New Dell Latitude D620 Laptop

cyza — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:22:01 +0000

My HP Compact was purchased end of 2006 using my adsense money. I used it for work and blogging business until in late 2008. After that, I used my white Toshiba laptop. I let my kids used the HP compact laptop for games or for online education (which rarely happens!). After a while the HP Compact laptop shows some problematic sign. It began to have problems. After several times of repairing work, it cannot be saved anymore. There’s no need to repair the laptop for the 3rd time. So, I declare that my HP Compact laptop officially retire.

In order to replace HP Compact laptop, I have been searching for a decent second hand laptop to be used at home for the kids. After months of searching, finally one advertisement in Mudah caught my interest.

This is how it looked like:

=================

The ad above attracted me. I think the specs are fine and the price looks reasonable as well.

I called the guy and to make things short, we went to his house, inspected the laptop and I decided to purchase it. I got the laptop which is still in great condition (almost like new) for RM680. Nothing is wrong with this new second hand laptop of mine accept for the weight. It is definitely the heaviest laptop I have so far. But since, the Dell laptop is intended to stay put at home, the weight factor is not a big issue.

In actual, the speed of this Dell Latitude D620 is 2.00GHz and not 1.86GHz. The hard disc is 100GB and not 80GB. I think this was an awesome purchase. I got a good laptop for the use of my kids at a good price. No need to buy a new laptop which cause more than RM1000.

However, I’m not sure if my decision to purchase this Dell laptop resulted in my White Toshiba laptop to sulk. Perhaps… I don’t know. I don’t have at all the intention to replace my white Toshiba laptop with this second hand Dell laptop.

Since I have to send my White Toshiba laptop for repair, I’ll be using this Dell laptop temporary until the display of the White Toshiba laptop is recovered. I need to install several important softwares tomorrow.

This is the actual photo that I just took for this blogpost. I transfered to this Dell laptop using bluetooth (as usual). Next to it is my new mouse.

That’s all folks for now. Catch you later…

Canon Pixma MP287 is My New 3-in-1 Printer

cyza — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 16:59:18 +0000

As mentioned yesterday, I managed to squeezed in some time to get myself a brand new 3-in-1 printer after lunch. It’s the new Canon Pixma MP287. The initial model that I plan to purchase, Canon Pixma MP258 is already obsolete @ not produce anymore. The original price of a new set of Canon Pixma MP287 is RM189 using the original set of canon ink. However, I feel that my kids maybe using this printer more often. So, I opted for a set of Canon Pixma MP287 that come with the continuous ink system supplier (CISS) at the side of the printer body.

The price of this set is RM240 that come with a 1 month shop warranty. If I opt for the original printer come with original ink the warranty will be one year. For your info, this is not the wonder printer that I target as the top 5 gadget I want to get in 2012. This printer is just for home use on top of the Canon monochrome laser printer that I already own 2 years ago. That 3 in 1 laser colour printer is still in my wish list for this year.

This is my new 3 in 1 printer - Canon Pixma MP287. The un-boxing was done in my office

That's the printer. It's quite difficult to remove it from the box because the printer has been modified with a Continuous Ink System Supplier (CISS).

This is before I tried the printer out. I just open and check here and there...

So, what do you think of the new printer…?

My New USB Multimedia Speaker + USB Optical Mouse

cyza — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:02:18 +0000

Yesterday was the last day of PC Fair in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), the place where I’m struggling like crazy with my Ph.D (Chemical Engineering). Luckily after lunch, we (me and my other half) stopped by at the PC Fair venue. I was actually searching some stuffs. My old USB wired optical mouse is unhealthy. The mouse right click button cannot be used. I also need a new speaker for my PC at my office. So, it’s time for some spending – budget spending . I’m not the type of guy who spends money on branded items. I always search for the lowest price and I don’t give a damn on the brand. As long as the items, gadgets or equipments can be used, I will opt for it. In certain cases only I will consider the brand (mainly because I want quality items).

I needed a pair of speaker for the set of PC in my office at my workplace. Hence, I purchased this simple, small but powerful speaker. I'm very happy for this purchase and I think it's cute. The cost of it is RM25 (USD8.33).

This is the box containing the USB optical mouse that I just purchased. It's cheap. Originally the price tag for it is - RM10 for 2 optical mouse. But then, since I also purchased the multimedia speaker, the sales person let me have one mouse for RM5 (USD$1.6). No brand but it works perfectly nice for me...

I fixed the new USB optical mouse and also the new Multimedia speaker to my white toshiba laptop and it works perfectly beautiful...aha...

Nokia Lumia 800 Review

Nokia Lumia 800 Review

The world is moving at a very fast pace. Technology is developing even faster. The generation today is that of the smart phones or tablets. Everything is quicker faster better now. I’m not sure if I’m too late to make a Nokia Lumia 800 review, but I’ll still take the chance. This is mainly because I have personally tested the brand new nokia smart phone which has such a sleek and cool design. I tested the smart phone capability while I was doing my shopping in Jusco Taman University. Honestly I was skeptical with Nokia Lumia 800 and I strongly believe that it could not be at par with Androids and the iPhones in the market. However, to my surprise, I discovered that Nokia Lumia 800 which opted the Windows technology have a very impressive and outstanding browsing capability. Carry on reading for more of my personal review of Nokia Lumia 800.

