First HP laptop with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and windows 10 has been spotted on popular benchmark website, geekbench that has given us some information on its specifications. Scheduled to be launched at the end of 2017, this HP 12 inch laptop is a convertible laptop with touchscreen display that can be used as slate tablet by folding the screen. Specifications include Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and it runs Windows 10S / Windows 10 32 bit OS. Processor’s clock speed is said to be between 1.9-2.2GHz backed by 4GB / 8GB RAM so the performance is not going to win any awards.

However, the price is going to be much cheaper than its Intel counterparts. Plus, the battery life is going to be much more than any other Intel processor. We are not saying there are no Intel-powered laptops with long battery life but they are no way as efficient as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835.

That being said, if you are planning to use your laptop for heavy duty tasks like Auto CAD or Solidworks or gaming, do not even think of buying a laptop with ARM processor like Qualcomm because they simple do not have enough power to run 3D modeling applications smoothly.

Not a day is passed when one does not come across a mini PC vs Xbox console debate. In 2017, mini PC gaming is going get even better thanks to the introduction of pre-built gaming PCs from companies like Valve Corporation which recently churned out Steam Machines.

This new type of gaming does not require you to have the latest gaming console or high end mini PC as almost all game processing is done in the cloud – on some very powerful computer on the server end.

Unlike the Zotac 1060 Mini, the company does not offer a single fan version of the GTX 1080Ti. It does offer a mini variant but it is not as small as the GTX 1060 Mini since 1080Ti mini makes use of two fans. To counter that problem, Zotac has churned out liquid cooled version Zotac 1080Ti graphics card. It is almost as small as the Zotac GTX 1060 Mini and offers same power and performance as the three / two fan GTX 1080Ti. This will allow desktop manufactures and assemblers to squeeze top-of-the line graphics card into small desktop cabinets.
