When purchasing a flash drive, many people ask the question: “how to choose the right flash drive.” Of course, choosing a flash drive is not so difficult if you know exactly for what purpose it is being purchased. In this article I will try to give a complete answer to the question posed. I decided to write only about what to look for when buying.
A flash drive (USB drive) is a drive designed for storing and transferring information. The flash drive works very simply without batteries. You just need to connect it to the USB port of your PC.
1. Flash drive interface
On this moment There are 2 interfaces: USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. If you decide to buy a flash drive, then I recommend taking a flash drive with a USB 3.0 interface. This interface was made recently, its main feature is high speed data transmission. We'll talk about speeds a little lower.
This is one of the main parameters that you need to look at first. Now flash drives from 1 GB to 256 GB are sold. The cost of a flash drive will directly depend on the amount of memory. Here you need to immediately decide for what purpose you are buying a flash drive. If you are going to store it text documents, then 1 GB will be enough. For downloading and transferring movies, music, photos, etc. you need to take the more, the better. Today, the most popular flash drives are from 8GB to 16GB.
3. Housing material
The body can be made of plastic, glass, wood, metal, etc. Most flash drives are made of plastic. I can’t give any advice here; it all depends on the buyer’s preferences.
4. Data transfer rate
Earlier I wrote that there are two standards: USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Now I will explain how they differ. The USB 2.0 standard has read speeds of up to 18 Mbit/s and write speeds of up to 10 Mbit/s. The USB 3.0 standard has a read speed of 20-70 Mbit/s, and a write speed of 15-70 Mbit/s. Here, I think, there is no need to explain anything.
Nowadays you can find flash drives of different shapes and sizes in stores. They can be in the form of jewelry, fancy animals, etc. Here I would advise taking flash drives that have a protective cap.
6. Password protection
There are flash drives that have a password protection feature. Such protection is carried out using a program that is located in the flash drive itself. The password can be set both on the entire flash drive and on part of the data in it. Such a flash drive will primarily be useful to people who transfer corporate information to it. According to the manufacturers, if you lose it, you don’t have to worry about your data. Not so simple. If such a flash drive falls into the hands of an understanding person, then hacking it is just a matter of time.
These flash drives look very beautiful, but I would not recommend buying them. Because they are very fragile and often break in half. But if you are a neat person, then feel free to take it.
Conclusion
As you noticed, there are many nuances. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In my opinion, the most important parameters when choosing are: the standard of the flash drive, the capacity and speed of writing and reading. And everything else: design, material, options - this is just everyone’s personal choice.Good afternoon, my dear friends. In today's article I want to talk about how to choose the right mouse pad. When buying a rug, many people do not attach any importance to this. But as it turned out, this point needs to be given special attention, because... The mat determines one of the indicators of comfort while working at a PC. For an avid gamer, choosing a rug is a completely different story. Let's look at what types of mouse pads have been invented today.
Mat options
1. Aluminum2. Glass
3. Plastic
4. Rubberized
5. Double sided
6. Helium
And now I would like to talk about each type in more detail.
1. First I want to consider three options at once: plastic, aluminum and glass. These rugs are very popular among gamers. For example, plastic mats are easier to find on sale. The mouse glides quickly and accurately on these mats. And most importantly, these mouse pads are suitable for both laser and optical mice. Aluminum and glass mats will be a little harder to find. Yes, and they will cost a lot. True, there is a reason for this - they will serve for a very long time. These types of rugs have minor flaws. Many people say that they rustle when operating and are a little cool to the touch, which may cause discomfort for some users.
2. Rubberized (rag) mats have soft sliding, but the accuracy of their movements is worse. For ordinary users such a rug will be just right. And they are much cheaper than the previous ones.
3. Double-sided mouse pads, in my opinion, are a very interesting type of mouse pad. As the name suggests, these rugs have two sides. Typically, one side is high-speed and the other is high-precision. It happens that each side is designed for a specific game.
