That might make it a little bit of a surprise then that the LG UltraGear gaming laptop comes out swinging. Complete with beefy specs that will entice anyone looking for a powerful machine that goes just as hard with its portability. The LG UltraGear 17G90Q is designed like the company’s other Gram laptops. Particularly the most recent Gram 17. So, it’s thin and fairly light, but it’s also packed with enough power to run today’s most demanding games at high settings....

With the decline of reach on both Facebook and Instagram, I have started to focus my energy into LinkedIn. When I decide to do something I usually research the best practices and methods first, create a plan, and then get down to business.

What’s interesting, though, is that while the leader board hasn’t really changed, the numbers have. Last year, 39% of all photos uploaded to Flickr were shot with a smartphone. This year, that number has jumped to 48%. Both DSLRs and point & shoots have dropped, although mirrorless cameras have remained at a stable 3%....
