I am being seeded the Synology DiskStation DS413j alongside with 3x WD Red 1TB hard disk drives for a 3 part review. For the first part, I will talk about the unboxing and setting up of the DS413j.
Since I only have 3x WD Red 1TB and the DS413j is a 4-bay NAS, I went to Sim Lim Square to get another WD Red 1TB so as not to let 1 of the bay goes to waste. I didn’t realized that WD Red 1TB is a pretty old HDD and most of the stores carry 2TB onwards. Luckily Bizgram still has some WD Red 1TB left. So I bought it for S$120.
For the first part review of the Dell XPS 12, I talked about Unboxing and Design and in this second part review, I will talk about the features and functionality.
Ports – Right Side
Let’s start with the ports available on the Dell XPS 12. All of the ports of the Dell XPS 12 are located on the right side of the ultrabook except for the headphone/microphone combo port.
This year’s Norton Cybercrime Report 2012 revealed a trend towards new forms of cybercrime, such as those on social networks or mobile devices. Here’s a cool infographic that highlights this increasing trend:
With cybercriminals increasingly taking advantage of the popularity of these platforms, it might be a good idea for you to take some steps towards protecting your valuable data and personal information on your mobile devices.
Disclaimer: I am being seeded with the Dell XPS 12 for a 3 part review. For the first part, I will talk about the unboxing and design of the Dell XPS 12.
The Dell XPS 12 was announced back in 30th August 2012 at IFA 2012. Currently the base model is retailing for S$1,828. If you intend to get it from Dell Online Store, you might need to wait for 20 working days due to overwhelming demand.
Western Digital is entering into the router market with the launch of 3 routers and 2 routers with built-in storage. These routers are priced pretty competitively!
I will be reviewing the My Net N900 which is retailing for S$239.
Cubby: Coat-hook + Storage Unit is a Kickstarter project that got funded middle of this year on the 6th May 2012. They raise a total of US$53,707 despite the initial goal is only US$29,000.
When you backed the project, you can get Cubby for US$19 (S$23.20) and international shipping is an additional US$8 (S$9.76).
Just a reminder, we are giving away the Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headset (worth S$249) thanks to Logitech. This giveaway ends on 11:59pm (23:59), Monday, 29th October 2012 (GMT+8 Singapore Time).
To particiate, all you have to do is the following:
I am not really an audiophile, but I can hear the sound difference between headsets. I don’t own much headsets as I prefer earphones. The only headset I got is the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset by Monster which is retailing for S$298. The Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headset on the other hand is retailing for S$249 which is slightly cheaper.
To me, the sound on the Logitech G930 beats the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset. The sound produced on the Logitech G930 is sharper, clearer and have better bass quality (which is important to me), while of course the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset looks aesthetically nicer.
