Dell Pink Laptop


A pink laptop is like a fashion accessory nowadays for many people. You can probably guess they are hugely popular with women and girls, but increasingly pink laptops are being bought by men as pink is perfect!

All the top manufacturers make pink notebooks, but perhaps the most well known is Dell. Everyone has a preference when it comes to technology, but the fact remains that Dell is possibly the largest manufacturer of laptop computers in the world. The quality of computer specifications available and aesthetics is unrivaled, and that's why big D are arguably the best.

Dell offer a fantastic range of pink laptops for pretty much all users- whether you're a university student looking to write essays and look great in the library, a hardcore gamer who doesn't want to skimp on the style, or a professional who wants to look good designing websites, running marketing campaigns or checking the servers!

The smallest offering by Dell is the Inspiron Mini 10 which is more of a netbook. Available in pink it has a 10.1" screen and up to 9.5 hours of battery life. The base model is £249 and features the new Intel Atom processor, it really is a pocket rocket that will keep you plugged in when on the go.

The entry level laptop is the Inspiron 15 which features a 15.6" screen and is ideal for performing basic multimedia tasks such as office applications, listening to music and even watching DVDs. The base model (£339) features an Intel Celeron processor, however an extra £40 will get you an Intel dual core. Complete with Windows 7 the Inspiron is certainly the king of the entry levels. The Inspiron is also available with a 17.3" screen- this model is called, unsurprisingly, the Inspiron 17.

Moving up a gear, Dell offer the Studio range which are available in 15.6" (Studio 15) and 17.3" (Studio 17) HD screens. The Studios are packed full of performance parts and come in pink of course. Whether you're writing an essay, playing a DVD or playing a game, the Studio will keep going and not let you down. The functionality is truly mind boggling, with features such as a DVD-RW, enough USB ports for a small army and even an HDMI connector. Under the hood is the new Intel I series processor range- Intel i3, i5 and i7 which are like mini nuclear reactors! The base model Studio 15 is £499, while the Studio 17 comes in at a respectable £579. Stylish and powerful are all you need to remember.

Hardcore gamers will appreciate the Alienware or Dell XPS range of laptops. Some limited edition models come in pink, but overall these babies will eat any game for breakfast. If you're more concerned about FPS than looks, these should be your first ports of call.

Plainly then, Dell offer a great range of laptops for all types of users so you're sure to find something to fit your needs. If you're not concerned with any of the specs, just remember they come in pink!

What Is the Single Most Important Feature in a Gaming Laptop?


A lot of laptops are being marketed and sold as gaming laptops today without having the actual capability to play the latest titles at acceptable frame rates, and even less so at your display's native resolution (which is always preferable) While you can be fairly sure that gaming-oriented brands like Asus Republic of Gamers and Alienware are up to the task, others can be considerably more difficult to pinpoint. This is a problem because a lot of prospective laptop buyers are looking at models that are somewhat less expensive than the high-end gamer brands, but still want enough performance to play games.

The Processor is a Secondary Factor for Gaming

If a sales representative tells you that you need the latest and most expensive quad-core Intel Core i7 processor to play games on your laptop, you are probably better off shopping somewhere else. Although the CPU is the "heart" of the system and has a major effect on the overall performance of your notebook, it is actually a secondary factor when you play games. It is the graphics card that performs a vast majority of the heavy lifting in 3D gaming.

The only question is whether the CPU is so slow as to be a performance bottleneck for the graphics card. The short answer is that all modern processors - save for a few low-end, low-voltage or netbook variants - are fast enough to keep up with the graphics card. And if the laptop is equipped with a decent GPU, you can be fairly certain that the processor is not an issue.

Steer Clear of Integrated Graphics

So let's take a step back and answer the original question more thoroughly. The graphics card - also known as the GPU - is what really counts when it comes to gaming. The biggest GPU manufacturer is Intel, but they produce only so-called integrated graphics solutions (integrated on the same chip as the processor or on the motherboard). These GPUs - or IGPs as they are called in this case - are not capable of anything but older or less demanding 3D games. At best, you might be able to play World of Warcraft using the latest Intel IGP, with the details turned down a few notches.

Nvidia or AMD? It's Complicated

The two main competitors in gaming graphics are AMD (previously ATI) and Nvidia. Both manufacturers produce excellent graphics cards, but the difference between their entry-level and high-end offerings is huge. To make matters more complicated, both Nvidia and AMD frequently update their model names - sometimes after only minimal changes in the actual chips.

For example, the previous-generation Nvidia GeForce GT 445M is more powerful than the current-generation GT 550M. Both have a similar architecture, but the former has 144 shaders ("GPU processors"), while the latter has only 96. Moreover, the GT 445M has a larger memory bus. The exact same problem applies to AMD's GPUs, only with different model names.

