    In love with the 7D but I guess my infatuation with a DSLR has to wait. Broke from paying all the loans (am still paying).

    Tried my hands at the Canon 500D, as well as the Canon 50D. Picts and write ups on the way!

    I’m pretty much thrilled when I bought myself the HP Mini Studio Tord Boontje. From the box to the actual product, it’s a beauty. I just had to do a pictorial unboxing :

    Having played with the Y650, the Y450 is not a stranger to me, in terms of the functionalities. The Y450 is the 14-inch sibling to the 16-inch Y650. But yet it spots a different patten on the cover.

    See the patterns in the photo? It’s not printed on it, but embossed on it. I like.

    The VAIO W is all packed up and ready to be returned. I will miss it, after having quite a lot of fun with it.

    Well, the results for “Make me the W Ambassador” is out. I didn’t win. But that’s ok. I am not sure who won, but congratulations to the winners anyway. :)

    However, a big THANK YOU goes out to all whom have help voted for me during the 2 weeks of competition. Appreciate it very much.

    It has been a great joy to use, and Sony VAIO W has definitely won my heart in terms of aesthetics…

    This comes super duper late. But better late than never! :)

    Lenovo Thinkpad X200 is one of the smallest and light laptop that can withstand shock, as well as being water resistant. I totally enjoyed using the X200, and this is coming from a first time Thinkpad user. :)

    Got myself the Samsung Jet. :)

    Am very happy with the purchase, and yes, I’ve reviewed the Jet before. Read it here if you have missed it. I would say that the Jet is so far so good. :D

    This review will be one of the longest review I have written thus far, and I hope you all will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing this review.

    “Smarter than a Smartphone” was the tagline for the Samsung Jet. It sure isn’t a smartphone, but then, the Samsung Jet handles tasks so beautifully, that I marvel at it for being speedy, responsive and user-friendly.

    I shall spare you the specifications, for you can read them up here. My apologies that the pictures may not turn out beautifully, for I shot it in haste, and it’s a glossy surface, making it harder for me to capture its design brilliance.

    More after the jump!

    Can’t find words to describe this camera. The Canon EOS 500D. Within minutes of trying it, I was hooked. Of course, I don’t have the shots with me to post it here.

    I love the ease of handling and the form factor is awfully great for the ease of gripping the camera and steadying it. A plus point would be the weight of the 500D is quite light, allowing less strain on the arms.

    Of course, I shall not say more, but do stick around for Gear65’s coverage of the Canon EOS 500D. Stay tuned.

    If you happen to look around for a new monitor for the upcoming PC Show, listen up and listen clear… :P Cos I’m going to share with you an e-coupon that will entitle you, to a $20 Takashimaya Voucher when you purchase the Samsung Lapfit LCD Monitor. Plus, get your friends to purchase the Samsung Lapfit LCD Monitor and get additional discount off.


    (Click the image to print the actual size version)

    Download this e-coupon and print. Present it at the PC Show to enjoy the offer. (Valid till the last day of PC Show).

    The Samsung Lapfit LCD Monitor has 2 model variations, namely the LD190G and the LD220G. The specifications are as follows respectively here, and here.

    At the PC Show, both the LD190G and the LD220G will be available at a promotional price of $229 and $309, respectively. The current pricing is of $239 and $339 respectively.

    I’m currently giving the Samsung Lapfit LCD Monitor a try, and I happen to have gotten hold of the LD190G thanks to Daniel Goh of Samsung.

    I fixed it up with my laptop, and extended my viewing range.

    Setting up and Installation of the Lapfit is easy, and by following the easy to read instructions, I got my Lapfit up and running within 30 mins, from unboxing to driver installation.

    What impressed me were the colors and display, which turn out vibrant and pleasing to the eye. And yes, putting it side by side gives a harmonious displays, which is another bonus. But in this case, I didn’t mind putting it at an angle.

    These are my first impressions of the Samsung Lapfit Monitor. I will be doing a detailed write-up on it real soon. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as I can. :)

    Nicole

    PS: Feel free to pass on the link to the e-coupon to your friends, and let’s spread some shopping cheer :)

    I used the USB cable to connect the Lapfit to my laptop, but you can also opt to use the Analog cable, which frees up one of the USB ports.
