PC and consolegames today are highly advanced in all respects, be it the storyline, content, graphics or thekind of hardware they use. That said, playing the newest games requires one to be equippedwith top-of-the-line hardware, starting from gaming consoles to keyboards and mice. It is ahuge market not only in India but all over the world, and here’s what it has to offerhas for long been betweenSony Playstation (PS) andMicrosoft Xbox, the SteamMachine threatens bothof these in a way that hasnever been done before.The other option is the Nin-tendo Wii, which is more ofa motion-driven gamingoption.The rule of thumbin this segment is to buythe newest version availablein the market. But there is asmall window after the launch of a newconsole, when you can still buy the old-er model. For example, both Microsoftand Sony launched their Xbox One andPlaystation 4 consoles around Octoberlast year. So the window to buy the PS3and Xbox 360 is just about over now. Ittakes some time for a new console topick up speed and become the platformof choice for game makers, which iswhen you can buy the older version.But if you intend to buy a PS2 now, itwould be a mistake, to say the least.Also available in this segment arehandheld gaming consoles. These, inour opinion, make more sense for lessserious gamers. If you do not go pastthe ‘easy’ difficulty level on a game,but like to play it till the very end, youshould get one of these. You can playyour games on the go and it doublesup as a tool for listening to music andas a portable storage device as well.instead of assembling an entire PCunit. The portability factor plays ahuge role in this. The leading name inthis segment would be Alienware fromDell, but there are also other offeringsfrom Asus etc.Gaming laptops though are quitecostly, with price tags of`100,000 andabove. The units sold by Asus are some-what cheaper as compared to Alienware,but Alienware has for long been thename in the gaming segment. If you arebuying a gaming laptop, get ready tospend a bomb, because these are top-of-the-line devices that exude raw powerto give you the best gaming experience.On the other hand, a recreationalyet serious gamer (like those whospent money on every new game, butspend just enough time to finish thegame in the easy mode) could also gofor a top-of- the-line laptop like theDell XPS series. These aren’t meant forgaming, but they are powerful enoughto play many of the best games.GPrasid Banerjeeaming hardware covers awide array of items that gam-ers like to use to make theirexperience exhilarating. While themost common are gaming consoles,graphics cards and headsets, there is alot more to it. Contrary to what manythink, hardcore gamers still considerthe PC to be the king of gaming. Whileconsoles like Sony Playstation andMicrosoft Xbox have for long gainedimmense popularity in the market,it’s hard to overlook the raw powerof top-of-the-line graphics cards likethose sold by AMD and other giants inthis segment.Let us look at what all a gamerbuys. Even though it isn’t the undis-puted winner, a gaming console is stillan important piece of gaming equip-ment. Then there are graphics cards,headphones, mice and other things.Graphics cardsHere we enter the realm of hardcoregamers. A high-end graphics cardthat can support almost any gameisn’t available for chump change. ThenVidia GeForce GTX series, for exam-ple, can cost`20,000 and more. To putit in perspective, you can assemble alow-end PC for a little more than that.A serious and true gamer will notcompromise on this bit of hardwareand will spend lots on it. So, whetheryou choose a graphics card fromnVidia, AMD or anyone else, get readyto spend some big bucks on this. Whatyou are looking for is something thatsuits the kind of games you like to playwww.eFYmag.comGaming consolesWith open source giant Valve’s SteamMachines close to making an appear-ance, the console arena is now moreinteresting than ever. While the battle12June 2014 | electronics For YouLaptopsWhen we say that PC is still the kingof gaming, it includes the importantposition held by gaming laptops.