This is obviously quite confusing to the average consumer, who does not generally keep track of changes in graphics processor architecture. To make matters even more convoluted, the performance of the graphics card is also affected by the manufacturer's choice of video memory. At the moment, two different types are frequently used: DDR3 and the faster GDDR5. In other words, two identically named graphics cards may perform differently depending on their memory modules.

What to Do

For obvious reasons, the average laptop buyer cannot keep track of all these factors and neither should they have to. If the laptop has been on the market for a while it has likely been reviewed by one or more websites. Look for gaming tests of the laptop you are looking to purchase and make sure that the frame rate (FPS) is at least 30 in your favorite games.

If the laptop is brand new you may have to do some alternative homework. Look for the name and model number of the laptop's graphics card and search for it online. It may have been tested in other, similar laptops. Otherwise you can visit the GPU manufacturer's homepage, look up the specifications for the card and compare it to others with similar specifications.

Laptop For Games - How to Find Best Gaming Laptops


Who are gamers ?

There are many pc gamers looking for gaming laptops. College students use it to enjoy favorite pc games. Super gamers try to find extremely powerful gaming machines to maxout high details in the latest games. Some other people just want to find a gaming laptop to handle some specific games under their budgets. Different people have the different budgets and requirements for a gaming laptop.

What are gaming laptops ?

A gaming laptop's performance is better than other laptops in playing pc games. Gaming laptops have better CPU, memory, GPU combination so usually costs more money.

How to find the best gaming laptops ?

Hardware technologies grow rapidly, it's impossible to follow all the latest updates in technologies, even for a IT guru. Some people can get references from friends who know laptops well, but most people have to figure out all by themselves. Forum post, Google and review articles are great sources to find out what laptops are good for gaming.

In fact, finding a gaming laptop is very easy. If you follow the steps I'm sure you can find a good gaming laptop to fit your need, no matter you have the any knowledge about laptop before or not.

1. Budget for the gaming laptop

The price for gaming laptops varies from less than $1,000 to $4,000 or even more in different brands. So the first thing is to find out what is the affordable price for a gaming laptop. Now the minimum price for a gaming laptop is around $650. Some laptops are more expensive than others such as MAC. Generally, the more money you spend, the better performance(or service provided) a gaming laptop will have. Let's say you have a budget of $1,400 for gaming laptop, so you can set the price range for $650 - $1,400.

2. What games you want to play with ?

It is a second important issue for buying a gaming laptop. There are 2D and 3D games. 2D games(like Starcraft, RedAlert2 ...) just needs a fast CPU and some memories to run smoothly and most laptop today will do the job. 3D games(WOW,Crysis,COD ...) require a powerful graphic card (GPU) to handle the complicated real-time calculations in the 3D games. Different graphic cards have different performances in playing different 3D games. There are two major GPU Giants there: Nvidia and ATI. Both of them have a serial models of graphic cards for different gaming requirements. If you are going to maxout all details in the latest FPS games such as Crysis, you have to get a top-level graphic card. If you feel that playing general games smoothly, and playing the latest games in low-medium effects are acceptable, there are also a bunch of medium-level graphic cards available for you to choose. Basically, the more powerful a GPU(graphic processing unit)is, the more money you will spend. By identifying your requirements you will save money. Not everyone need a super gaming machine. Don't use missiles if you just want to catch a bird.

3. Specific requirements

Everyone has his/her favorite brand. Some people like Intel CPUs while others prefer AMD. Some like Nvidia GPU while others like ATI. Some like small screen size while others prefer big screen. There are also some other choices such as size of hard drive, systems pre-installed, memory, optical drive, sound card, colors and weight. But remember that gaming capacity is your first priority. Any of your choices will be fine as long as you follow the step 1 and step 2.

4. when and where to buy

Of course you can buy a laptop anytime you like. Sometimes you save money if you choose to buy in a promotion period with some good coupons. There are also some people there will say: "I would like to wait for the price to drop down..." However, every penny you spend is worth for its value. If you have a good budget and don't want to wait too long, why not enjoying the cutting-edge technologies in latest gaming while other people are still in waiting ? There is no end answer for question "which laptop is the best for gaming?" If it is good for you, then go for it.

There are two types of laptop sellers: manufacturers(Dell,HP...) and resellers.

(Best Buy, Newegg, Circuit City, Staples...). You can buy laptops from them online or in store. Usually manufacturers provide more customization choices and resellers provide the products in 'what you see is what you get'. If you want to customize laptop with your choices, just buy it from manufacturers directly. If you are not familiar with laptop and don't know what laptop to choose, just tell agents from resellers what you want to do with the laptop and usually they will give some useful suggestions for you. Before any purchasing, you should have some basic ideas of what laptop you need. It will be greatly helpful if you do a little research on Internet by visiting laptop review sites.

Actually, finding a gaming laptop is a interesting process rather than a tough job. It is not as hard as we thought before. Every gamer can get the best gaming laptop for playing great games
