Amazon was having a 30% discount on the Nexus Player two weeks ago. I contemplated for a few days because I am not sure if I need it but in the end I still decided to get it because I am a sucker for new gadgets.

I got it on Amazon for US$67.68 (S$93) back on 29th June 2015. Since it does not ship to Singapore directly, I shipped it to my favourite freight forwarder, HopShopGo, and got them to ship to me once they received the parcel. I paid US$19.64 (S$27) for the shipping from HopSHopGo to Singapore via DHL Express.

Previously, I was using StrongVPN on their StrongVPN Special PPTP which I paid US$55/year (S$75/year).

After my one year contract with them ended, I didn’t renew it because I felt that their server switch quota is kinda limiting though I have never hit the limit before. Server switch basically allows you to switch to different VPN servers.

The Mophie Apple Watch Dock is retailing for S$79 at EpiCentre at ION Orchard, iStudio at Paragon, Nubox at Raffles City, and Nubox at Tampines Mall. However, this product is currently out of stock in Singapore as a result of overwhelming demand. So I suggest you call up those stores to reserve one if you are interested in getting it. I hope eventually it will be available online at Apple Online Store (Singapore).

The Mophie Apple Watch Dock is the best Apple Watch stand/dock available in Singapore. I have the Spigen Apple Watch Stand S330 and played with the Griffin WatchStand, and I still prefer the Mophie Apple Watch Dock.

Logitech will now be known as Logi, dropping the word “tech”. The Logi label will appear in Logitech’s new product categories.

The name Logitech still remains as the official company name and on core Logitech products like it’s PC peripherals and gaming gears.

Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac was released back in October 2010 and now, almost 5 years later, we finally have a new office for Mac.

Bought the Apple Watch 42mm Milanese Loop strap for S$218 from Apple Online Store (Singapore) because the 42mm Milanese Loop is sold out at all authorised Apple Resellers.

Placed my order last Thursday, 2nd July 2015 and I received it this Tuesday, 7th July 2015, despite it saying it ships within 5-7 business days.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV will be available in Singapore from 16th July 2015 for S$1,399. It is the successor to the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III which was released last year in June 2014.

Despite it being a successor, the megapixel count and optical zoom range remains the same: 20.1MP and 2.9x respectively.

The Spigen Apple Watch Stand S330 is retailing for S$49 in Nubox. It is one of the few Apple Watch Stand available in Singapore.

I was deciding between this and the Griffin WatchStand, both retailing for the same price.

Bought the Apple Watch 42mm Black Sport Band together with the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable when I was on holidays in the UK.

The 42mm Sport Band is retailing for £39 (S$83) in the UK before tax refund. In Singapore, it is retailing for S$78.
