I have been trying out the Singtel Smart Car for more than a month and no, this is not a sponsored post.

This service uses Modus to track your car location, trips, driving habits and monitor your vehicle’s health.

Amazon Prime Now is now available in Singapore. Amazon Prime Now offers household items and essentials you need every day plus some of the best selling items on Amazon.

Usually Amazon Prime Now requires a membership subscription. But for the launch of Amazon Prime Now in Singapore, you can give it a go without membership for a limited period of time.

Bought two Elecom USB-C to USB-C Power Delivery Cable from Yodobashi Multimedia Sapporo Store.

After buying it, I realized both cables are from different series although they look the same. I have no idea what are the differences. According to Benson Leung the USB3-CC5P support USB Power Delivery up to 100W (5A) while USB3-CCP supports USB Power Delivery of up to 60W (3A).

Bought the Leplus USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Adapter from Yodobashi Multimedia Sapporo Store.

Leplus is a brand by MSSolutions Japan. Since it is a relatively unknown brand, the price is cheaper as well.

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).
