This months issue of Windows Middle East was all about dreams
for me thanks to two features in particular. Our yearly Dream
Machine feature (read it on page 12) sees the team and I dreaming
up the most potent PC possible and then, after a few arguments, a
lot of fluid and a healthy amount of sleep, sourcing the parts we
dreamed up, so we could turn Dream Machine 2011 into a reality.
This years Dream Machine is easily our best yet. With a processor
that will happily run 24/7 at 4.44GHz, a massive amount of system
memory, an insanely potent graphics card along with numerous other
components that comprise Dream Machine 2011, theres absolutely
nothing that will stand in this machines way. So, if youre dreaming
about gaming at resolutions such as 2,560 x 1,600 pixels or
creating your own home-made HD video productions, you should read
the feature to find out what makes Dream Machine 2011 tick. You
also stand a chance to win this beast of a machine. The second
feature that provoked my subconscious was the massive smartphone
grouptest, which you can find on page 48. The team and I looked at
no less than 12 smartphones and while there was literally something
for everyone, I couldnt help but wander off and dream up my own,
ideal phone. First and foremost my dream smartphone would offer no
less than one day of battery life, even if you used the smartphones
most battery-intensive features such as WiFi or 720p video capture.
My dream phone would also have to offer a potent processor and GPU,
so that I could watch 1080p Full HD videos without having to resort
to converting the original content into a format thats phone
friendly. My dream smartphone would also have to offer a high
quality 4-inch IPS-based capacitive screen with a resolution of at
least 1,024 x 768 pixels. The screen would also have to offer a
maximum brightness specification of no less than 800nits, so that
its display would be easily visible even in the brightest most
harsh Dubai sunlight. The phone would also have to be, for all
intents and purposes, virtually indestructible: drop-proof,
water-proof and temperature-proof. My dream device would therefore
have to offer a frame and body that would not only protect the
internal components from damage but would also be able to walk away
from accidents without suffering those annoying scratches and scuff
marks. Id also want my smartphone to have full near field
communications (NFC) support, so that I could use it to interact
with smart objects and to make purchases using electronic money. If
youve got any thoughts on your dream smartphone or your very own
dream PC, do drop me a line.
