Video conferencing apps review
During these Covid times, more people than ever have had the need for videoconferencing. Videoconferencing is interaction between two or more people using camera and video. While conferencing using only audio is possible, in this review the apps must have the video feature. These are the most common apps from my experience. It is necessary to have a laptop and a network connection. People then communicate using internet. Sometimes people connect to the internet using phone. While there are many Voice over IP, these require a number and are often paid service.
Skype
Skype is one of the best and by far most iconic videoconferencing app. It is one of the oldest. Originally it was a peer to peer calling app. Users could find each other using Skype username and call. After some time, the video call feature appeared. But Skype is so old, that it was started when no web cameras were available and the internet rate was unthinkable. Skype is most likely the oldest voice communication application. Becoming the leader, it was bought by Windows corporation.Now it is integrated with Skype for Business, formerly Lync. Recognizing its superiority, Skype for business is basically rebranded Skype.
The video quality is good and voice is clear. It has also Echo test service. The reliability is one of the best. It is possible to use the online version, the Desktop version, Android version and Linux version.

New Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Review

New Dell Vostro 5000 series
Thursday, February 9, 2017
Dell Inspiron 15 5578 Review
Specifications
Display
In factory default setting, the display's DeltaE 2000 color difference is 4.94 - not bad. Manufacturers should strive for a difference of less than 3. The screen does not suffer from a blue cast.
The combination of a solid-state disk and powerfuld processor produce a fast system. The Inspiron's good score in the PC Mark benchmark demonstrates strong overall performance. The computer also achieved good scores when we ran more demeanding applications than simple office and internet-related programs. A slight improvement in the device's overall performance would be possible if the user were to install a second RAM module - then the active dual-channel mode would increase the system's graphics performance.

- Dell Wireless 1820 Card (802.11AC Dual-Band Wi-Fi + BT 4.2), 2x2
- Intel WiFi Link 8265 Card (802.11ac + BT 4.2)
Visual Appearance
m5520 is rated as the best looking portable PC from all mobile workstation and best build quality. The case is made of hard plastic that will look good over time and will not wear over time. The shape of the rectangle (perimeter) is quite straight – the angles are rather straight. The bottom of the perimeter has a bit more rounded angle of the rectangle, but the angle of the rectangle is quite straight which is rather good. The increase from bottom in the area of the angle is low pitched which will mean that it is comfortable to hold and easy to position to surface.Price
Starting at $1399, this is an affordable price for market's segment. The price $1399 is in the U.S. Users will get a customized mobile workstation from a trusted manufacturer. The price is applicable with the i5-7440HQ CPU, which is quite good. Also, m5520 comes with a discount. There would be $599.57 instant savings for this product. It is possible to save additional 70 bucks by getting the configuration with i5-7300HQ CPU which is sligy less, but similar characteristics actually.The resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels on the 15.6-inch screen is suitable for the majority of applications. The sharpness is satisfying, and you can easily ignore a scaled view for symbols and fonts, so scaling issues are no problem, either. It is interesting that Dell selects a scaling factor of 125% by default. We recommend 100% and therefore the native setting. The optional 4K screen could be a nice option for professional graphics designer in particular who need a good representation of the AdobeRGB08 gamut – when the measurements of the previous version also apply for the new model. Programmers and professional users in the office sector (large data series in Excel, ...) could also benefit from the high resolution since texts stay sharp even at very small font sizes. We can notice backlight bleeding in the peripheral areas on dark contents and dark environments. However, this was no problem during everyday tasks.
Battery
The battery cannot be accessed from the outside and there are no maintenance hatches, either. You can only gain access to the components when you remove the whole bottom panel, but more on that later.Connectivity. Ports.
There are four standard USB ports, and three of them support the fast 3.0 standard. That there is one USB 2.0 port is no problem in our opinion, because both sides have a fast connector. A modern USB Type-C port, however, is not available. The transfer rates of the USB ports are just mediocre at around 200 MB/s; our external Samsung SSD T3 would support higher speeds (>400 MB/s). Video output is either possible via HDMI (4K @30 Hz) or the slightly outdated VGA port. There is also an SD-card reader as well as a fold-out Gigabit Ethernet jack. Dell does not offer a SmartCard reader or a docking port, so you will have to use USB docking stations.The new m5520 mobile workstation is the world’s thinnest, lightest, smallest 15" mobile workstation, combines stylish outlook and performance, features outstanding selection of Central Processing Units and Wireless adapters.
