Got the Logitech Notebook Riser N110 from Challenger VivoCity for S$37 for office use. It raises my MacBook Pro so the screen can sit beside my future monitor for dual screens, and meanwhile gives me a nicely elevated viewing angle.
Ordered a 21.5-inch 3.06GHz iMac for my dad, to replace his old computer. I'd meant to order two, the second for my mom's office, but she had doubts about Mac OS X and software compatibility.
Apple has refreshed the iMac, Mac Mini and MacBook, and added the Magic Mouse. The iMac now offers bright 21.5-inch or 27-inch LED displays, Core i5 or i7 chips, and a wireless keyboard, priced from S$1,788 up to S$2,988.
Most netbooks share similar specs: an Atom N280, Intel GMA 950 graphics and a 10-inch screen, so I choose on battery life and looks. The Sony VAIO W VPCW115XG comes in three colours and won me over on style.
Nokia has jumped on the netbook bandwagon, though I've no idea why it calls the Booklet 3G a mini-laptop; for me, any Atom-powered laptop is a netbook. The specs look delicious: a 10-inch screen, 3G, A-GPS and just 1.25kg.
My mom ordered four Dell Vostro 220 Mini Tower desktops last week. Three arrived on Tuesday and one on Wednesday, when I went over to help set them up. I managed to get the three Tuesday units running first.
Acer's new Aspire Timeline series marks a new era in mobile computing, keeping users connected and entertained on their notebooks far longer. Acer says it has struck a delicate balance between lightness and battery life across the lineup.
I was invited to an Intel and Dell Swarm event at Geek Terminal yesterday. Dell Swarm is a clever idea from Dell Singapore, making Singapore the first country to launch it, around 5th May 2009.
Apple has refreshed the Mac Mini, iMac and Mac Pro. The Mac Mini now packs an Intel Core 2 Duo and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics, starting at S$988 for the 2.0GHz, 120GB model, with a 320GB option also available.
Derrick invited me to the first Lenovo Blogger Night at 7atenine in the Esplanade Mall. The food and drinks were good, with no big crowd, around 20 of us, roughly half bloggers and the rest from Text 100.
I received my Apple MacBook Pro 2.53GHz yesterday via TNT, after ordering from the Apple Store on 16th October 2008. TNT offered only two delivery slots: office hours from 9am to 6pm, or night delivery from 7pm to 10pm.
Apple has refreshed the MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. The 15-inch Pro now starts at S$3,188 with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR3 and dual NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT graphics.
We bought an Asus F8Sg laptop from South Asia Computer at Funan for my dad. He's been using a friend's laptop to Skype us, limited by timing. With wireless internet in his apartment, this should free him up nicely.
After five long years, the day finally came to buy a new computer. As always I went to Fuwell; across family and work, we've bought at least five computers from them. On to my new Q9450's specs.
Apple iPod Touch 8GB for S$498, or Asus Eee 4G for S$598? Two very different gadgets at a similar price, one a sleek media player, the other a tiny netbook. Any suggestions or comments to help me decide?
Apple has refreshed the Mac Mini at its summer Mac press conference, introduced a new iMac, now only 20 and 24 inches with a slimmer design, and a redesigned slimmer keyboard. The Mac Mini starts at S$1,048.
We all saw the multi-touch system on YouTube, but wait until you see the Microsoft Surface video; it took my breath away. The launch of Microsoft Surface marks the beginning of an entirely new category of surface computing.
