Our choices of devices are many, in terms of size, clarity, speed, features, suitability to purpose and more. Over the many years we had been in employment as well as on our own we have been fortunate to try many brands and terminals (as they are collectively known) in their many stages of development and popularity. Our choices had been in most times been windows devices for large devices and found android to be more adaptable to our needs. This does not mean that the Windows and Apple along with other branded devices do not hold their appeal.<\/p>\n

So as much as the years since our opening we had adopted as Asus as our primary choice big portables (laptops). HTC, Acer, Huawei, Hyundai, LG, Lenovo, Samsung Iphone and many more brands based on either windows or Android had been suitable including IOS for our smaller lighter go to devices.<\/p>\n

Desktops have always been the favoured custom builts. Mostly on our high end custom build desktops we based them on a cooler master chasis with a few favorites on power supplies, gigabytes or asus motherboards, intel or amd processors, many brands, specifications of memory, harddisks and other peripherals.<\/p>\n

Over these last few weeks we decided to change our long serving Asus Laptops from 2008 and add on another device for OS (Operating System) diversity support. So what did we get?<\/p>\n

Our First Renewal,\u00a0we continued with an Asus for one change over we went with an ASUS K501-DM006H. Its a generation I5 which happens to have quad core processor rather than the option of I7 Generation 5 which happen to have a dual core processor in the A555LJ-Multi Colour Option. The hard disk offered on both happened to be 1TB standard hard disk (Non SSD), video cards we decent Nvdia cards not the highest that is available to be offered but not the lowest, 4GB ram, battery difference was one cell between both the models (4 cell and 3 cell) the K501 having the lower of the two, screen, dimension and weight was not much difference. What led us to make the choice wasnt so much the price but the specification and availability in stock. As we normally go with the purchase when needed rather than keep in stock method which generally keeps the period from manufacture down to one month from manufacture. (matters as it reduces the improper storage causing quicker component deterioration.)<\/p>\n

So with that put aside, the start up and access was a good improvement from our older notebooks (which was mainly due to hardware aging hence slowing down). Its start up was pretty decent. The video and audio a good improvement. Shows you what a couple of years of screen technology supported with good graphics card can do. But most of all from the entertainment side of things the actual work use for the notebook such as the crunching of numbers on excel and the brochure creation had a significant gain that brought pleasure to the work being done on this machine. Overall great choice. Since our purchase similar specification and models have seen some price increase due to many factors but none solidly documented other that new month, updated models price has some change to put it simply. But we are sure it is more complicated than that.<\/p>\n

Our second renewal of hardware we use was a little tricky. It was for our tech side of our business. Profiling the user is challenging. It needed to have the processing power of machine that could do data recovery, movie rendering with editing, graphics editing for pictures, good long work time for network tuning with installation and configuration capabilities but could be used in a gaming environment. Worst requirement was that it needed to remain portable. Now normally it would be better to go with a custom desktop where upgrades are easily available but due to the nature of requiring a machine that could be easily portable yet remain powerful left it down to being a gaming notebook.<\/p>\n

So we got to exploring the brands we sell now we started exploring the Asus and the Illegear brands. Now the Asus had a few very nice choices which even \u00a0included aesthetics too.They came in the likes of the ROG (Republic Of Gaming) series laptops. the model in question that we finally had settled on was the GG751JT-T7050H. It wasnt the highest end model they had to offer but a good medium high solution. It had generation 4 I7, 17.3″ screen, 8GB DDR3 Ram, An SSD and a 1TB Sata Hard disk for the storage (now the SSD would give quite a speed in start up and hopefully access speed too.), A video card not to sneeze at a Nvdia GTX 970MX with 3GBDDR5 Video RAM, 8 cell battery for longer life and all the rest of peripherals that have become normal to have on a notebook especially on a medium to high range.<\/p>\n