4. Helium mats have a silicone cushion. She supposedly supports the hand and relieves tension from it. For me personally, they turned out to be the most inconvenient. According to their intended purpose, they are designed for office workers, since they sit at the computer all day long. These mats are not suitable for casual users and gamers. The mouse glides very poorly on the surface of such mouse pads, and their accuracy is not the best.
Mat sizes
There are three types of rugs: large, medium and small. Here everything primarily depends on the taste of the user. But as is commonly believed, large rugs are good for games. Small and medium ones are taken mainly for work.Rugs design
In this regard, there are no restrictions. It all depends on what you want to see on your rug. Fortunately, now they don’t draw anything on rugs. The most popular are logos computer games, such as Dota, Warcraft, ruler, etc. But if it happened that you couldn’t find a rug with the pattern you wanted, don’t be upset. Now you can order a print on a rug. But such mats have a disadvantage: when printing is applied to the surface of the mat, its properties deteriorate. Design in exchange for quality.
This is where I want to end the article. On my own behalf I wish to do you right choice and be happy with it.
For anyone who doesn’t have a mouse or wants to replace it with another one, I advise you to look at the article:.
Monoblocks Microsoft have been replenished with a new all-in-one model called Surface Studio. Microsoft recently presented its new product at an exhibition in New York.
On a note! I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago where I reviewed the Surface all-in-one. This candy bar was presented earlier. To view the article, click on.
Design
Microsoft calls its new product the world's thinnest candy bar. Weighing 9.56 kg, the thickness of the display is only 12.5 mm, the remaining dimensions are 637.35x438.9 mm. The display dimensions are 28 inches with a resolution greater than 4K (4500x3000 pixels), aspect ratio 3:2.
On a note! The display resolution of 4500x3000 pixels corresponds to 13.5 million pixels. This is 63% more than 4K resolution.
The all-in-one display itself is touch-sensitive, housed in an aluminum case. On such a display it is very convenient to draw with a stylus, which ultimately opens up new possibilities for using a candy bar. In my opinion, this candy bar model will appeal to creative people (photographers, designers, etc.).
On a note! For people in creative professions, I advise you to look at the article where I reviewed all-in-one computers with similar functionality. Click on the highlighted one: .
To everything written above, I would add that the main feature of the candy bar will be its ability to instantly turn into a tablet with a huge working surface.
On a note! By the way, Microsoft has another amazing candy bar. To find out about it, go to.
Specifications
I will present the characteristics in the form of a photograph.
From the periphery I would like to note the following: 4 USB port, Mini-Display Port connector, network port Ethernet, card-reader, 3.5 mm audio jack, 1080p webcam, 2 microphones, 2.1 Dolby Audio Premium audio system, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. The monoblock also supports wireless controllers Xbox.
Price
When purchasing an all-in-one PC, Windows 10 will be installed on it. Creators Update. This system should be released in spring 2017. This operating system will have updated Paint, Office, etc. The price for an all-in-one PC will be from $3,000.Dear friends, write in the comments what you think about this candy bar, ask questions. I'll be glad to chat!
OCZ demonstrated the new VX 500 SSD drives. These drives will be equipped with a Serial ATA 3.0 interface and are made in a 2.5-inch form factor.
On a note! Anyone interested in how SSD drives work and how long they last can read in an article I wrote earlier:.The new products are made using 15-nanometer technology and will be equipped with Tochiba MLC NAND flash memory microchips. The controller in the SSD drives will be Tochiba TC 35 8790.
The lineup VX 500 drives will consist of 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. According to the manufacturer, the sequential read speed will be 550 MB/s (this is for all drives in this series), but the write speed will be from 485 MB/s to 512 MB/s.
The number of input/output operations per second (IOPS) with data blocks of 4 KB in size can reach 92,000 when reading, and 65,000 when writing (this is all at random).
The thickness of OCZ VX 500 drives will be 7 mm. This will allow them to be used in ultrabooks.
