What to look for when buying a Picture and Video Editing Laptop?

27th January 2021
"Wanna know what's best? Read on!"

A high-quality image includes many fine details, and a considerable amount of computing power is needed to view these details properly.

The laptop or CPU inside your laptop is what does the processing, so you need a quicker CPU to provide better processing. Although the other components are important, since it can perform most of the tasks involved with photo processing, the processor inside your laptop holds the greatest significance.

A built-in graphics card, which is built into the CPU or motherboard, comes with many new notebooks.

Processors

Many of the latest laptops have an i5 or i7 CPU, and these are two of the better processor models available. It's very popular for customers to presume that all i7 processors are inherently faster than i5 processors after looking at the base clock speed, and the fact is that many i5 processors provide higher performance than the i7 counterparts. The chip designs used in modern computer processors are still evolving, so it is possible that an i5 processor produced one year ago would provide better processing than an i7 chip produced four years ago.

Many individuals do not know that on a laptop there is a trick to having the best deal. The laptop that has the newest Chip can still be purchased, but the CPU will only be slightly faster than a CPU that costs half the price.

Choosing a laptop that doesn't have the latest CPU on the market is almost always safer, so it will save you a lot of money. The i5 and i7 CPUs are very common, and photo editing can get plenty of power, but you can still get a laptop with an AMD processor or older Intel CPU. The output of an older computer might not be as smooth as possible, but it should be adequate to achieve your goals for photo editing.

Storage Capacity and RAM

You can take beautiful digital images with the newest cameras, and some of the best cameras are integrated into the latest smartphones. You may have found that the files are very big and need a lot of space on your hard drive if you've ever unloaded your smartphone photographs on your computer.

8GB of Ram should be enough for most photo editing purposes, and ample memory to carry massive editing tasks is plenty. If you're going to do a lot of Photoshop editing, though, then you might want to consider upgrading to 16 GB of RAM.

The amount of cash expected to update a laptop above 16 GB of RAM is often not worth the quality gain you will get from the ram.

Resolution and The Size of the Screen

You're stuck with the built-in panel when it comes to picking a computer for your laptop. The computer is built-in to the display that a laptop uses, and although this can be very handy, it also makes it virtually difficult to select your own screen.

You'll find many different screen sizes to weigh when shopping for the right laptop for picture editing. The screen size has a big effect on your laptop's total size, whether you know it or not. Getting a bigger screen is always good, but you might have to lose some of the comforts that come with having a smaller screen. The screen size of 12 to 15 inches is cherished by most laptop users. Resolution is very critical when it comes to selecting a computer, for it helps you to edit the finest aspects of your images. Your laptop screen generates the color that decides how much adjustment you can do with each frame.

Budget 

You should know your budget while searching for the right laptop for picture editing. If you see photo editing as a technical occupation, then in the mid to high-end range, you'll need a laptop. In order to save money to get the cheapest price, the best models are mid-range computers.

Since they choose to stop having to pay money on potential improvements, often customers want to spend a significant amount of money now.

Many of the best laptops for photo editing remain in the low to mid-range ranges for hobbyists. You can still start with a cheaper model and spend some money on updating the parts later on.

Mac vs. PC

Nearly all modern computers come in the form of a Mac or Laptop, and most professionals choose a Mac to a PC when it comes to photo editing.

Apple is well-known for launching exemplary software applications for its operating systems, and the organization invests a lot of money in display technology growth. Many Apple products, in other words, are known for providing a vivid, colorful light.

The patented Retina brand is used on Mac machines, which offers photographers a much closer look at their images. You should almost always predict easier photo editing by going for a Mac. Windows PCs tend to deliver more than a Mac if you're looking for raw computing results.

Which Gadget is Best Suitable for Online Education? Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop?

27th August 2020
"Smartphone, tablet or laptop ? Which one will you prefer for online learning?"

As the world is affected by the novel Coronavirus Pandemic, the teaching-learning process has shifted to online or digital approach. From elementary-level to university-level, all the classes are being conducted online throughout the world. Consequently, parents are concerned about the gadgets that could help their kids in digital learning.

People, generally, use a Smartphone, tablet or laptop for online education. Considering different factors like availability, health aspects, budget, screen, class-time, etc. the suitability of a gadget for online education differs from person to person and their age-group. 

Here, we present you the device or gadget that could be efficient and suitable for you or your kids.

Smartphone 

The gadget possessed by a lot of people i.e. Smartphone is handy, portable and easy to use. It is best suitable for short classes with possibly less or no slide shows or whiteboards because the screen is too small to read the content and can strain your eyes. Being handy, children can easily use it and surf the net for homework as well. The battery part may also be another disadvantage if you have longer classes. And, I personally feel that it’s difficult to do and submit homework and assignments in a Smartphone. But, if you have a limited budget, go with smartphones because something is better than nothing.

Tablet

Tablet, with a relatively large screen, is the best device for children. It won't strain the eyes as one can easily read the contents in a slide show or whiteboards. As it is easy to use, the children can join the classes on-their-own and can also surf the internet for their homework conveniently. There are several budget-friendly tablets as well which don’t lack much in functions and features. The battery aspect differs with the brand but will not cause many problems. Tablets are suitable for higher class students with a limited budget as well.

Laptop

Laptop, in my opinion, is the best gadget for online education. From attending classes to completing assignments and projects easily, it is the best device for students (from mid-school and above) and teachers. Varieties of functions, larger screen size and longer battery life are the major advantages of using a laptop for online education. However, the budget aspect can be a disadvantage as most of the good laptops are above $400 or Nrs. 40,000.

which-gadget-is-best-for-online-education

Online education, superficially, seems to be a great substitute for traditional education approach and also a step closer towards a digital world. But, it has its own consequences as well; Increase in screen-time leads to an increase in health risk as well. So, it’s better if you try to reduce the screen-time as much as possible.

