USB 3.0 is apparently going to be ten times faster than USB 2.0 .The USB 3.0 works at a super speed exchanging data of speed up to 4.8 Gbps truly much greater when compared to USB 2.0. Another advantage is its ability to receive and send data at the same time, which was not present in the previous versions. One doesn’t have to worry if your device doesn’t support USB 3.0 as it’s sure to work on it at the lower, but supported speed.
The new version of USB connectors gives many options for adaptation. A speed of up to 4.8 Gbps is sufficient for HD video as well as audio signal broadcast working efficiently unlike USB 2.0 version where in the speed is limited to external devices like the portable HDDs or external optical drives. The cable seems to be a little thick, which might be reasonable for such a huge increase in speed.

There has been no dearth of good gaming laptops and Ben Heck’s PS3 Laptop stands as a witness to this fact. However, certain people choose to spend long durations and precious energy in modifying classic products and end up with something that is, well, not so great. PS3HaX modder “Pirate” undertook a 3-month project, which led to the modded PS3 laptop that certainly disappointed many gaming fans. However, Pirate’s PS3 laptop is good in a way because his laptop’s LED lit window is not only attractive but also functional.

In the next model, he is going to improvise the laptop and hopefully we will see a better PS3 laptop that is not just functional but will also bring in new features and a better design. If a cell phone and a touch screen are added to the next model, it would just do great. Our opinion is that it is not such a great product, but when trying to model your product on bigwigs, you just have to make sure, yours turns out better. One could definitely look forward to Pirate’s next generation PS3 laptop.
