The very first thing that would catch your attention when you are looking at Logitech G15 gaming keyboard is the big LCD display at the keyboard’s back.
There is a group of multimedia buttons just below the LCD to control your media player and sound volume. These are considered some of the standard selection of multimedia buttons.
The LCD itself displays info like calculator or as a thermometer. It will also turn itself into a LCD countdown timer like a stop watch or act as the display of an MP3 player.
The LCD POP3 shows the mailbox status, and the LCD Clocks shows clock, calendar or number of unread mails.
It can also be set to show CPU load and memory usage. Plugins can be installed to make the LCD function like a chat box.
If you don’t want to use the screen, you can just pull it down and it will fit into the keyboard nicely.
There is a button on the left that could disable the Windows-related buttons like the Windows buttons and the Context Menu button.
There are also 2 USB ports on the keyboard suitable for joysticks, mice, or a webcam.
There are 18 multimedia buttons on the left, numbered G1 to G18. The keys glow with a mild blue light once the keyboard is connected.
Most users think that the keyboard is nice to type with and only need minimal time to adjust to. The keyboard also processes correctly when you press several buttons at the same time.
The highlighting feature in the keyboard is a bit different compared to the others. Most of today’s highlighted keyboard uses see through material for their buttons.
But in Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard, the lights only highlight the alphabets on the keyboard. The symbols will be more visible in the dark.

Graphical user interfaces allow you to enter commands by pointing and clicking at objects that appear on the screen.
But that really doesn’t address the various ways that operating systems make your computer work easier and more efficiently.
Their specific capacities are what make them help your computer operate as a user-friendly device. Let’s look specifically at what an operating system does. Read the rest of this entry →
The processor or the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brain and the most important chip in the computer. CPU is where all the calculations take place.
Choosing which processor is better for your computer depends on your computer needs. Today, Intel and AMD are the two companies on the market that produce processors.
There are options you can consider when choosing a right computer processor:
Do I need a single or dual processor?
The single processor has only one chip that processes all the calculations and instructions while the dual processor has two chips that work together to do all the tasks.
Some people buy dual processor thinking that it can make their computer faster. The dual processor is best suited for graphic design, digital photography and video editing.
Unless the application you are using requires much of the system resources, you may opt to buy a dual processor. But some applications can still run faster at a single processor. Read the rest of this entry →