The Emergence of Nokia Lumia 800 Proves Nokia Is A Serious Contender

Nokia joins in the race with its Nokia Lumia 800. Nokia Lumia 800 is Nokia’s first ever Windows mobile. Operating on Windows 7.5 as its operating system, it has been tested and concluded to be the best mobile phone, operating on the Windows, available in the market.

The Windows operating system is popular among the users of the notebook because of its plainness and simplicity of use. Nokia incorporates all these features in Nokia Lumia 800, bringing the simplicity of the Microsoft OS to its users at their finger tips.

The touch is already a feature adored by many. Nokia incorporates these touch screens in its Nokia Lumia 800, providing its users fast and easy navigation through the cell phone to its users. But Nokia is not one for taking things, which are popular and putting them together. It adds a little tweaks of its own. It introduces Nokia Drive, which is the first free navigation service, provided on a Windows phone, so that you’re never lost.

For all the music lovers out there, Nokia brings to you the ease of access to music. The Nokia Lumia 800 introduces the feature of Nokia Music. The Nokia Music, along with the dedicated radio stations to provide you with the music of different genres that you are sure to enjoy.

Nokia Lumia 800 Unique design and display

Nokia Lumia 800 also come in this bright beautiful blue colour

If my wife wants it, I will give her a red Nokia Lumia 800...

Nokia Lumia 800 camera

A good camera in the Smartphone is like the demand of everyone. Everyone wants to capture a scene to preserve it, take a picture to capture a special moment. Everyone sends a picture to a friend or a family member to show them the places they have seen. And what with the social networks such as Facebook and Twitter becoming the medium for connection, one would want to share their pictures to their friends to let them know where they’ve been. The videos allow you to capture not just a scene, but an entire moment that you can watch repeatedly. With Nokia Lumia 800, you can do all that with an 8 Megapixel camera, with an auto focus and a dual-LED flash. However, don’t let the fun stop at just taking the picture. Upload it, share it on your friends well, tag a friend, it’s all up to you to decide.

With the new Nokia Lumia 800, everything looks bright and vivid. The display features the ClearBlack OLED screen making it look very striking and pulling the focus towards itself. The display looks quite amazing under the somewhat curved Gorilla glass. The screen of the Nokia Lumia 800, stretching from one edge to the other, lets you see what you’re typing, even under bright sunlight, so that you don’t end up poking, prodding and guessing what you’re typing.

The sleek and stylish Nokia Lumia 800 sits pretty in your hand with its swappable covers and slight curve, giving it the neat aesthetic design that you’d want in your Smartphone.

My 2 cents: Initially I have no feeling nor desire for this smartphone. However, after personally testing it, I kind of like it. To make it more special, the internet + youtube streaming is so fast, even faster than iphone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S2. No kidding about this. I tested all these smart phone and that’s why I dare to mention this. I may not purchase it for my personal use but if my wife want this, I’ll get it for her.

G shock watches are very popular among those who work in hard environments for the last 30 years. Now, with the same idea to satisfy the needs of hardships, the Casio brings “G shock Phone”. The interesting thing about this phone is that it is not traditionally black rectangle. Rather it is a thing which is made according to the fingers grip and wrist. The phone seems to be running on android as Casio showed it in CES 2012.

The phone comes with rubber bumper around its edges and a metal back plate. Phone is designed to survive a 10 feet drop. Isn’t it pretty inspiring?

Interesting looking smart phone. Looks tough and strong. Not like the other typical phones.

Casio G Shock Smart Phone Concept

The phone has been built or it is just a concept yet? This is hard to say but the upcoming few weeks might bring some more information about this. There is not much information available about the features of the phone, but following are some features that are said to be in it:

jolt resistant is up to 10 feet
1.0 bar (10m) is the resistance to water

You can now really imagine about the more upcoming features of this Casio G Shock Android Phone by keeping the above mentioned features in mind that how it will be. This Casio G Shock android phone is really a shock. It’s similar to a brand new watch if seen closely. There is black or you can say a thick frame which is surrounded by the phone, securing the phone from any kind of damage.

Following the rugged G’zOne Commando is yet another tough-as-nails smartphone from Casio for those who like to go out in the rough and don’t want to worry about damaging their phones. The G-Shock shock phone carries the signature design of the watches by placing all the buttons on the sides near the corners. The display is surrounded by a thick frame, which would prevent any damage even if it falls flat on a surface. The back looks even more impressive, with a stylish metal case back and exposed screws (refer photo above). Casio has even engraved some emergency numbers on the back.

One more interesting thing which you would like to know about it that a list of emergency numbers is placed at the back of the Casio G Shock android phone for your help. Its amazing look and wonderful features can help it to get the popularity in the market as well as among the users.

We are not sure regarding the hardware specs of the device at the moment. Also, even on the software front, all we know is that it will be running Android. I’ll update about this when there are some info about it.

My 3 cent: I’m wearing G-Shock Riseman wrist watch, but that doesn’t mean I’ll use G Shock Phone. But, I still think this piece of equipment is special, unique and must have gadget for those working in fierce tough environment.
