Windows 11 Pro
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro is designed for business professionals and streamlining productivity. Starting with navigation, your essential apps and files are accessible from a variety of intuitive points including the navigation center, an updated Start menu, and your taskbar. Meeting controls and file sharing can be managed directly from the taskbar, use Snap Groups to arrange and revisit frequently used apps. Easily manage your cloud storage, syncing, and updates as Windows 11 works much like the Windows 10 environment you already know. Of course security is a top priority for every business and professional, Windows 11 Pro integrates hardware and software technologies like data encryption, malware protection, and isolation techniques to ensure everything stays secure, even on remote PCs.
Solid State Drive
More reliable and significantly faster than traditional spinning-platter hardrives, solid state drives work more like a large flash drive giving you quick access to your data. With no moving parts generating heat, solid state drives use less power and keep your system cooler which helps reduce component failure. Light weight and durable, solid state drives are often found in portable devices since they are less prone to travel damage and accidents like being dropped.
DDR5 RAM
As with most upgrades, the transition from DDR4 to DDR5 is about improving performance. This is a major enhancement in that it enables four times the capacity, up to 512GB DIMM and the ability of its predecessor, DDR4, which maxed at 128GB DIMM.
DDR form factors designate what they are used for. The DIMM form factor is used in desktop systems while the SO-DIMM form factor is used for laptops and all-in-one computers because of its slim profile.
Double Data Rate, which is the DDR in DDR5, tells us something about the rate of data transfer in a given type of memory. DDR5 also offers a much greater range of frequencies, sometimes called bandwidth, compared to DDR4. This translates to faster data transfer rates with DDR5; more than 80 percent faster according to some reports. It also requires less energy so it is more power efficient. The more capacity and the faster the speed, the better your memory is able to keep up with today's multi-core processors.
The first number, as in DDR5, tells us the generation of the memory. DDR4 was the previous generation, DDR5 is the current generation. The second numeric value as in DDR5-4800, DDR5-5200, or DDR4-1600, or DDR4-2666 is the speed. Memory type and speed must be matched to the requirements of your computer.
