ACER has been gaining an important position in the market for gaming monitors and their latest release does nothing but accelerate this process. The new Predator XB271HU is a 27-inch monitor with an IPS panel of a 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution (WQHD) and a response time fast enough to be IPS, barely 4 milliseconds. …
Since Windows 7, you can have multiple languages installed on your PC, provided you have the appropriate version, and change not only the keyboard layout, but even all the interface.
This simple trick will allow you to quickly switch from one language to another. It is important when you’re working, for example, with clients who speak other languages and you have to send them information or documents and you want to use the appropriate correctors at all times (which affect Microsoft programs, as others may require custom settings, such as the dictionaries of certain browsers).
It is also useful when you have keyboards from foreign layouts and you want to use them with different distributions at software level at specific times. You can add new languages to the system settings.
Every day we receive at the laboratory more charging device interfaces and / or communication USB type C ports. Some days ago we already made a guide to clarify some news regarding the USB interface. But today, looking for some adapters for this format, I have found clear evidence that anybody can have C-type connectors …
ASUS has brought all the artillery for the renewal of its 17-inch gaming notebooks with the new ROG G752VY and ROG G752VL/VT, something thinner and lighter.
Among the various graphics settings, you can find models with a GTX 965M, some with GTX 970M and also with the powerful GTX 980M. The processors are the latest high-performance models of the Intel Skylake family for laptops. However, ASUS has not opted for 4K screens this series and we still have to conform to a 17.3-inch IPS panel of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Apple has announced that all new iMacs will have a high-resolution Retina display, as the name “Retina” has always been quite ambiguous and it’s more a marketing concept that something concrete that denotes some special feature, we will talking about its resolution, which is true 4K (4,096 x 2,340 pixels) for the 21.5-inch iMac model and 5K for all 27-inch models.
We also found there the new Intel Core Skylake processors with expandable 8GB DDR3 memory, and the graphics AMD Radeon R9 M380, M390 and the M395X in the 27-inch models, while the 21.5-inch remains in the fifth generation. Now all iMac will have two Thunderbolt 2 ports (unfortunately no Thunderbolt 3) and WiFi 802.11ac.
The good: unsurpassed protection against malware. Its various phishing shields protect you from Internet fraud in virtually all situations. It is the fastest and at the same time, along with Norton Security, the one that consumes less computer resources. Its optimization tools are simple and extremely useful.
The bad: its interface can be improved. We miss some form of parental control, a boot disk or the available space for Internet backups.
Conclusion: Though the competition is becoming closer, as in the case of Kaspersky and Norton you could say that they’re almost close on its heels, Bitdefender still remains, this year, the best antivirus for Windows and Mac. It definitely needs to be more generous when it comes to including some additional tools, such as those mentioned above.
This protection software of Romanian origin, made big brands such as Norton or Kaspersky to get down from their high horse, and it’s becoming quite a habit for it to lead the lists of best antivirus for PC and Mac this year. We will explain you the reasons one by one.
Certainly nowadays there are a lot of routers on the market which offer higher wireless speeds than the Netgear R6400-100NAS AC1750 with its 450 Mbit/s in the 2.4 GHz the field of instrumentation and its 1300 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz range and most of them even have an eSATA port. However, these routers are also significantly more expensive than the Netgear R6400-100NAS AC1750.
And if we are honest, the vast majority of users won’t need an eSATA port and even the 450 Mbit/s in the 2.4 GHz range are more than enough for streaming movies lag-free in HD quality on one device while one plays a network game on another device. And then there are still the 1300 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz range, that can be used simultaneously in parallel with the 450 Mbit in the 2.4 GHz range. To be able to use the full capacity of the Netgear R6400-100NAS AC1750 in the WLAN area, most DSL lines in private households are undersized.
This monitor is great! For me it meets all the important criteria that are important for me in a monitor at the moment:
Before I had the only other monitor that currently met these criteria, the Acer XB270H Abprz, but it had a relatively poor black level and even for a TN panel a narrow viewing angle. Because I couldn’t get used to the poor black level I got the Philips 272G5DYEB/00. When compared noticed that the black level was much better and had no blue tinge, as is the case with the Acer and that the viewing angles and brightness distribution was better. Otherwise, they were at a fairly similar, high level in all other respects (sharpness, brightness, contrast) (for TN panels), the color reproduction was perhaps a tick better on the Acer but nothing decisive. Overall, my choice was clear and the Acer was sold again.
The Asus PG278Q definitely is the best monitor that you can get for your money as a gamer.
The facto this has 4 reasons:
-> The resolution 2560×1440 provides 70% more than FHD and is appropriate for the 27”size. But it isn’t as ridicules as 4K resolution that cannot be used for gaming with the current graphics card generation, even in SLI.
-> 120/144HZ. Not only during longer gaming sessions, but also in the daily PC work (Coding, Office, …) the image with 120/144HZ acts subjectively quieter and more pleasant than with 60HZ. Anyone who has savored the added value can’t go back.
Routers are those devices that the ISP technician installs at your home to settle your ADSL or fiber line that you would never concern yourself with, at least if it is a small house, because if it’s a big house or a villa, the chances of having problems with the Wi-Fi are much higher.
That’s why for these situations it’s better to use better routers such as the NETGEAR Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Smart WiFi.
