Nokia has jumped onto the netbook bandwagon. I have no idea why it calls it a mini-laptop. For me, I classify all laptops that is powered by Atom processor a netbook. Initial specification looks delicious featuring 10″ glass screen, 3G connectivity, A-GPS and it only weights 1.25kg. To add, it is powered by Microsoft Windows.
Lets hope Singapore gets this!

I ordered my Fabrix Cases for my MacBook Pro last Sunday and it got delivered to me on Wednesday via post. It is not by courier but a normal mail post (S$1.50 stamp). I am also wondering how the postman manage to squeeze the laptop sleeve into my letter box.
I ordered the Delux Laptop Cases and I chose Black Suite as the design. It cost S$59.90 and you can pay by Paypal. Delivery is free if it is within Singapore.
Received my Apple MacBook Pro 2.53GHz yesterday from TNT after ordering it from Apple Store on the 16th October 2008. Apparently TNT only has 2 time slot for me to choose for the delivery which is during office hours (9am till 6pm) or night delivery (7pm to 10pm).

We bought a Asus F8Sg laptop from South Asia Computer at Funan for my dad.
At the moment, he is using his friend’s laptop to Skype with us and hence he is constrain by the timing and duration of each Skype call. Since there is wireless Internet in his apartment and even better still the wireless access point is installed in his room. We think it would be better to have his own laptop and hence we got 1 for him.
Just thought of blogging this last night before I went to bed.
Did you all actually count how many monitors, televisions and computers are there in your household?