The prices of the new products will be as follows: 128 GB - $64, 256 GB - $93, 512 GB - $153, 1 TB - $337. I think in Russia they will cost more.
Lenovo presented its new gaming all-in-one IdeaCentre Y910 at Gamescom 2016.
On a note! Previously, I wrote an article where I already reviewed gaming all-in-one PCs different manufacturers. This article You can view it by clicking on this one.
The new product from Lenovo received a frameless display measuring 27 inches. The display resolution is 2560x1440 pixels (this is QHD format), the refresh rate is 144 Hz, and the response time is 5 ms.
The monoblock will have several configurations. The maximum configuration includes a 6 processor Intel generation Core i7, volume hard drive up to 2 TB or 256 GB. The amount of RAM is 32 GB DDR4. Will be responsible for graphics NVIDIA video card GeForce GTX 1070 or GeForce GTX 1080 with Pascal architecture. Thanks to such a video card, it will be possible to connect a virtual reality helmet to the candy bar.
From the periphery of the candy bar, I would highlight the Harmon Kardon audio system with 5-watt speakers, the Killer DoubleShot Pro Wi-Fi module, a webcam, USB ports 2.0 and 3.0, HDMI connectors.
In its basic version, the IdeaCentre Y910 monoblock will go on sale in September 2016 at a price of 1,800 euros. But the candy bar with the “VR-ready” version will appear in October at a price of 2,200 euros. It is known that this version will have a GeForce GTX 1070 video card.
MediaTek has decided to upgrade its Helio X30 mobile processor. So now the developers from MediaTek are designing a new mobile processor called Helio X35.
I would like to briefly talk about Helio X30. This processor has 10 cores, which are combined into 3 clusters. Helio X30 has 3 variations. The first - the most powerful - consists of Cortex-A73 cores with a frequency of up to 2.8 GHz. There are also blocks with Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of up to 2.2 GHz and Cortex-A35 with a frequency of 2.0 GHz.
New processor Helio X35 also has 10 cores and is created using 10-nanometer technology. The clock frequency in this processor will be much higher than that of its predecessor and ranges from 3.0 Hz. The new product will allow you to use up to 8 GB of LPDDR4 RAM. The graphics in the processor will most likely be handled by the Power VR 7XT controller.
The station itself can be seen in the photographs in the article. In them we can see storage compartments. One bay has a 3.5" jack and the other has a 2.5" jack. Thus, it will be possible to connect both a solid-state drive (SSD) and HDD(HDD).
The dimensions of the Drive Dock station are 160x150x85mm, and the weight is no less than 970 grams.
Many people probably have a question about how the Drive Dock connects to a computer. I answer: this happens through the USB port 3.1 Gen 1. According to the manufacturer, the sequential read speed will be 434 MB/s, and in write mode (sequential) 406 MB/s. The new product will be compatible with Windows and Mac OS.
This device will be very useful for people who work with photo and video materials at a professional level. Drive Dock can also be used for backup copies files.
The price for the new device will be acceptable - it is $90.
On a note! Previously, Renduchinthala worked for Qualcomm. And since November 2015, he moved to a competing company, Intel.
In his interview, Renduchintala did not talk about mobile processors, but only said the following, I quote: “I prefer to talk less and do more.”
Thus, the Intel top manager created great intrigue with his interview. We can only wait for new announcements in the future.

Surely everyone knows what a candy bar is. But just to be sure, let’s repeat it again. A monoblock is a device that combines several devices, which significantly increases the free space and greatly simplifies assembly.
