Samsung Galaxy TAB A 9.7' SM-T550 WI-FI 16GB

Product Information

Once again, throwing more money at Lenovo will result in a better series, which is not what you sign up for. The device is solid – it will save itself when you throw a glass of water on top of it, but it would be good to have fewer options (and more stuff coming by default). The GA106 chip offers 3,840 FP32 ALUs of which half can also execute INT32 instructions (i.e. 1,920 INT32 ALUs). With Turing all shaders could still execute FP32 or INT32 instructions. The raytracing and tensor cores on the chip were also improved according to Nvidia. The Ampere chips also include an improved 5th generation video encoder (NVENC for H.264 and H.265) and a 7th generation decoder (for various formatsnow including AV1). To make it even more puzzling, our model says that it uses magnesium on its bottom panel. Anyway, the laptop has a profile of nearly 18mm and weighs 1.24 kilos, which is fantastic for a mobile workstation. It is pretty strong too, with almost no flex from either the lid or the base. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 is a fast desktop graphics card. It is based on the GA106 Amperechip and offers 12 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with a 192 Bit memory bus. It offers 3,584 cores and supports PCIe 4.0. Are you willing to pay a premium for a 14-inch mobile workstation? In a world, where 16-inch devices are getting more and more common. Well, this all depends on your workload and personal preference. The ThinkPad P14s Gen 3 can’t be considered the most powerful laptop out there. It cripples its CPU to make room for the graphics card.

The raw performance should be slower than the GeForce RTX 3050 for laptopsat the same TGP level. Both GPUs depend heavily on good cooling and a high TGP for good performance. At a similar power consumption level the RTX A500 should be clearly faster than the old T500and T550. There is no more Max-Q variant (formerly used for the low power variants) but every OEM can choose to implement Max-Q technologies (Dynamic Boost, WhisperMode). The GA107 chip offers 2.560 FP32 ALUs of which half can also execute INT32 instructions (i.e. 1,280 INT32 ALUs). With Ampere all shaders could still execute FP32 or INT32 instructions. The raytracing and tensor cores on the chip were also improved according to Nvidia. The A500 can only use 2048 CUDA cores. The Ampere chips also include an improved 5th generation video encoder (NVENC for H.264 and H.265) and a 7th generation decoder (for various formatsnow including AV1).Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light. Gloss level measurement Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro.

In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.In addition, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 3’s display options are so many, that we have to write a separate article explaining all you can get. Instead, we’re going to tell you about the base option, and the top-tier level. Well, the former sports a 1200p resolution, and that’s pretty much it, while the latter features a super high 2400p resolution, HDR 400 support, Pantone factory-calibrated colors, and more. Both of them are IPS panels by the way. If you are into this stuff, you should know the T550. However, if you are not acquaintanced with workstations, you will be thinking “what the hell is this?”. Not only has the TimeTools product performed as advertised but it is also cost-effective. Outstanding customer support. What more could anyone want?”
