Thanks to Samsung for the invite to Samsung Galaxy Note 4 World Tour 2014 Singapore last Wednesday! Got a chance to play around with Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy Gear S and Galaxy Gear VR.

Personally, I feel that both the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge have awesome build quality and the screen is superb. As usual, the only thing I don’t like about them is the amount of bloatware apps inside the phone.

Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series
The Inspiron 13 7000 Series is a 2-in-1 device. The device runs on Windows 8.1 and features a built-in passive stylus and a 360-degree rotating hinge allowing consumers to switch seamlessly between laptop and tablet in one fluid motion.

The Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series starts from S$999 from dell.com.sg.

Thanks to Fitbit, I will be giving out two Fitbit Flexs worth S$129 to two lucky winners.

The two lucky winners will be able to choose their own color for their Fitbit Flex. You will be getting the actual Fitbit Flex tracker with your preferred Fitbit Flex color wristband accessory and not just the wristband accessory.
