life 2. Whenever I play Half Life 2, my phone freezes within minutes. This happens only when I play Half Life 2, I can play games such as Far Cry and Medieval 2 Total War perfectly.

    I have a Satellite A-100 237 with an ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600 256 MB. After that I finished installing the new drivers and restarted my laptop charged again but the contrast of the screen looked all messed up and the resolution is extremely low. So I restarted the computer laptop again and this time she refused to load Windows normally, just before he would charge up to the screen where I enter my password, a blue flash screen and the system should restart again.

    I could start my system through Mode only without failure. I tried to do a system restore, but that did not work. In the end, I used the recovery CD and had to erase everything from my laptop. At the moment I am afraid to try again because I need my laptop for the University.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem and solved?
    Please any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I can only say that graphics cards for laptops are not the same thing as same GPUS for desktop PC. From my own experience, many games have problems with different graphics drivers for laptops.
    I m also a player, but I would not buy laptops if I want to play the most recent, tough performance. Ok. I have a laptop for my mobility of its use and en office to play the game.

    @macram: you can try the drivers omega but don t know if it helps.
    Unfortunately, but I don t see any other possibility.

  • Satellite L650-111 - where is the support for the page?

    Hello

    I bought this computer a month ago and I thought that I could check the support page for this laptop for the new updates. I clicked on the link to Toshiba Tempro (support for my PC or something like that) and to opening my browser there was an error saying that my product have not been found. So I typed my serial code in and also tried the automatic recognition of the system, which came with the same error.
    Even on this list 'find your laptop manually' I saw not only my role model, but the entire series (L650) wasn't there. Is this in any way related to the problem that I recently ("Toshiba Service Station has stopped working")?

    Please also explain what to do in this case. I tried to uninstall manually and re-setup of the station but the problem persists.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    You should check this page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Then choose the following options:
    Laptop > Satellite > Satellite L Series > Satellite L650 > PSK1JE

    On this page you can find all the updates for it. :)

    Otherwise I agree with Quad: never touch a running system! ;)