Toshiba has released a magnificent all-in-one PC Qosmio DX730-A1W with the latest equipment inside. The filling contains motherboard from Intel, with a processor that many people want to see Intel Core i7 2670QM latest generation with clock frequency 2.2 Hz and 6 MB cache. RAM DDR3 is also great with the maximum possible memory up to 16 GB, but it only contains 8192 MB. The hard drive is not small in size, not in dimensions, of course, but in the volume of information it can hold, and it is 2000 GB or 2 TB, which is not small. Don't forget about the sound; the monoblock is equipped with a good HD Audio card and stereo speakers on the front panel. Toshiba Qosmio is also equipped with a GeForce GT 540M video card with 1024 MB of memory. In addition, like all computers, it is equipped with an Ethernet network, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing you to quickly and conveniently transfer or connect to the network wirelessly.
The all-in-one design is gorgeous and simple, especially convenient to use.
Since the monoblock is essentially regular computer only connected to the monitor in one piece, but it is necessary to pay attention to the dimensions of the display of our candy bar. The display contains a Full HD matrix, 23” diagonal with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. But, besides all this, our display is not ordinary, it is touch-sensitive, which is a good surprise for users. Now you can control your all-in-one with just a light touch of your hand, which is very pleasant and convenient.
Among other things, there is a microphone with a camera on the front panel. And on the back there are 4 USB 2.0, 2 HDMI ports, LAN input, a port for connecting power and of course a port for TV. What? Yes, exactly, you understood everything correctly, this monoblock contains a TV tuner, another plus to the device. In addition to the rear panel, the monoblock also has a side panel, where 2 USB 3.0 ports, headphone and microphone inputs, and a Card Reader are installed.
And all these parts work under one operating system, familiar to millions, Windows 7.
The monoblock itself weighs a lot - 9.1 kg, with its overall dimensions 561.4 x 439 x 190 mm. It can be seen that it is not quite thin and not small.
But if you compare the Toshiba Qosmio DX730-A1W all-in-one PC with the Lenovo IdeaCentre B520A2 all-in-one, then the price difference is several hundred rubles. At the same time, Lenovo is in no way inferior to Toshiba, and in some places even. If you don’t take into account the dimensions, Lenovo’s are larger, but not much, as is the weight. Another advantage is that along with the all-in-one, it also comes with control devices, an optical mouse and, of course, a keyboard. This candy bar is suitable for everyone, including the elderly. Use it in any activity, be it gaming, communication, study or other entertainment, for work or at home. Toshiba Qosmio DX730-A1W will justify itself and show only its best side.

Technologies have already become so closely intertwined with the life of a modern civilized person that the new generation can hardly imagine a world without computers, phones, the Internet and other technical joys. It is worth noting that this industry continues to constantly develop: fundamentally new technologies appear, old ones are improved, and various variations of devices are created based on existing developments. A new successful idea immediately becomes fashionable, so convenient and multifunctional monoblocks are gradually winning the market from those that have become sore. desktop computers and laptops familiar to the eye. Their advantage is their compactness and all-in-one combination, when buying one thing, you get both system unit, and monitor and mouse (touch screen control) in one device. Undoubtedly, all-in-one PCs are not a cheap pleasure, but all costs are offset by ease of use, functionality and stylish design. Toshiba is known for its quality, so we can assume that the new Qosmio DX730 will be a good purchase for any leader or student.
General characteristics and design
Considering the announced price (approximately $1000), Toshiba Qosmio DX730 can be classified as premium or business monoblocks. The design is laconic, there is nothing superfluous. The official black color is organically combined with small inserts of gray, which complements the picture and creates a strict and consistent style. The screen, also known as the body, which is also the functional part, is located on a shaped stand. The base of the leg is very wide and due to its curved shape (the support is on three points), the device is quite stable. If necessary, it can be dismantled and the monoblock can be hung on the wall, although it is not entirely clear why this might be needed. The total size of the entire monoblock is 56x19x44 cm. At the same time, it weighs a lot - about 8 kg.The standard rectangular case is complemented by a trapezoidal panel in which the speakers are mounted. Due to this design, the monoblock looks more elegant and soft, but at the same time does not lose its rigor and formality. Qosmio DX730 will fit seamlessly into a modern office or executive office. The body itself is made of glossy plastic. This is not very convenient because fingerprints will be clearly visible. The device is supplied with wireless devices input(mouse and keyboard), made in the same style as the candy bar itself. An additional detail in the design of the Qosmio DX730 is the power button.
