Laptops and Chromebooks stand out as two prominent contenders, each with its unique set of features and functionalities. Understanding the differences between these devices is crucial for making an informed decision that aligns with your needs and preferences.

Performance and Operating System:

One of the primary distinctions between laptops and Chromebooks lies in their operating systems. Laptops typically run operating systems like Windows, macOS, or Linux, offering a wide range of applications and software compatibility. In contrast, Chromebooks operate on Chrome OS, a cloud-based platform developed by Google. This streamlined system is known for its simplicity, speed, and security but is inherently reliant on an internet connection for optimal functionality.

Applications and Software:

The software ecosystem is another area where these devices diverge. Laptops support a broad array of applications, ranging from resource-intensive software suites for design and gaming to various productivity tools. On the other hand, Chromebooks thrive on web applications and rely heavily on Google’s suite of productivity tools such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. While web apps can be powerful, the Chromebook’s limitations become apparent when users require specialized software not available on the Chrome OS.

Storage and Hardware:

Laptops typically offer larger onboard storage capacities, making them ideal for users who require ample space for locally stored files, applications, and multimedia content. Chromebooks, designed with cloud computing in mind, often come with more modest internal storage since users are encouraged to store files on Google Drive or other cloud services. This design choice contributes to a more lightweight and affordable device.

Price Point and Affordability:

Chromebooks are renowned for their affordability, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. The streamlined Chrome OS allows manufacturers to produce cost-effective devices without compromising speed and security. Laptops, while available at various price points, may be comparatively more expensive, especially for those seeking high-performance specifications or premium build quality.

Security and Maintenance:

Chromebooks are celebrated for their robust security features. The Chrome OS employs a sandboxing approach that isolates processes and prevents malware from spreading, and regular automatic updates enhance security further. Laptops, especially those running Windows, may require more vigilant security measures, such as installing antivirus software and regular system updates.

Choosing between a laptop and a Chromebook ultimately boils down to individual needs and preferences. If versatility, a wide range of applications, and offline capabilities are paramount, a laptop may be the preferred choice. On the other hand, if simplicity, affordability, and a predominantly online workflow align with your requirements, a Chromebook could be the perfect fit. Understanding the differences outlined above will empower consumers to make an informed decision based on their unique computing needs.

]]> 4 Components To Protect Your Windows PC http://globalworldtechnology.org/4-components-to-protect-your-windows-pc/ Wed, 07 Nov 2018 01:00:01 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=739 Article by Pierre Zarokian.

Modern day criminals know that the internet is where the money is and which is where they spend their time. Which means that us honest people have to be twice as careful.

It should be obvious that protecting your information online is far more complex than keeping your bag close or even locking your door.

Here are 4 important components of protecting your Windows PC:

1: Antivirus

Make sure whenever Windows in running, it should run an up-to-date antivirus program. This program will run in the background and block not only viruses but all types of malware too. You can find the best option by looking up AVTest.

2: Another opinion malware scanner

This is recommended because even the best antivirus program can miss an attack from time to time. So, it’s best advised to scan your PC with another program that will scan only when you tell it to. Use Malwarebytes Anti-malware.

3: Firewall

Much like an antivirus, this program will also run in the background at all times too. Yet its function is to control the traffic between the internet and your PC. Of course, Windows offers a decent firewall but you have to ensure that it has been turned on. For this, type ‘firewall’ while selecting Windows Firewall in Control Panel. Also, in the left pane, turn Windows on or off.

4: Updates

Ensure that Windows 7 or 8 stays updated. So, look for or launch Windows Update. Now, click Change settings in the left pane. If Install Windows automatically (recommended) isn’t selected, then ensure it is turned on. For Windows 10, search for windows updates while selecting Windows Updates. Now scroll down to the bottom of the window and select Advanced options. Now, make sure Automatic (recommended).

]]> 3 Tips to Keeping Your Laptop Safe While You Travel http://globalworldtechnology.org/3-tips-to-keeping-your-laptop-safe-while-you-travel/ Fri, 07 Jul 2017 11:08:32 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=497 If you’re off on a holiday trip, then there’s no question that the laptop will be coming with you. As you all know, there’s just no way you can fully escape work.

However, there are times when things can go wrong and you might end up having your laptop stolen or lost.

For this, here are 3 security tips that you can consider when traveling:

#1: Ensure you carry it in a padded bag

Your laptop is not for carrying around your arm, book bag or backpack but requires a decent one that is padded. The reason for this is that travel involves a lot of pushing bags into tight spots and so, if you shove a little too hard, the laptop can get damaged quite easily. So, ensure you pick a bag that has plenty of protection while also having separate sections for power cables and accessories.

#2: Switch it off

No matter what you do, don’t leave your computer on when placing it in a padded bag. The heat can damage the computer in a number of ways and is probably your laptop’s worst enemy. So to be on the safe side, instead of hibernating the laptop, it’s a good idea to turn it off completely.