"Gaming laptops offer an immersive entertainment experience in a compact bundle, thanks to their strong graphics, beautiful displays and fantastic audio."

No replacements are accepted when it's time to save, build the universe. Gaming laptops offer an immersive entertainment experience in a compact bundle, thanks to their strong graphics, beautiful displays, and fantastic audio. Stylish designs, desktop-quality keyboards, and the ability to use high-end VR headsets are also supported by many. A s a serious work station, a decent gaming laptop may even pull dual-duty.

However for devoted gamers with mobile environments or want to save even more space than a desktop might, gaming laptops are great above all.

 Acer Nitro 5

acer-nitro-5

The Acer Nitro 5 has once again managed to beat a product for the best budget gaming laptop with a similar spot. The i5-9300H and the GTX 1650 are, like the TUFFX505, a very good combo, particularly considering the cost. You're going to have to pay considerably more if you want any more than that. A combo of 128 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD, this one also comes with a marginally stronger storage option. Likewise, like many laptops, it ships with a plastic construction with this price tag. With that said, it is more comprehensive and well-built than the others.

Acer Nitro 5 Specifications

  • Display: 15.6″ IPS (1920 x 1080)
  • CPU: 9th Generation Intel Core i5-9300H
  • GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 (4GB GDDR5)
  • RAM: 8GB DDR4
  • Storage: 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD
  • Battery: 4-cell
  • Weight : 2.48kg
  • Dimensions: 15.4 x 10.5 x 1.1 inch

MSI GF63

MSI-GF63

Going on, we've got the GF63 MSI. It is a light laptop for gaming that weighs only about 1.85Kg. This is a trend now with gaming laptops! Don't let its size fool you, nevertheless, as it is packed with a strong Intel Core i7-9750 9th Gen processor. And as to the graphics, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q comes with it.

Asus ROG Zephyrus Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-GA502DU

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti, which is a much nicer GPU than the GTX 1650 and the 1660Ti MaxQ version, is supported by the Acer Predator Helios 300.

However, it only provides a 256 GB SSD, although there is a larger 512 GB SSD storage for the ROG & Dell G3. But this is a trade-off that, given the GPU you get, is probably just about correct.

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-9300H

HP Omen 2020

HP-Omen-2019

 It comes with two GPU configuration settings, as with the Legion. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti, i7-9750H processor and 256 GB SSD are cheaper. The interface is elegant. However, HP has not gone off the rails with it, but it still gives out the gaming vibe, which is really cool.   It contains 102 percent of the color gamut of sRGB.

Lenovo Legion Y540

Lenovo-Legion-Y540

As with the MSI GS65, in terms of GPU configuration with the Lenovo Legion Y540, you get two choices. The cheaper one will get you the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti while you will be able to fully enjoy the RTX 2060 with raytracing and everything with the more costly one. Nevertheless, both of the models use the same Intel i7 processor 9th Gen. And his RTX 2060 model is much cheap than that of the MSI GS65. In addition, a 512 GB SSD plus a 1 TB HDD comes with the higher end one.

What are graphics cards in laptop?

3rd January 2021
"Make it smooth!"

A Graphics Card is a piece of hardware for the computer that creates the image you see on a screen. The Graphics Card is

responsible for rendering an image to your computer, which is achieved by translating data into a signal that can be interpreted by your monitor. The better the graphics card, the better, and it is possible to create a clearer image. For gamers and video editors, this is clearly really relevant.

graphics-card

Types of Graphic cards

  • Integrated - Built-in graphics on a motherboard where no add-in card is included. These are a cost-effective model, but cannot be quickly upgraded, installed into most 'normal' laptops and computers.

  • Discrete - An add-in graphics card that is installed onto the motherboard as an extra component.  Ideal for those wanting to modify their system by upgrading the graphics cards. Laptops have integrated a graphic card which means that discrete graphic cards can’t be used in a laptop.

Expansion Slots

If it was a pc then you can expand your graphic card but you can’t expand your graphics card on your laptop. Since the laptop contains Integrated graphics cards the expansion is really difficult. The user usually buys the laptop with the best graphics card built-in, in order to have the best fps while gaming or video rendering.

 

Gaming and Editing

Not only are graphics cards useful for gaming, but standalone graphics cards will also support users of the picture and video editing software greatly, as they can increase the speed at which photographs can be created and help users of high-def displays.

 

Manufacturers

There are two main manufacturers of discrete graphics cards, AMD and Nvidia -  Some users have allegiances to a particular brand but each will do the same job. AMD also produce some integrated graphics option as well as the current market leader- Intel. But intel graphics cards are the worst once. They cannot do any gaming or editing. Highly recommend buying a laptop with a graphics card of AMD or Nvidia since they give really high fps while gaming and fast rendering while video editing. AMD and Nvidia are two rival brands trying to make the best graphics card.

 

Ram configuration

Current graphics cards also contain RAM memory, which is a dedicated graphics ram, but it is separate from the RAM on your PC. The size of most modern graphics cards varies from 512 MB to 8 GB, with DDR3 and GDDR5 SDRAM being the most common formats.

For players, a minimum of 1GB of memory is recommended, although this has to be matched with other features of the card and the resolution at which a game is played.

 

Output Support

Since in laptop the graphics cards are already implemented in the motherboard there is no need for output support. But you are a computer enthusiast you can also input graphics cards through output options.

  • VGA (Video Graphics Array) - 15pin analog connection also known as D-Sub- This is the earliest video connector and so is the least efficient. VGA ports work well enough but other ports provide a better video quality.
  • HDMI HDMI is one of the more popular connections due to its speed and versatility. HDMI will carry both video and audio signals.
