30 NOVEMBER 2020 CHRISTMAS IN THE CAPITAL — AN ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE IN Get the best gaming experience with a PC
With gaming becoming one of the fastest growing industry’s this year, what’s it all about and why should you jump in over the festive period?
Gaming has been around for a long time. Back in the 1980s, Nintendo and Sega dominated the retail shelves with iconic characters such as Mario and Sonic. In the ’90s, a new platform started to take shape and gain serious traction in the gaming world — PC gaming. Bringing with it a completely new type of experience for the consumer, it allowed them to upgrade and change out compo- nents to make their rigs better and more powerful as games and soft- ware became more demanding rather than having to wait a few years for the next console release. Console gaming has been the
bread and butter for a lot of gamers for decades, but with ever-increasing demand and limited stock this season, it looks like a lot of customers will be turning to PC gaming to get onboard with the next generation gaming experience. AlphaSync gaming is a PC
pre-build manufacturer, meaning it crafts and builds PCs to the custom- er’s personal taste or hits a price point the user is really aiming for when on a budget.
AlphaSync RTX 3080 Core i7 10th Gen 16GB RAM 2TB HDD 500GB SSD Gaming Desktop PC. Price: £1,799.99 Te pictured AlphaSync pre-build is an example of a friendly price point that will allow users to jump straight into next-gen gaming. Tis means they’ll be playing games in 4k, browsing the web and possibly streaming to the world at the same time with the latest 10th Gen Intel i7-10700k CPU not even breaking a sweat. With the latest Nvidia GPU, the RTX 3080, paired with the included 500GB SSD and 2TB HDD, the user’s experience will be flaw- less and enjoyable. Whether you’re a gamer, streamer, content creator,
editor or animator, this is worlds above even current console gaming. For students and users that move
between locations a lot, getting a desktop PC is something that isn’t possible. Luckily
enough, there’s
another option: the gaming laptop. With a laptop ,you get all the features of a gaming PC while having the included keyboard, trackpad and monitor. If you intend to game, all you have to do is hook up a mouse
(included trackpads won’t cut it for the most experienced gamers) and you’re getting straight into your first match of Activision’s Warzone. Razer is one of
the best-known
laptop and peripheral manufactures in the world. It creates stylish and sleek-looking laptops with a beau- tiful high-grade CNC design, while providing cutting-edge performance at a price point that wont hit your bank balance too hard.

Razer Blade Stealth 13 Core i7 16GB 512GB SSD GTX 1650Ti MaxQ 13.3-inch Win10 Home Gaming Laptop 120hz. Price: £999.99 Te pictured Razer Blade Stealth is a true testament to the beauty that Razer creates. Te 13.3-inch screen runs at 120hz, meaning the user will get butter-smooth game- play powered by the onboard Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650Ti 4GB GPU. Tis component works in synergy with the quad core Intel Core i7-1065G7 CPU to provide the user with a desktop grade experience, but packed into a lightweight laptop. Te I/O (inputs/outputs) featured will allow the customer to have a gaming headset, mouse and phone on charge, so there’s no need to buy a USB expansion device either. Laptops only bring one downside:
thermals. As the unit is small, it can get hot fast. Tis means the compo- nents won’t run at their maximum capability unless they’re cooled. So, be aware the internal fans will crank up, which is
something to think
about before purchasing. Gaming is fast becoming the most
favoured platform for entertainment. Whether you’re a gaming veteran from the old school DOOM days or a new young Fortnite player that watches Ninja on Twitch dreaming of being a streamer, PC gaming is becoming a powerhouse that can’t be ignored. It brings with it a sense of community and friendship, all while keeping your mind sharp and reac- tion speeds on point. If you choose to purchase a console, desktop PC or laptop, one thing is for sure, you’re going to have a great Christmas.
