Every laptop in this has either a MUX Switch or Advanced Optimus, both are basically the same thing. increasing gaming performance up to 20%.  About This Table These tables are 4 list of gaming laptops with a MUX Switch based on what people (reddit) , trusted review sites (notebookcheck) and manufacturers (Lenovo, ASUS, MSI, Acer) have published. It’s updated at least twice a month   Unlike other lists, this list ALSO has information ON: GPU’s TGP (Wattage):  Because it is an equally, if not a bigger, factor for gaming performance. The higher the TGP also known as TDP or wattage ..read more

“A MUX Switch creates a direction connection to the dedicated GPU increasing performance by about 15% as shown in lower left side in the image.” That’s pretty much all you need to know. If you really want to understand how it does so, then keep on reading. 1. What is a MUX SWITCH? To understand what a MUX Switch is, you must understand the problem with most gaming laptops: As you probably know, there are two types of graphics cards installed on a laptop: the integrated (iGPU) and the dedicated (dGPU). Because the dedicated GPU is several times more powerful it draws on more power (this me ..read more

Don’t worry about it, in this post, we’ll sort it all out! First…. Let me state a fact: GPU’s wattage is the single most important determinant factor behind the gaming performance. All things being equal a laptop with a higher GPU wattage will vastly outperform one with lower GPU wattage. So What is GPU’s wattage? GPU wattage is basically how much power (electrical power as in watts, W) a GPU runs at. The higher ..read more

You’re here because you found out dual-channel RAM can improve gaming, video editing and even 3D modeling performance.  Now.. You may have seen or read that it does not seem to help with gaming. That’s bollocks. If you do the upgrade correctly,  you should get up to ~40 fps on games like Dota 2 (less GPU demanding games). And about 5-10fps on  games like Fornite (very GPU demanding). Anyways… The point is yes It will improve performance especially on tasks that make good use of CPU power like video editing & photo editing. I will not get into more of the science, I’ll leav ..read more

Upgrading or replacing RAM is the easiest thing when it comes to tinkering with laptops. In fact it’s probably the easiest thing to do when it comes to fix/update any type of electronic device. Now here’s the deal: If your laptop has a door for RAM, it becomes even easier: You would just have to unscrew the compartment , nicely place a RAM stick and voila. It’s done done! Get back to gaming….I mean studying! Unfortunately… Most laptops do not have that compartment especially if they’re modern! Chances are your laptop will look more or less like this: There will no small compartment for RAM ..read more

Upgrading storage is just as easy as upgrading RAM. Yup, you just need to slide your new storage drive right in just like you insert a USB drive into an USB port.   Depending on what kind of laptop you have, there are two ways to go about this. The first method is the easiest one! a) M.2 SSD Upgrade: It’s called M.2 because the SSD you see in the picture below has a M.2 form factor thus it fits into the M.2 slot. b) 2.5 ” SATA Upgrade: Like wise, it is called SATA upgrade because the 2.5” SSD Drive you see below it’s connected to the SATA port ( green ) below. What’s the difference ..read more

When I started becoming interested in computers I had no idea what all the specifications like RAM, #Cores, vRAM,  HDD, SSD meant.  The only thing I knew back then was that more gigabytes meant storage and fast CPUs meant fast computers. This is a short guide or a quick crash course if you’re in that position. Don’t worry… We won’t get into specifics we have other posts for that. We’ll just go over the basics and break it down so you’re a little more informed before shopping for computers.   1. Processor (CPU) CPUs or processors are in charge of “running” applications. The ..read more

The best laptop for Sims 4 should prevent the game from crashing by outputing STABLE FRAMERATES (+60 fps) throughout every aspect of the game, be it when you build something, interact with players or when you drive a vehicle.  If not… The game might crash after you’ve spend several hours trying to build something. Now… You don’t need to spend much for this. A laptop with “1650GTX” graphics card will do. That should not only output stable & high framerates but also let you add all the expansion packs, mods and custom content you want. Of course… That’s assuming you want high ..read more
