【 Weak current College 】 notebook workstation and what is the difference between ordinary notebook?

Speaking of workstation notebook, you probably also not particularly understand, in fact, in its discretion, workstation notebook should be regarded as a branch of commercial notebook. But the workstation notebook designed but not entirely equivalent to high-end business notebook workstation notebook uses a completely different professional machine graphics and a variety of special technology, a workstation notebook and ordinary business notebook is not exactly the same.

Usually we say that the workstation is a performance of a PC, it is usually equipped with a high-resolution large-screen display and large-capacity and high-speed memory, has a strong information processing power and pleasure of video and image processing capabilities. In the Centrino platform has not yet been published in those days because notebook graphics feature limitations, so that it cannot complete a number of areas such as large 3D graphics design, high-load work. With the Centrino platform and Mobile Edition video card performance gradually enhanced, notebook either processor performance or realistic performance, etc, can all be comparable with the desktop and notebook inherent portability, small footprint, lower power consumption and other features, the following desktop domain appears after the workstation notebook also appeared in the corresponding field of the product, including the ThinkPad, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and other first-line brand, have launched the workstation notebook.

1. processor differences

Because graphics workstation performance is needed particularly high, workstation notebook processors are based on the same time most high-speed and high-frequency products, such as a graphics workstation T61P now use core2T9xxx series processor

2. the difference between the graphics system

Generally use more than 1440 * 1050 high-resolution screen, there are professional QUADROFX FireGLVxxx system or video card. In the workstation installation professional graphics and General graphics with great distinction. First, professional graphics and video with a different emphasis. The main objective of the common graphics is very well run various OpenGL and Direct3D game in full-screen performance rendering of 3D graphics, its principal pursuit game running fluency, instead of the precision and complexity of the model. The main purpose of professional graphics cards is high precision and display a variety of complex, large-scale 3D model, and the need to display complex wireframe model, in a number of DCC and CAD/CAM applications, geometry and lighting treatment demands are high. Different features focused on making professional graphics and General graphics hardware design is completely different. Secondly, the ordinary video card driver while also supports OpenGL, but it only supports game software commonly used OpenGL subset. Professional video because of the need to run a professional application software, so it must support OpenGL complete works. This difference makes many upscale ordinary video card running specialized software-time performance was not high.

3. storage system also vary greatly

With the rapid development of the hardware, the computer system processor, memory, speed significantly improves, final system bottlenecks that landed in the storage system, workstation application of high speed storage interface and disk speed upgrade, on the overall performance of a workstation is self-evident. Mainstream books are colored with 4200rpm or 5400rpm hard drive speed, workstation-class notebook had already used a 7200rpm hard drive

4. high-performance battery

In order to improve the battery endurance, workstation-class notebook mostly with 9-cell battery, and ordinary books in General is a four-or six-cell battery

5. operating system differences

In order to move up the work of the high station systems generally use Business Edition or Professional Edition operating systems such as vista Business Edition or flagship Edition, windowsxp is a professional version, but over the same period of the ordinary books are mostly used in Home Edition system
