Gaming NewsBy Chris Aug 8, 2019Comments

You don’t have to be a hardcore gamer to know that gaming has greatly changed over the years. Not only has gaming as an industry changed, but the platforms in which people are gaming has greatly changed. Just look at the number of people that are now using their smartphones and tablets to game online as opposed to consoles and PCs. That being said, looking for a convertible laptop that can handle heavy-duty gaming is a bit like expecting your bike to be a suitable means of transportation on the highway. You might get there, but you won't get there in style or on time.

What Are Convertible Tablets

The first thing you need to understand is what constitutes for a convertible tablet. People have different definitions, but for all intents and purposes, this article will be referring to devices that turn, twist, or flip. Any device where the keyboard can be detached or covered by the display should be considered a convertible tablet. Now, that you understand what constitutes a convertible tablet it will be time to look at the specific requirements that you will need these devices to possess in order to game with them.

The Processor

If you are going to be gaming with your new tablet it will be imperative to opt for one that offers at least an i5 CPU. Just keep in mind that the i7 will perform better, but you can get away with an i5 for the most part. That being said, even with the i7, you will more than likely encounter problems. For instance, most tablets like this are designed with battery life in mind. This means that the batteries are usually bulky, leaving little room or effort contributed to the CPU.

Solid State Drives

Sold State Drivers really aren’t a huge deal when it comes to gaming performance. This is especially true if you are playing games on sbobet. It doesn’t matter how good your processor is there are always going to be some buffering times when you are loading new maps or areas. An SSD really won’t have much impact on this, but there are other areas where an SSD can help out. SSDs are less likely to be damaged in the event that they are dropped. Along with this, they are silent, cool, and more than power efficient.

When you combine this with the fact thatSSDs can later be upgraded it should be more than easy to understand why you want to opt for a convertible tablet that offers one.

The GPU Or Video Cards

If you opt for the i7, you probably won’t have much to worry about because most of these processors come equipped with the latest GPUs or video cards. The only problem with these convertible tablets is that it can usually be hard to find one that supports a dedicated GPU specifically for gaming. This has to do with the fact that DPUs need a dedicated cooling system. Not only this, but they are detrimental to battery life, which is one of the main focuses of the convertible tablets.