#3: Back it up and lock it down

It’s a disaster losing your laptop which would contain files of sensitive information that are stored on it. This is where a backup regimen where you keep a copy of your files at home or in the office or even in the cloud works for the best.

Worse still would losing personal and sensitive information such as personal photos or even banking information. Encrypt your drive and use strong passwords to prevent this from happening.

]]> 3 Tips to Increase Your Chromebook’s Battery Life http://globalworldtechnology.org/3-tips-to-increase-your-chromebooks-battery-life/ Wed, 08 Feb 2017 00:23:35 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=649 Given that Chromebooks employ a less resource-intensive operating system, the battery life is so much compared to Macbooks or even PCs with Windows.

However, there are other tweaks that can be made so as to ensure the battery last even longer.

Having said that, here are 4 tips to increase your Chromebook’s battery life:

#1: Reduce the number of Chrome tabs

The more number of Chrome tabs you have open, the more it reduces battery life. Keeping fewer tabs open will ensure that it lasts longer, of course. In order to do this, right-click your mouse on a browser tab and ‘Close other tabs’ or two finger-press the trackpad for the same thing.

#2: Turn off Wi-Fi

Even if it’s a Chromebook which depends heavily on the internet, turning off the Wi-Fi can help save battery life especially you’ve got very little to go on. Apart from this, you can also perform a number of tasks offline such as Gmail, Google Docs among a host of other apps that are available. Of course, you turn on Wi-Fi again, these services will sync with Google’s servers.

#3: Turn off Bluetooth

It makes no sense keeping this service on if you aren’t using it. For this, navigate to Settings>Advanced Settings in the Chrome options menu. After this, scroll down to the Bluetooth section and then uncheck the box. Of course, you can use the Search option to find the Bluetooth option and turn it off as well.

]]> All About SD Cards http://globalworldtechnology.org/all-about-sd-cards/ Tue, 07 Feb 2017 00:26:46 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=508 By definition, the acronym SD stands for Secure Digital, and in short, is referred to as SD cards.

And as you all know, SD is the present standard for removable flash storage cards used in mobile devices and come in a wide range of three physical sizes along with a number of speeds and capacities.

As for the word ‘Secure’ used in the term ‘SD card’, there are a few features that are rarely used that benefit not only Hollywood (such as the DRM feature) as well as a write-protect notch and password protection on a select few of these devices.

As for their sizes, they come in three and are called Mini, Micro and normal SD cards. The normal SD cards have slots in PCs while the Micro version is largely used in Android devices. Alternatively, Mini SD cards are obsolete now.

Also, these card are classified by their sizes too with the standard capacity measuring up to 2 GB, high capacity is 32 GB and extended capacity going up to 2 TB maximum.

SD cards are also classified based on their speeds with the lowest being signified by the letter ‘C’ and a number where 2 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. Other cards have a ‘U’ and are designed for ultra high speeds and only for specific devices.

Apart from the usual SD cards that are available called SDIO cards (Input/ Output) and which work in very specific devices offering much more than simple storage much like the aforementioned ones. Some of the features that these devices add are GPS and Wi-fi among several others.

However, it can be a real headache when finding whether or not certain games work on your PC or not.

Of course, if your PC has been created for gaming then that might not be much of a problem but this will be difficult if you’ve got a standard issue laptop.

Going through specifics to see if your graphics card or processor can be a real task to deal with but this can all be fixed just by taking from the website, Can You Run It.

What this website does is it scans your PC to find out whether your machine can handle the game you’ve been wanting to play for sometime.

For this, open the website and pick the game you want to play from the dropdown list. Once you’ve done this, click the button that reads “Can You Run It”.

A pop-up window will appear with three choices asking you to choose between using a desktop or web app to check your system requirements or to just read the requirements of the game manually.

The recommendation from experts include picking the desktop app, installing and running it. This will redirect you to a page at the website along with the recommendations for the game you wish to run on your system.

Once you’ve installed the desktop app, you can go back to the site over and over again to check if other games will work on your PC as well.

]]> 3 Ways to Separate Your PC Use for Work and Play http://globalworldtechnology.org/3-ways-to-separate-your-pc-use-for-work-and-play/ Wed, 07 Sep 2016 09:45:08 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=563 All if not most of us both play and work online. While you might be working on Google Drive during the day, there’s a chance that you might be chilling out and chatting with friends using Skype.

Which begs the question: can you separate your personal and professional identities?

That said, here are 3 ways of making this clear demarcation between these identities on Windows devices:

#1: Separate browsers

The first way is to use separate browsers for both work  and play. Chrome and Firefox are obvious choices. However, this will mean that you can only use one browser at a time. One way of dealing with this problem is to open multiple accounts in either browser.

