Don’t get the Wrong Laptop! Read this

Buying a laptop and confused? Are you looking for a student laptop or a business laptop? Do you need it for gaming or business, or both? Should you spend money on a graphics card? What about a SSD?

The innumerable number of times people complain about having brought a laptop which is not right for them, but still having to make do with it for a few years, prompted me to write down this to help anyone from ever making a wrong laptop purchase. Inspired by my fair share of bad decisions while buying laptops and not wishing that headache for anyone else, here is a three step approach to finalizing the best machine for you.

Asus-ZenBook-Flip-UX360CA-laptop

YOUR NEED

– Clearly identifying your needs from the machine, is the first and foremost stop on your way to buying the best laptop for you.

– It helps you decide which features are important for you and which features you can do without. A powerful laptop will cost more, but that cost can be reduced by, for example, not getting a graphics card if you have no designing/gaming needs.

Fingerprint sensor? See if your budget allows it, otherwise a strong trusty password will protect your data just the same.

– 2 in 1 laptops are amazing, but they cost a lot more and offer nothing more than flexibility. So if flexibility is your need, go for them!

– Windows/Linux/MacOs. Which OS fits my needs you ask? Good question. Simple Answer.

Your familiarity with an Operating system and its ability to run the programs you will be using. Windows being the most popular, hence you are bound to find all important softwares on it. Linux has lesser programs, but is more customizable and more importantly, free!

MATCHING YOUR NEEDS WITH PRODUCT SPECS

– Once you have identified your needs, it’s just a case of matching them with the specifications of the laptops.

– Work outside, away from charging points? You need a big battery.

– Need super fast bootup time? A SSD drive is your friend (expensive friend though)

– Tend to drop your laptop frequently? Buy a durable laptop and/or look into damage protection options.

– A 4gb ram is good enough for basic needs. 8gb if you want a faster machine. Anything above that is for designing/ high end gaming needs only.

– A good screen and an excellent trackpad-keyboard combination should be high on your priorities cause these two are the most interacted with parts of your laptop.

– Armed with this knowledge of specs, now you can start identifying the laptops which fit your bill and have the same requirements as you.

– Basically don’t get caught up in the marketing gimmicks of brands, and end up paying more for something you might never find use for.(I’m looking at you dvd drives)

CLOSING THE DEAL

– Apart from heavy designing/gaming needs, a decent laptop can be brought under 30k for your requirements, generally speaking.

– So students in college, you do not have to spend a lot to get a laptop which can cover your assignments, projects and gaming sessions. Just have to be a little smart in determining your requirements and you will definitely find something in your budget

– Given how laptops are used for many years, it is imperative that you take a well informed decision. Now go get your laptop.

Content Delivery Network- Driving The World

0

There’s hardly an area in our lives today that is not touched by the internet. Whether it is getting help on study assignments, finding the nearest restaurant to dine at, booking tickets, learning something new about the world- we do it all these days with the internet. Content delivery networks help to bring information to our devices by distributing this information.

The information can come to us as a download, namely documents, different types of media and software, or through portals and e-commerce sites. Along with all this also appear the exciting world of social media, live and on-demand streaming.

How CDN works

The first step that takes place is a decision. A media company or a business owner decides to go online to make sure their content reaches as many people as possible. They need someone to do it for them.  This is where the CDN operators come into the picture. Once they’ve understood what their clients need, they in turn, turn to other operators- namely, network, ISP and carrier operators to host their client’s servers in data centers.

So when you are browsing at your favorite music site, or thinking about what you need to buy, CDN runs over to the server nearest to you to give you the static information that shows up on the website. It does it so fast and so efficiently that you don’t even realize what’s happened. All you experience is a smooth, seamless and swift time.

CDN harnesses the power of a network with servers and centers. Through these, information is distributed and delivered in a ready and reliable method to users at the end of the process. All sorts of content delivery services come under this broad term. We’ve already seen some in the previous paragraph. Apart from those, cloud intelligence, mobile and web content acceleration, the measurement, license and management of CDN and load balancing also come under its ambit. It also happens that a vendor and a CDN reseller could move from all this to security and WAN optimization.

Like with everything, CDN also comes with its own disadvantages and advantages.

Disadvantages

  • Security

Because of the nature of the CDN, the information you park in it is distributed across several servers. This can prove to be a security concern.

  • Restricted application development

Since most of the data on the network is static- albeit updated- any change or development in application can be a challenge.

  • Expensive

CDN doesn’t come cheap and while the price may seem affordable, compare it to your regular internet plan and you’ll see that it’s actually not.

Advantages

  • Reduced bandwidth usage

Static content delivered to you means lower bandwidth requirement and use.

  • More visibility

Because your content gets sent to servers that are scattered, it means that your content enjoys high visibility.

  • Boon for content-rich pages

If your site has videos and pictures, then CDN reduces the load on it and increases speed.

  • SEO advantages

When it comes to pushing your business ahead, SEO strategies have many advantages. CDN is a great way to move SEO along. It does so by reducing the traffic on the site, encouraging visitors to stay on the page longer.

CDN makes your internet use comfortable and quick.

3 Reasons Why Mobile Web Design is a Must in 2017!

Having a user friendly mobile site is extremely important for consumers. Research shows that 57% of customers will abandon a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load and 30% of customers will abandon a purchase if the site isn’t optimized for a mobile device. Many consumers use their mobile devices for most of their tasks that could be done on a desktop, from checking social media, researching and buying products. Due to the increased mobile internet usage, it is crucial for companies to have mobile friendly websites. Specifically, below are 3 reasons why mobile web design is important in 2017 and how it can help your business.

  1. Mobile usage is on the rise. Roughly half of mobile phone users in the world use a smartphone at least once a month. As such, every month mobile usage continues to grow and many customers will view a website via their mobile devices. Furthermore, along with increased mobile device usage, consumers are also doing a lot more online shopping. Many people find mobile shopping much more convenient than having to drive to a store, and 80% of consumers regularly use their smartphones to shop online. Together, this means that an easy to use mobile website will bring more people to your site and keep them coming back.
  2. Better search engine ranking. Google is the most popular search engine in the world and this search engine actually prefers websites that are easily accessible through mobile devices (specifically responsive web designs). Responsive websites perform better in search rankings because they provide a better user experience. Google prefers these sites because they use a single URL instead of different URLs for separate versions of the same website. Additionally, mobile phones have a separate Google search algorithm, so just because a site ranks high in a Google search on a desktop doesn’t necessarily mean it will rank highly on a smartphone search. This can be critical to your site traffic if you consider that fact that mobile searches have overtaken desktop searches as of 2016.
  3. Better brand engagement. A company that has a more user friendly mobile website is much more likely to have customers return to their website, either on their mobile device or desktop computer later. The majority of consumers report that they move between devices to accomplish a task. Therefore, when a site is mobile friendly and optimized for functionality, then that leads to trust and brand loyalty. If a mobile site is difficult to use, then customers will likely go to other sites that are easier to use.

Overall, a user friendly mobile website is going to lead to happier customers who will continue to use your site. In the age of social media, these happy customers will likely share your site among their friends, leading to even more site traffic. If making a mobile-friendly site seems like a daunting task, a digital marketing company such as Digital Ethos, a web design agency in Leicester, can be a great option for the development of your site.
