Computers for SCIO

Mainstream Value Notebooks usually compensate for having a slower CPU and lack of graphics memory by marketing their laptops with a high amount of System Memory (RAM) - which is only 1 of the factors that give your computer the speed it really needs. We prefer to build computers with more "matched" components. Don't be a victim of Marketing! Investigate what you are purchasing because you really want your computer to keep up with the software changes for 3 to 5 years in the future. The notebooks you will see below are not "Value Notebooks", they are Gaming Notebooks. Which basically means our designs are built for the most strenuous tasks in Computerland....Gaming! For those of you who aren't playing games with your notebooks, it just means that you are going to get higher performance than you would from a normal "mainstream" computer. North American automotive manufacturers build automobiles that will go over 140 MPH when they know that the speed limits are usually 70 MPH....have you ever wondered why they do that? You may not always need it, but when you do, isn't it nice to know it's there? Think about that for a few minutes, and you'll understand why we build our computers with nVidia Discrete Graphics, faster memory, faster hard drives, and Dual Core i5 and Quad Core i7 Intel Processors. It's all about "Quality & Performance".

Our new Series of Notebooks start with Full HD High Resolution screens and Optimus Hybrid Graphics. Currently we only build two models with Dual Core CPU's and 1333MHz Memory because we needed to provide a quality model at a lower price for the people with minimal budget concerns. For the rest, we spiced up our line with DDR3 1600MHz memory all the way up to 32GB....yes that's right, 32GB RAM in a Notebook Computer! We have also added a few additional hard drive options including top of the line OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS Solid State Drives. Let's not forget the engine that makes them run! We use the new 3rd generation of Intel® Core™ products, starting with the i7-3610 at 2.3 ~ 3.3GHz with 6MB of Smart Cache. Technology has sure come a long way in just a few years. Welcome to 2012!!

For the SCIO (or EPFX) System (Clasp32 software), we suggest that you start with the current minimum optional specifications:

  • CPU: Minimum of Intel Core i5 or Core i7 CPU ~ we prefer using the QUAD Core i7 processor. There are Dual and Quad Core i5 & i7 CPU's, watch the specifications carefully so you know exactly what you are getting.
  • Memory: Minimum of 4GB DDR3 for Windows 7 Systems,
  • Hard Drive: Minimum of 120GB 7200rpm hard drive ~ we suggest always allowing a minimum of 20% free space on your Hard Drive. Most computer manufacturers are using a minimum of 320GB Hard drives currently, however should you decide to use a Solid State drive for a faster and more reliable hard drive, be sure to select a minimum capacity of 120GB and go for the SATA III as it gives you a lot more speed. We personally like the OCZ Vertex 3 Max Iops or Vertex 4 series SSD drives because they have very high speeds and they seem to be extremely reliable.
  • Graphics: Minimum of 512mb Dedicated or Discrete Graphics ~ on board or integrated graphics are not recommended.
  • Screen Resolution: Current screen technology offers two resolutions. 1920 x 1080 Full HD is the recommended option. Standard HD resolution of 1366 x 768 also 1600 x 900 is not adequate for the Clasp32 software. Currently the Clasp32 software has scroll bars in almost every panel of the program, however there are still a few areas that are not visible when using screen resolutions that are less than 1280 x 1024. Please contact your distributor for verification of which panels will be affected by this issue.
  • Operating System: We are currently recommending Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Operating Systems for Clasp32 Software. The Professional and Ultimate versions of Windows 7 are fine as well, but not necessary. Windows 8 has not been fully tested at this time.
  • Internet Access: Internet access is required for the current and future versions of Clasp32 software because the software is now updated via and internet update tool. Technical support is now mostly done through remote internet connections to your computer. Most computers now come with 2 or 3 devices to connect to the internet (LAN, WLAN and RJ11) however you still need the internet access to connect them. Most people are using a DSL connection through a telephone company or a Cable network through the local cable television company. There are many other options through cellular phone companies and sattellite TV etc. Dial-Up internet access is not recommended at all.
  • Virus Protection: We recommend using either SST Antivirus (our own branded Anti-virus software),Norman Security Suite or Kaspersky Anti Virus 2010 software (not Kaspersky Security Suite). There are other Virus Protections softwares that work well, however these are the ones that we recommend because we feel they are the best Virus Protection softwares on the market today. We suggest that you consult your device distributor before making decisions on other virus protection software. We do offer SST Antivirus or Norman Security Suite as an option on all of our computers or as a standalone product if you just need the software. Kaspersky AntiVirus can be purchased directly from kaspersky.com...however just make sure you purchase the correct software package.
