Are you in the market for a new laptop? Let's face it; laptops are becoming a necessity at work, in the classroom - even for entertainment at home. With their popularity, there is an overwhelming list of options to go through while deciding which laptop to buy. What you should consider when buying a new laptop? AMD has provided us with the top five things to keep in mind when purchasing a new laptop.

Size
First of all, size does matter when it comes to purchasing the right laptop. If you plan on carrying the laptop around with you to the library, class or any other location, you will want to choose one that is light and portable. If you plan to use it primarily in one location and for large tasks, you might want to look into larger screens.

Battery Life
Check out the battery life of the laptop. If you plan on traveling with it a lot you will want to make sure it has a long battery life. It should stay powered throughout the day because you do not want to end up stuck near an outlet charging it all of the time.

Processor

Depending on whether you are doing homework, watching movies, or playing games, you will need different processing speeds. Read more

GDC Keynote

While we may have been "Mortal Enemies" back when he was a kid in the industry and we were promoting Atari, the years have been kind to him!

Heck he's survived in the game industry for 25 years and that says a lot for anyone!

As the industry changed from game systems to mobile to social media he's learned a lot from the mistakes of others and his own.

Back in the early years it was all about technically superior, adrenaline kicking in and heart throbbing games. Only an idiot would roll out a family friendly set of games like Wii.

LG ARENA

Or, are your phone’s graphics really that fast all on their own? That is really an AMD processor in the LG ARENA S-Class. The new ARENA from LG will change the way you access your information, media files, photos, etc. The intent is to eliminate steps in the way you access the information you need by leveraging the advantages of a touchscreen.

The cube is customizable with four home screens that provide fast access to all features with the flip of a finger or thumb. Add this new UI to the colorful graphics that provide a dynamic look and feel to the ARENA and you will be amazed. Read more
