Laptop Info Today

Archive for March, 2008

Its been quite a while since I post anything directly related to laptops, pardon me ya’ all.

It’s also been quite sometime since I post my laptop essential series since the first being the in-built webcam and the second one being the in-built wireless adapter (or wifi).

Today I will be talking about another essential element that can be found in today’s laptops : The Bluetooth technology.

I remember back then, when bluetooth technology just kicked off, people are packing IT shops getting the craze item at the time; the bluetooth wireless adapter for laptops and mind you it’s not cheap.

Now why a laptop with bluetooth technology is essential.

I was browsing the all of the broadcasts that were sent to me from BlogCatalog.com on my e-mail today (on my trusted Lenovo laptop) when I bumped into another contest organized by one the popular bloggers online: Collin De Ruyck from feedflare.ca aka konvictCollin at BlogCatalog.com.

I’ve checked it out and I say to myself “Why not give it a shot.”

His contest terms and conditions for the contest are pretty simple actually

1. You need to subscribe to his RSS feed via e-mail.
2. You need to write a post with 2 links directed back to Feedflare.ca (as you can see in this posts I have a couple already )

And that’s it.

The contest will end on April 1^st so you might want to rush down your entries for the contest.

You might want to check out his site to know more RSS and social marketing and that is at feedflare.ca.

Well I have not been online at BlogCatalog.com for a while, and boy, have things changed.

I have got a lot of new friends being added lately and some new faces dropping by, not to mention some familiar ones too.

One familiar blogger that has been visiting my Laptop Info Today blog has been Petr Hotovec with a nickntame “Hoto” at BlogCatalog.

His site (which I browsed via my laptop) ThaGuru.com is holding a contest which pays you $25, provided you are the winner. What you have to do is just write a post about this contest to enter.

As you can see, I’m entering this contest as well and you better hurry because this contest will end on the 30th April 2008.

Post him the link of your exact url at his comment page here to notify him (Petr Hotovec) that you are entering his contest.

All of this work can be done with the convenience of your laptop so what are you waiting for ……

I feel very wired this week, my blog “Laptop Info Today” has been hit by numerous spam comments from almost any hour of the day.

Actually I did not want to let go this post, but what the hell.

It’s been quite hectic, an average of 5 spam comments have hit this blog everyday for the past week.

Spam comments is nothing new to the Web 2.0 community and I was lucky enough to install akismet plugin before it really hit me bad.

Anybody facing this experience ….  drop me a comment ( and pls no spam )

First of all, I have to have my laptop to thank for relieving my stress today.

Hey, why not?

I was entirely busy at work, got hardly to sit down for even 10 minutes even (hard to handle so many PC jobs and requests).

Entirely bad day, not really.

I was scrolling around you tube and bumped back to one of my favorite tracks back in tose days.

Well, don’t ask me what it means ….. I’m quite nuts about the lyrics but the tune relieves my aching stress headaches fast…..

I enjoy this video very much(till now even) ….. and I hope you will too.

Gosh …. how I still miss those days.

If you might noticed , I’ve not been blogging for a week or so and I think you guys might be wondering (I guess )

Anyway I am currently been busy working on my new e-book, which is schedule to be completed by end of this month and personally I am very exhausted to say the least.

The e-book ( just a sneak preview to all) is entitled “Windows Vista : The Unpublished”.

In this e-book, of course, I’ll be talking about Windows Vista and how to overcome the necessary hiccups that is plaguing Windows Vista users worldwide.

I’ll be giving you tips, tricks and tweaks on how you can get started with Windows Vista easily.

Plus bonus uncovered secrets and materials that could keep you off your toes even .

Well, there are still a lot of things to prepare and I shall keep you guys updated soon.

This is no mean of me being vulgar or rude to anyone.

For those of you who might still feel lost on what I mean, “F” is actually means format in the PC world.

Yeah ….. its the kill word alright, every users nightmare.

For me, it is a very normal thing.

If you guys were to read up my previous posts on my laptop linux experience (part 1 & part 2), it was the same laptop that I have decided to format.

Well not really though.

I had 2 working colleagues of mine who wanted to get themselves a personal laptop and need me to be their adviser. ( I feel like a V.I.P somehow)

Anyway I’ve been going through the lists of brochures from all the booths ….. and boy it’s hard to make a decision, mind you.

Normally I will narrow down to 3 models based the value-for-money criteria due to the fact my friends aren’t gamers and they are basically getting a new notebook for surfing for office work purposes.

I had to bring my 3 year old son along on that day which were packed with enthusiastic buyers gunning for the bargain items on display. Then after much research I had recommended both my friends the NEC E6300 notebook.

Check out the specs below:-

Intel Centrino Duo CPU processing at 2.0GHz, 160GB of Hard disk space, 3GB Ram (after free upgrade), 2.0 megapixels in-built webcam, Bluetooth and Wireless (G) networking built-in, interactive touchpad & hotkeys, DVD-Dual Layer built in and it comes with Windows Vista Home Premium operating system.

Well the shock part is, this 14.1 inch notebook that weighs about 2.38kg cost about SGD$1499.

And that’s not all, apart from its white-leathery finishing on the back of the LCD, it comes together with freebies such as cleaning kit, an optical mouse, a NEC laptop bag and a free one-year subscription of Norman anti-virus.

I’m pleased that my friends were happy on that day, and why not they got a steal of a deal!

My son and I also enjoy the atmosphere very much on that day ….. and it’s been quite an experience.