Display options
IN monoblock Qosmio DX730 the main working surface is a screen, so the creators installed TFT touch display with a diagonal of 23” and did not skimp on quality. Full HD quality combined with a resolution of 1920x1080 and LED backlighting will allow the client to appreciate all the nuances of the image. The use of the latest technologies has made it possible to achieve clarity, contrast, rich and vibrant colors in this monoblock. The display size is medium, which means you can comfortably watch videos and, at the same time, work with documents.You can control the system and applications using the multi-touch function that the screen of this model supports. The advantage of this approach is that the user can work with both hands: resizing the window, moving shortcuts, scrolling pages or opening/closing applications.
But it is not always convenient to work only with the display, especially if you need to create a table in Excel or type a document in Word. Therefore, in addition to the main unit, Toshiba also supplies wireless keyboard and mouse.
Performance and filling
Like many modern manufacturers computer equipment, Toshiba specialists used processors from Intel. But, depending on the processor model, the price of the monoblock also differs. Qosmio DX730 available to customers in 6 trim levels: DX730-100 is equipped with a processor Pentium series version B950, and model DX730-10P - versions B960, DX730-101 and DX730-102 are equipped with the more familiar 2330M, 2350M from Core series i3, respectively, and the DX730-10Q and DX730-10U are built on 2430M and 2450M Core i5 processors. With such a “brain”, it is not surprising that the RAM capacity ranges from 4 to 6 GB. This combination will allow the user to run resource-intensive applications and quickly work with several programs at the same time. Almost all configuration options provide a 1 TB hard drive, and only the sixth model, the DX730-10U, received a 2 TB HDD.The video card in all models is installed the same, namely Intel HD Graphics. Sound is provided by built-in Onkyo stereo speakers, located in the lower front part of the body. The integrated TV tuner will allow you to use the Qosmio DX730 as a TV at home.
Work with the Internet is organized using a connection via local network, wireless module Wi-Fi (type 802.11b/g/n). Interaction with external devices is provided by Bluetooth, version 3.0+HS.
Ports and connectors
The "poorest" side on Qosmio DX730 ports– right. Only the DVD-ROM writer lives there in splendid isolation. But in contrast, on the left side there are: a slot for reading memory cards (supports the most popular formats), two USB ports and standard connectors for connecting headphones and a microphone. In addition, a block of 6 keys is located on the right side EasyControl, which are responsible for turning on/off the display, adjusting brightness and sound +/-.The main part of the ports is on the back. These include: additional 4 USB (one of which supports the Sleep-and-Charge function), an RJ-45 port for connecting a fiber optic cable, an HDMI connector and audio outputs for connecting a 5-in-1 system. In addition, the Qosmio DX730 has 2 slots for installing additional memory cards.
Online communication is organized using a 1.3 MP built-in webcam and integrated microphone.
additional information
This monoblock provides several degrees of protection. This is the ability to set a user password, an administrator password, and a HDD password. In addition, there is a connector for a Kensington lock (cable included).All models have an integrated home or premium version of Windows 7 OS. Additionally, the manufacturer provides various pre-installed applications, which facilitate the work process.
Thus, Toshiba Qosmio DX730- This modern device, which meets all the requirements of the average manager and is intended for stationary work in the office or at home.
21.5 inch computer system At $935, it's not as fast as others in its price range, but it has good appearance and some useful features, including touch input capability and the ability to act as a display for HDMI video sources. We're still waiting for any all-in-one PC maker to find the perfect combination of value and functionality at this price point, and for its first desktop computer in a decade, Toshiba has made a good attempt. We recommend this system to anyone looking for a mid-range Windows all-in-one with touch input and external device integration.
