GPD Win 2 - Pocket Gaming Laptop


Today I am sharing about a great product for gamers who are busy with their day to day lives.It is GPD Win 2.Here GPD stands for GamePad Digital.So some of you may have heard about GPD Win.Actually this is the second edition of GPD Win.Actually this is a Handheld Gaming Console which supports most of the newely released games which require a better VGA and RAM capacity.When reading this post you will get a thought that this is similar to PSP (PlayStation Portable).Yeah that is true when you are gaming.But GPD Win 2 gives many more than gaming.Let us see all the details about GPD Win 2.




The handheld devices like PSP struggled to run AAA games like GTA V.What is the reason for that?To play AAA games you need a great processor and a better battery to supply sufficient power to the device.When you are trying to fulfill both conditions,the device becomes larger in size.So it is no more a hand held device.But this company gave a solution for that.It is GPD Win hand held consoles.



Actually you can consider this as a mini laptop.This device has a Intel Core m3-7Y30 processor same as the Microsoft Surface Pro and Huawei Matebook E.It is powered by Windows 10 Home 64 bit edition.Internal storage is a 128 GB Solid-State Drive (SSD).Random Access Memory (RAM) capacity is 8 GB(DDR3).The screen size is 6 inches and the whole device including in built keyboard weighs 0.46 kilograms.





In built Video Graphics Array Card (VGA) is a Intel HD Graphics 650 one.Screen is a touch sensitive display with corning gorilla glass 4.You can see a micro SD slot,one USB type C port,one USB type A port,Micro HDMI port and a 3.5 mm Headphone jack in this device.The important fact is SSD card is user replaceable.That means if you have a bigger SSD you can put it into your GPD Win 2.The display is not at it's best according to these days standards.But you can play most of the online streaming games pretty well with device.And also most of the AAA category games are playable.But not with the highest graphical settings.Here are the games can be played according to indiegogo.com

Useful Tools For React Developers

Welcome back to D Guides folks.This post is valuable for newbies for react development.I am sharing about few tools you can use when developing react applications.It is important leaning tools like these same as understanding a framework like React.These tools will help us to maintain high code quality. 1. Prettier Prettier is a tool which will format the code consistently according to the standards.First step to do is install prettier as a developer dependency.Why developer dependency is the next question hops into your mind.We don't need to have prettier as a dependency when we are deploying the application so that is why it is installed as a developer dependency.Then we need to install prettier plugin for vs code.VS Code is my first choice when doing web development.Then we are changing two things in preferences.First thing is enabling format on save.Other option we are enabling is require config.By that we ensure that prettier will run only on the projects prettier h

Deep Dive Into Azure Global Infrastructure

Have you ever wonder when you deploy an app into cloud how exactly it is hosted in cloud? Or maybe is it safe to host an app in cloud and how they maintain high availability?This post will clear  all your doubts  and free your mind. What is a Datacenter? Inside of a Datacenter Azure Datacenter is the smallest node or the exact physical location where our resources reside.But datacenters are not exposed to end users.These datacenters act exactly as the on premises servers.But since these datacenters are cloud datacenters you have extra capabilities which will help you grow with the customer base (Scale Up) or vice versa (Scale Down) for a lower cost than creating and maintaining own servers. Curious about Azure Regions ? Azure has more Regions than any other cloud provider.If you want the exact numbers there are 58 global regions and a region is a set of datacenters inside a latency defined perimeter.Most of the time we deal with these region when we deploy re

Bigger Picture Of Node Event Loops

Image
Even though you are a beginner for node js you all know that Node.js is single threaded.But we use Node.js for powerful backends and we can include concurrence functionality into a Node.js application using events and call backs.In simple terms 'Event Loop' is what permits Node.js to perform non blocking I/O operations.Node.js uses event in large scale and it is the reason behind the speed when comparing to other technologies in the same stack What exactly is 'Event Loop' ? Everything happens in Node.js platform is because of events.'Event Loop' mechanism is inside the library called 'Libuv'.Since there is only one thread both userland code (code of the user) and event loop run in that same thread.Every callback is handled by the so called mechanism 'Event Loop'.Every userland code running in a Node application is a callback.Event Loop is behind the huge success of Node.js development.As I mentioned earlier every Node application i
