If it is true, 2:1 mode before it seems that NVIDIA still felt in better balance between power consumption and temperature.

Others still are 1536 stream processors, matching 2GB GDDR5 memory, video memory bandwidth 256bit, frequency 1502MHz (equivalent to 6008MHz), over HD 7,970 5500MHz in one fell swoop. Also alleged that GTX 680 calculation of capacity of 4.3TFlops, around 13.5% 3.79TFlops faster than HD 7,970, 3Dcenter GK104 posted the site performance has also been broadly confirmed this view.

Of score comparison chart below reflects a total of four indicators respectively from left to right, texture fill video memory bandwidth, ROP performance as well as computing performance. First three GTX 680 are no match for HD 7,970, backward and HD video memory bandwidth, and ROP performance 7,950, performance and HD 7,950 flat texture fill. However, computing performance, eye-catching, leading HD 7,970 per cent or so . Of course, these four parameters are individual properties, does not represent a comprehensive performance.

For years, industry pundits often refer to “Apple tax” is a name, this means that the user buy Mac computers often have to pay higher fees. A large number of users are trying to compare all the functional advantages of Mac computers, to convince myself why spend a higher price to buy Mac computers. Now, outside of this price drop a Mac Mini computer, still exist, however, in the Tablet market, this is not the case.

Apple’s iPad in the Tablet market to occupy a dominant position. In initially of iPad to market of 1 years zhihou, carrying Android operating system of flat computer also have launched, and on iPad constitute has threat, these products including Motorola Xoom,, the products of 3G version non-contract price for 799 $, and only WiFi function of price is for 599 $, and equal Flash of iPad price is, but, Motorola in low-end products area and no competitiveness, Because it has not launched and the 16GB size of the iPad the same price of the product, that is, not the Tablet for $ 499.

Apple’s price advantage

Apple was able to set the price of the iPad at $ 499, mainly because the “tax” Apple from the beginning of the iPad prices very low (of course still be able to profit), making it difficult for competitors surpass Apple in this regard.

Another reason is because Apple Apple iPad pricing low “monopsony (buyer’s exclusive monopoly means there is only one of many buyers and sellers market type, it is corresponds to the monopoly)”. According to the associated press bite·siwensen (Peter Svensson) explained that easy between Apple and component suppliers, and even signed a two-year period up to billions of dollars worth of contracts. According to reports, Apple held last year had more cash to United States Federal Government, so it is able to provide a large amount of funds to purchase components, and get a discount, and this advantage is Apple’s competitors do not have. According to CNN’s news that Apple may even buy some element in the global supply.

Finally, Apple’s App Store and iTunes store makes the iPad more than other Tablet market attractiveness, and the user after you buy the iPad, not elsewhere to seek the appropriate application. For years, Apple has been engaged in the digital content business, and rivals such as Samsung and Motorola also need to rely on Google to provide similar service with no experience.

Tablet competition from manufacturers of road

Motorola Xoom Tablet eventually lowered the price of US $ 299, a move designed to sold out the backlog of inventory the company. Of course more than Motorola, in fact, RIM sales PlayBook tablet at $ 199 discount price, and the price of this tablet is set at US $ 499, and even to the application developer to provide this free product. At the same time, HP also announced last year to give up Tablet PC hardware business, and sold at a very low price of $ 99 for the TouchPad of the backlog inventory.

In the Tablet market, sold two of softer to work with the iPad tablet computer is Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes Nook Tablet Fire. Both tablets have two things in common: it is the prices are very low, only $ 199; the second is, the two companies of the tablets are sold by companies with their own digital content stores. In addition, both the screen size is smaller than the iPad tablet computer. However, users of both shops have purchased most of the book, you can also read through the appropriate application of the iPad.

Google’s three sons of Galaxy Nexus,720p high resolution, and regular mobile phones is in default settings, following the action to do, mainly for some love toss, eye of good friends.