Toshiba has opted for a simple design for its new all-in-one PC, featuring a glossy black rim with a silver-gray finish along the bottom edge. On right side The case contains special buttons for adjusting the volume, screen brightness, power button and selecting the input type - a more logical set of controls than usually found on competitive all-in-one PCs.

A comparison between the HP Omni 200-5380qd, HP's recently released all-in-one PC, and the Toshiba DX1210-ST4N22 doesn't favor the latter, but the HP Omni doesn't support touch input and does not have an HDMI input. We'd love to add a Blu-ray drive, a dedicated graphics card, or a faster CPU to Toshiba's offering, but the HDMI input still makes this system twice as useful as the HP Omni. Not every user will need or find it convenient touch screen, but the fact that you can use the Toshiba as a display for other devices is one of its main selling points, and it pretty much makes up for any complaints about the rest of the features.

Although 21.5-inch screens like Toshiba's are standard in this price range You can also get a 23-inch display in the same category (under $1,000) of all-in-one PCs, such as the Dell Inspiron One 2305. The Inspiron One 2305 also has an HDMI input, and that would seem to give it the overall edge, but you You can see in our performance test results that the Toshiba was significantly faster than the AMD-equipped Inspiron in almost every test. None of these Windows all-in-ones are designed to handle high-definition video and graphics (which is a very resource-intensive task), and although the Toshiba has an i5 4010 chip that has a fairly powerful graphics core, it will hardly be able to handle Deus Ex: Human Revolution , and if it can, then only with the lowest graphic settings. However, the Toshiba DX1210 is quite fast system, and its price and versatility makes up for what it lacks in pure performance.
In addition to the HDMI input, the Toshiba all-in-one PC boasts two ports USB interface 3.0, which is still a rare option. You also get four slower USB 2.0 inputs, as well as an additional, hidden USB 2.0 port that hides a receiver for wireless mice and keyboards. The rest of the list of inputs includes two analog audio jacks and an Ethernet adapter. We would of course like to see digital audio outputs, but in general, there is little that one could wish for in addition to the system in this regard.
Unlike most other touchscreen all-in-one PCs, the DX1210-ST4N22 doesn't have a large set of applications that support touch input. Toshiba included some useful applications, which support touchscreen input, including Toshiba's Book Place, and ReelTime, a “carousel” interface that displays large, easy-to-read touch control icons of your documents and application usage history.
| Toshiba DX1210-ST4N22 energy consumption modes (in Watts/hour) | |
| Switched off | 0.95 |
| Sleeping mode | 1.13 |
| System inactivity | 32.54 |
| In download mode | 76.27 |
| On average (per year, kWh) | 138.25 |
| Energy Star Compliant | There is |
| Annual electricity costs (at the rate of 3 rubles/kWh, 0.11 $/kWh) | |
The power consumption of Toshiba's all-in-one PC is one of the best in the sub-$1000 class, which we attribute to the impressive efficiency of the second generation Intel processors Core i5. Next to the slower, more power-hungry AMD that underpins the Dell Inspiron One, Toshiba appears to be a paragon of sustainability.
The Toshiba DX1210's standard one-year warranty covers parts and labor. You'll also receive free 24-7 phone support, as well as a variety of diagnostic software and services on the Toshiba website and on the computer itself.
Review and testing results
Although Toshiba has been out of the desktop market for a decade, our review of the Toshiba DX1210-ST4N22 all-in-one PC shows that the company still knows how to build a quality system for this purpose. There are a few improvements to be made for the DX1210-ST4N22, but overall Toshiba has struck an attractive balance between performance and functionality in this system, all at a reasonable price.
pros: The Toshiba DX1210-ST4N22 offers respectable all-in-one performance for $1,000, along with the versatility of an HDMI input.
Minuses: It would be preferable to have more reliable components than touch input. And in this price range there are even larger screens.
Bottom line: After a 10-year absence from the consumer desktop market, Toshiba is making a strong comeback with the DX1210-ST4N22, which delivers value for money, performance and features.
