BENCHMARK TESTS PROVE MICROSOFT SURFACE BOOK NOT TWICE AS FAST AS MACBOOK PRO

At the launch of its first laptop, Surface Book, Microsoft had claimed it to be a machine twice the speed of the 13-inch MacBook Pro. However, when benchmark tests were carried out by PCWorld and Geekbench 3, these claims were proved incorrect. In terms of CPU benchmarks, the Apple device was slightly faster than the Surface Book.

Having said that, it should also be noted that when it came to the graphic card, some models of the Surface Book are ahead of its Apple counterpart. Additionally, processing tasks that are shared with the GPU also were performed better by Microsoft laptops as compared to Macbook Pro. A reason for this could be the dedicated GPU of Surface Book as opposed to the integrated one of the 13-inch MacBook. But it is the costlier model of the Surface Book, costing around $1700 (about Rs. 1,10,000), which has a dedicated GPU. The one which costs as much as the 13-inch MacBook Pro at $1500 (about Rs. 98,000) is the base Model Surface Book which too has an integrated GPU.

Despite tall claims by Microsoft of its device’s doubled speed, the difference showed up only in a pure graphics test. When running Tomb Raider, the Surface Book achieved 74fps against the 23.6fps of the MacBook. But, once again, this can also be achieved by a GeForce graphics card. It would be interesting to see how the Surface Book fares against the MacBook Pro 15.

How to backup your PC before upgrading to Windows 10

While it's highly unlikely that anything will go wrong in the course of an upgrade, we'd still recommend being safe - a new install is a good excuse for a backup! If you're heading for a clean install or an upgrade, you'll want to make sure you don't lose anything valuable in the process. Safe data is data stored in three distinct places - its original location, and two geographically distinct copies. This means an additional partition isn't really going to cut it, given that it's the exact same physical location as the original data; you need to use a high-capacity external drive, and some kind of online cloud storage. Most free services - Dropbox, Google Drive and the like - only offer a limited amount of space, so only place your most critical files online if you're not willing to pay. Services such as Carbonite or CrashPlan, which generally charge a monthly subscription fee, offer a much more extensive range of backup options, and will general...

TOP 5 FEATURES OF ANDROID MARSHMALLOW

Android M Three days ago, Google announced the sweet its Android OS was named after; Marshmallow. Now that it’s out in the open, let’s take a look at 5 noteworthy features it has: 1. App Permissions : You’re the Boss This feature has gotten a makeover and Google will now allow users to take a call on which permissions they want to allow or revoke, based on the usage of these functions. Unlike right now, where you don’t have a choice but to agree to all app permissions on first install or updates, in Android M, you will get a notification asking you to allow an app to use a specific function. Google helps to give permission in parameters like, location, camera, contacts etc. So if you’re using WhatsApp and you want to send a voice message, the App Permissions tab will pop up, asking you for permission to use the microphone. You can also revoke the permission later if you so wish. This is exactly the way Apple handles it on iOS. 2. Better Web Exper...
