Games Emulation

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.

  1. Can it run Internet Explorer? O.o

  2. I think the minimum specs required to run IE was with a Titan Z (and/or the AMD equivalent). Don’t quote me, I could be wrong.

  3. Don’t mind those people on fb carl or anyone of you from KG who’s reading, they are still kind of immature they don’t understand the meaning of Desktop Replacements may be cause they are not caught up in a tight schedule or just need power on the move and have access to pc when they need em.
    it’s a cool portable system right here designed for those who need em.
    it’s all about what you need where and when you need it and something that can fulfill that.
    I love desktops but these gaming laptops aren’t that far behind.
