NVIDIA’s announcement of the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 video cards has a lot of folks excited, and I’ve responded to several questions over the last few days regarding these cards. In an effort to help a wider audience who probably have similar questions, I’ve put together a summary of what we know at this point about these upcoming graphics cards.
In order to double check the accuracy of Noctua’s Cpu cooler product we put its specifications to the test. This will explain CPU coolers and what we found.
Video overview of the standard cases used for Puget Systems computers, as of early 2016. Narrated by William.
How quickly a computer boots up doesn’t always correspond to how much processing power the system has, or how fast the system drive is. This blog talks a little about what contributes to both faster and slower boot times, with a video comparison.
A little over a year ago, I wrote an article titled, “What I Wish I Had Known” that included specific feedback customers shared with me shortly after taking delivery of a new Puget Systems computer. Since that time I’ve talked to hundreds, if not thousands of customers, who have passed along more feedback that might be valuable to those who are configuring or considering a new computer.
With that in mind, here are a few more items our customers would change, if they could go back in time:
The batteries in our Puget Traverse Pro are lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

Over the years I have worked here, our laptop line has changed a lot. We’ve had massive gaming-oriented models with 19-inch screens, tiny 12-inch models for the ultra-portable market, and everything in-between. We even had a touchscreen model for a while, since lots of people asked about that tech… and then it sold only a handful of units. We have just launched another update to our laptops, though, and I wanted to talk for a moment about our direction and goals.
Computer games often have varying hardware needs – some are more graphically demanding, others need a more powerful CPU, and some need a mix of both. Such requirements often follow the type or genre which games fit into, and this blog post looks at those common genre-based needs to help gamers figure out what sort of computer hardware will best match their playstyle.
