Digit-Life described as “A couple of years ago there started to appear notebooks that seemed to violate the concept of mobile personal computers at first glance. Large dimensions, weight, and a short battery life are not favorable to real mobile work. Come to think of it, there are different types of mobility, and computers can be used not only for work, but also for entertainment. So, the appearance of notebooks with a wide 20″ panel weighing over eight kilograms is just an evolution of the concept of a multimedia notebook.
Indeed, the real [not personal] multimedia implies a large screen, so a notebook won’t be small. An important peculiarity of modern video materials is high requirements to CPU performance. A gaming model must also possess a fast video card. Add a large volume of memory and RAID with two hard drives. ”
