Case Logic Griffith Park Backpack Video Review

Whether you’re heading out to the neighborhood coffee shop to get a little work done or you’re traveling halfway around the world, it’s important to have the right backpack to hold all of your precious gear. The MEGATechNews team is here in Taipei, Taiwan for Computex 2014 and the bag that I’m using on this trip is the Case Logic Griffith Park Backpack.

It’s geared toward gadget geeks like me who need the space for all of your electronics, but we don’t want a backpack that screams out we are carrying around a bunch of technology.

Dell Precision M4800 Review

The Dell Precision M4800 is a powerhouse. Claimed by Dell to be the world's most powerful 15-inch mobile workstation, it packs enough hardware to allow for desktop-like performance. Although Dell has recently launched a mobile workstation that comes in a thin chassis, the Dell Precision M3800, the Dell Precision M4800 is more in keeping with the traditional appearance of the Precision line. It doesn't try to be thin or light but instead has a solid, tank-like chassis that's 40 mm thick and weighs 2.9 KG. You could squeeze two or three entire Ultrabooks into the same space.The Dell Precision M4800 is coated in Dell's signature gunmetal dark grey case. It's a look that screams professional use more than fun and games - whip out the thick-and-heavy M4800 on a train, complete with its array of flashing status lights and expansion ports, instead of a small device like a tablet, and your fellow commuters will undoubtedly imagine you're very serious about computing.No corners have been cut to reduce the Dell Precision M4800's physical size. A total of 11 status LEDs flicker on and off. There's a built-in optical drive, smart card reader, SD card reader, four USB 3 ports, with a further E-Sata/USB 2 port at the rear. There's also DisplayPort and HDMI rounded off by Gigabit ethernet as well. Dell has sensibly retained the analogue D-Sub connector, since the majority of displays and projectors in office environments still use this video standard.Dell avoids the isolated-style keyboard, using a more traditional keyboard style.

The last workshop we published on overclocking graphics cards is from 2007, quite some time ago so time to update as the latest generation of graphics cards require a different approach than five years ago.

There are numerous reasons why you would want to up the clockspeeds of your graphics card, and we can go as far as to say that for many hardware enthousuiast it is even a bit of a hobby to get the highest ranking on our site or on Hwbot.org. Next to be able to show off your abilities overclocking graphics cards can be usefull, especially if you just miss a few framerates or can not use the highest settings in your favourite game. This workshop will show you a step by step guide to getting that extra perfromance out of your equipment, for both AMD and nVidia chips. Modern graphics cards have all sorts of safety measures in place to prevent you from damaging your card, providing you use the standard overclocking tools.