#2: Several Windows accounts

While it is difficult to create these accounts, they’re rather easy to use for your work and personal life. Of course, all your files and work-related material can be on one account while the other one can have all your play-related stuff. In Windows 7, you can open a new account in Control Panel while in Windows 8.1, you can navigate through Settings>Change PC settings>Accounts>Other Accounts.

#3: Several Google accounts

The third way to do this is by switching between two Google accounts that Google allows but only if you keep in mind a couple of rules. The first is that the account that you use first will be considered the default account when you navigate to other Google pages. As for the second rule, if you want to view your personal account’s Google+ page, you will have to follow it from another personal page or switch accounts normally at the top of the page.

]]> How to Spot Potentially Unwanted Programs when Installing a Free Program http://globalworldtechnology.org/how-to-spot-potentially-unwanted-programs-when-installing-a-free-program/ Thu, 07 Jul 2016 02:03:40 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=545 Potentially unwanted programs can be a real headache since they slow down performance, hamper productivity and add annoying toolbars and pop ups too.

People who have had to deal with this often avoid downloading free programs but this isn’t really necessary.

All you have to do is carefully avoid the traps that are present in the program’s installation wizard.

For this purpose, let’s consider the program, All Free ISO Ripper, which contains every dirty trick that potentially unwanted programs use for installation on your system.

While creators of this program have even turned off the “Add a Desktop Icon” in the second page of the installation wizard, this is the best you are going to get.

On the next page, if you pick the Standard Installation, and which is recommended, you will install the AVG Toolbar as a result. So, the first thing to keep in mind when installing PUPs, never pick the Standard, Default or Recommended Installation but pick the Custom Installation options instead.

In the case of the All Free ISO Ripper, the options to install the AVG Toolbar is already checked when you select “Custom Installation”. Of course, it’s wise to uncheck those options before you move to the next page.

Speaking of which, the next page leads you to pick between an ‘Express Installation’ and ‘Custom Installation’ of PureLeads – yet another program that you don’t want to install.

Once you pick the Custom Installation and uncheck the option that gets you to install PureLeads.

Apart from this, the program also invites you to install “Cause of the Day Reminder” as well as “PC Utilities Pro: Optimizer Pro”, which you should avoid.

Finally, the terms of condition that they ask you to read is also tagged with another PUP program, and which you should avoid as well.

]]> What You Need to Know About Multiple Desktops and the Workspace Switcher http://globalworldtechnology.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-multiple-desktops-and-the-workspace-switcher/ Tue, 08 Mar 2016 00:19:54 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=617 Article written by MobaProject, Mobile phone news and reviews

photo 00_lead_image_virtual_desktops_zpsyci1qopt.png

A wonderful feature of Linux has been the use of virtual (and multiple) desktops. This is something that Windows users have never had the privilege of using for some time now.

Of course, with this feature being added to Windows as well, it’s surprising to see that it is being removed from a number of Linux distributions.

So, here how you can activate it for your use, if you consider it necessary:

Firstly, you have to look for the Workplace Switcher, which is a series of grid or rectangles, and that aren’t enabled by default.

In Ubuntu, you would do this by going to All Settings>Appearance>Behavior and select the checkbox titled ‘Enable workspaces’. After you exit, you’ll find the Workspace Switcher on Unity’s dock.

This can also be done in the Cinnamon, KDE and Gnome version of Linux Mint as well but you’ll have to look through the Menus to find out how to add this feature if it isn’t enabled already.

When it comes to using the workplace switcher, clicking on it will give you an excellent overview of the workspaces and the applications open in each workspace. In other traditional desktops, this feature will just allow you to click between desktops.

All of them will allow you to drag and drop windows or even select which workspace to move the application to in a drop-down menu. Of course, there are additional mouse actions and keyboard shortcuts that can be used to carry out tasks in the Workplace Switcher.

In that sense, you can use different windows of the Workplace Switcher for different applications pertaining to work or fun.

]]> Hiring IT Support http://globalworldtechnology.org/hiring-it-support/ Tue, 19 Jan 2016 01:24:55 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=472 Just because you run a small to medium sized business, doesn’t mean you can’t hang with the big dogs when it comes to an IT department. Hiring an in-house person may kill your revenue, so consider hiring a contractor that can help you remotely or can come in whenever you need them.

If you’re based in metropolitan area, there should be plenty of options for IT support people. This is a remote position, after all, and you probably won’t need them in the office often.

To narrow the list of candidates, however, you will want to speak with them in person. So do your due diligence by looking for companies that provide the exact services you need and can offer you only those. You don’t want to end up paying for services you just don’t need.

Look for companies that support businesses your size. If your hire a great group, but they’re used to businesses much smaller than yours, mistakes will happen and it could wind up costing you money or customers.

Lastly, when you speak with your candidates, try to get a sense for how it will be to work with them. When you have an IT emergency, there won’t be time for anything but solutions, so you’ll want a group of people you have good rapport with.