Look at the end result:

Desktop:

Cross-screen desktop:

Settings page:

Application cross-screen interface:

galaxy nexus tablet mode screenshot : App

Start:

After the ROOT, only requires two software:LCD Density Modder and Apex Launcher:Google Play, free of charge. About restart 2 times.

Steps are as follows:

Galxy Nexus 1, liberation of 720p high score screen advantage:

Install the LCD Density Modder, startup, set the resolution, after the restart to take effect.

galaxy nexus tablet mode screenshot : LCD Density Modder

Values are as follows:

320dpi, this is the Galaxy Nexus default value;

Recommendations can be set to 240dpi or 241dpi (241dpi is the deformation may occur because some desktop widgets in the 240dpi), usually have enough;

Screenshot of this article is the set of 200dpi, may also be partial;

At this point the screen has enough space, but too many obvious white around the desktop, they started to do next;

2, fill the frame such as extended desktop, Galaxy Nexus really started to Tablet mode Tablet Mode:

Download Apex Launcher, a fantastic free Launcher, function is not lost on Nova Launcher.

After the installation, set to the default Launcher, entered under its software interface “desktop settings” section of the “vertical-screen grid” and “cross-screen grid” on-demand is set to “7×7″ or “7×6″ (in the case of 240dpi, proposed as 7×6; if smaller, proposed for 7×7).

Specifically , due to permissions Apex Launcher not installed as system software, you cannot directly in the “widgets” drag the parts to your desktop, you need to manually move the apex in the data/app directory to the system/app directory.

You’re done, allowed further adjusting itself to the set. Tried it now remains in the 200dpi, but 210dpi might be more appropriate, under the 210dpi, even though I have large hands, buttons are not wrong.

240dpi should suit most of the power is the most critical point, however small, and free up enough space.

3, connect the mouse to the keyboard, easy feeling for temporary PC alternatives:

Finally, because the Galaxy has the support of the Nexus itself OTG (On-The-Go), so as long as a OTG cable (that is, a cell phone, is a USB connector), plug in receiver of wireless key mouse, you can fully experience the thrill of normal mouse + keyboard input.

GN after receiving the keys on rat mouse (mouse left and downwards “Jinshan phone guardian” widget displays “available memory” in the white box to the right):

galaxy nexus tablet mode screenshot : Mouse & Keyboard

Should all the input method, after you connect external keyboard automatically from a conventional analog keyboards or the handwriting mode, automatically reduce to an external keyboard input mode, similar effects on the PC, what English input method interface without direct transmission, Chinese input only two rows, row displays pinyin, line displays the characters that match.

Is important to note, we are already familiar with switch mode, on the Android, how changing English in small adjustments are as follows:

From the PC’s CTRL + space, becomes:shift + space.

In addition, few places to wheel action on the PC, may be wheel on the GN is not valid, but by holding down the left mouse button drag the way of realization.

In General, the higher accuracy of the mouse, can directly manipulate Galaxy Nexus virtual buttons.

Switzerland “solar-driven” 28th solar-powered aircraft, the project team issued a communique saying, this solar-powered aircraft program in May or June this year from Switzerland took off across 2,500 km arrived in Morocco, during which aircraft will not be a drop of fuel, completely rely on solar-powered.

Boershibeige say, aircraft selection in Morocco due to distance and time of landing “Sun driver”, as required by project, is ready to fly the best training.

“Solar-driven” project sponsor beitelang·pikaer made in 2003, solar-powered aircraft fly concept plan driving new design aircraft, landing 5 times to achieve global fly day and night. They design and manufacture of the aeroplane wingspan 63.4 metres, and Airbus A340 aircraft, and at only 1600 kilograms. 12,000 solar panels installed on aircraft wings. When flying during the day, excess solar electric power reserves can be to the high-performance batteries for night flight.

After years of development, this aircraft has created a number of records. On April 7, 2010 after the first flight, “solar-driven” in July 2010, becoming the first rely entirely on solar energy for 24-hour continuous manned aircraft to fly.
