GAMING PC VS CONSOLE WHICH IS BETTER? - ADATECH

 A gaming PC refers to a real gaming PC not your regular laptop.

Below are the reason why you might consider getting a gaming PC

Mods and patches: This is one of the biggest reasons to consider a gaming PC. It’s a lot easier to customize and modify your game (or gameplay) with mods and patches. This can’t be said for consoles.

Cracks: This may sound crazy, but a great number of PC gamers download cracked games illegally from several sites online. That expensive PS4 game could be waiting to be downloaded through torrent. Although piracy hurts developers, getting paid games for free is still one of the biggest reasons some people have to stick with PC gaming.

Scalability: With a gaming PC, how much you’re willing to spend determines how powerful your rig is. So far you’re not using a laptop, you can increase your RAM or change your video card if there’s a need to. With consoles, this is impossible.

Backward compatibility: Most, if not all, of the oldest game titles released for PC years ago still run fine on Windows 10. Take PS4 for instance, your PS3 discs are useless on it.

These Android Apps You Love Are Killing Your Smartphone

Smartphones get slower with use and this is caused by installed apps. While these apps may be useful and hard to do away with, the negative effects they have on our devices can make one consider removing them. For instance, Facebook is one app almost everyone has but it’s one of the most power-hungry Android apps ever.

AVG, an anti-virus maker, recently released a list of apps you should probably consider uninstalling from your device. It’s a huge list containing most of our favorite apps and games.

Top 10 performance draining apps run at startup

These apps automatically start running the moment you boot your device and as expected, Facebook tops the list here followed by Google Play Service. Blackberry Messenger and Instagram too make the list. It’s interesting seeing four Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Pages Manager and Instagram) on this list. Are you willing to do away with these apps to boost your device performance? I doubt that.

These apps too are performance killers but unlike the ones listed above, they do not run automatically. They will never be initiated unless you run the apps and they do not run in the background.

Top 10 battery drainers run at startup

If you have these apps installed, they may be draining your battery even if you don’t use them all the time. They automatically start running the moment you boot your device. Again, your favorites apps (Facebook, Messenger, BBM and WhatsApp) make the list.

Top 10 data traffic hogs run at startup

These are the top apps that contribute the most to your monthly internet bill. If you realize you’re exhausting your allocated data bundle before expiry almost every time, these apps may be responsible.

These apps too contribute heavily to your data usage but unlike the ones above that automatically start running when you turn on your device, these apps are usually started by the user.

This list highlights some apps we already suspect but then, you shouldn’t go ahead uninstalling these apps because AVG says they’re bad for your phone. Some of the listed apps are actually system applications which your device depends on to properly function.

It’s also worth mentioning that your phone might be equivalent to nothing but a piece of brick without some of these e apps. Who wants to uninstall
WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and BBM anyway?

iPhone 7 To Have 256GB Storage & A Larger Battery

As the release of the iPhone 7 draws nearer, the rumors are gradually coming in. We saw an alleged video of the device that showed no bezel but this was quickly discarded as fake even though it appeared to be shot in a Foxconn plant. Another report came in claiming the iPhone 7 could be water proof and self-healing. Of course, this sounded a lot more believable since it was based on a patent Apple filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Also, the next iteration of the iPhone may totally do away with the 3.55mm jack and this sounds rather sensible as well.

Now, according to a Taiwanese website MyDrivers, it has been said that the upcoming iPhone 7 is going to have a 256GB storage. This doubles what is available on the present version of the iPhone considered the most expensive. However, it should be noted that this news is coming from a leakster with a mixed records of several leaks on Apple Products.

Even if this is actually true, we’re not really wowed. Asus Zenfone 2 has a deluxe version launched in Brazil late last year with 256GB storage.
