I didn’t realize that the brand ZMI is one of Xiaomi’s ecosystem company.
ZMi supplies Xiaomi with power banks, batteries, and chargers.
I got my nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter from Amazon for US$9.99 (S$14).
It qualifies for AmazonGlobal Saver which gets you free shipping to Singapore if your order is above US$125.
I was looking for a USB-C Ethernet adapter and came across the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter which retails for S$49 in Apple Stores and Anker USB-C Aluminum Portable Gigabit Ethernet Port Network Adapter which retails for US$22.99 (S$32) on Amazon.
I find that the Belkin Ethernet adapter is overpriced and if you want to get the Anker Ethernet adapter, you might as well top up a little more to get the Anker USB-C to 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Ethernet Adapter.
The Klipsch Reference X12i was launched in Singapore on November 2015 and the recommended retail price is S$599.
The X12i is the successor to the X11i which was launched in August 2013, and the X11i was the successor to the X10i which was launched in January 2010.
If you are looking to use a USB-C to USB-Cable to charge your USB-C MacBook Pro, your USB-C power adapter and USB-C cable need to support USB Power Delivery.
The Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB-C Cable is retailing for US$15.99 (S$23) and is available in 3ft (0.9m).
It is tough to find a USB-C to DisplayPort Cable or USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter. I have not found any physical stores in Singapore selling it yet. Instead, you have to get it from online stores like Lazada or Amazon.
For USB-C to DisplayPort cable, I bought mine from Amazon as there are more choices to choose from.
The Satechi Aluminum USB-C Multi-Port Adapter is retailing for US$89.99 (S$125).
I bought it together with the Satechi Aluminum USB-C Micro/SD Card Reader.
I was looking for a USB-C micro/SD card reader and chanced upon SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS-II Card USB-C Reader on the Apple Store and it retails for S$75.
It is very expensive and can only read SD card.
Last week, I went to Sapporo, Japan, and while I was doing some gadgets shopping there, I chanced upon the Elecom iPad Pro 10.5″ Clear Back Cover at Yodobashi Multimedia Sapporo Store.
It is retailing for ¥3,110 (¥2,880 before tax), but if you spend more than ¥5,000, it is tax-free. On top of that, if you pay by VISA credit card, you get an additional 5% discount.
The Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ is my fourth iPad.
My first iPad was the iPad back in 2010, followed by iPad 2 in 2011 and finally iPad Air in 2013.
