Grab some stuffs during the March IT Show 2010..
first stop – rush to grab this lightweight, “more reasonable” price, 13.3 inch Asus UL30V
Sort of disappointed with our VAIO notebook whose performance downgraded greatly after 3 years of use…(but initial its performance really quite outstanding one) so now feel that no point buy notebook which is so expensive liao…
My new laptop with my old desktop… yeah!
Spec as below:
has its RAM upgraded to 4GB for faster speed….:)
Same as the VAIO notebook, need to create own backup disc, wah damn slow so it takes two hours to create with 4 DVD disc required ( VAIO backup disc creation also quite time consuming but only requires 2 DVD disc)
After that, excited to test out its eight cell battery as ASUS website stated “All-day Computing with 12-hours* Battery Life “
Switch to discrete (high power) graphic to play my Favourite WOW (World of Warcraft), graphic is quite smooth & nice, battery life is almost 3 hours for use….haven’t test out battery life in Battery Conservation mode yet….
Same as our old VAIO SZ series, its come with switchable Graphics for Stunning Visuals or Battery Conservation. (difference is that VAIO SZ series need restart PC after slide button to switch between the two mode while ASUS UL30V just need to press button to switch)
One of its bonus gifts: Norman Security Suite is just a activation green card as shown below
We feel its most “worthwhile” free gift is the “super light weight” ASUS External SuperMulti Drive which can serves as DVD player & recorder (but hor somehow feel it’s abit fragile when push back the tray after taking out DVD disc been burnt)
The free ASUS Notebook carry bag is of Targus brand of simple design ( frankly speaking, its design quite ugly, our last time free VAIO notebook bag design is very much nicer ) but still can 随便用when go for work lor
so buy this simple DICOTA notebook Backpack at discount price of $39 (usual price $68)
choose it as feel its quite light-weight.
It has five compartments,
front one for putting small stuffs like pens, mobile phone etc
two zips infront for putting small stuffs…
behind one to slot in the 13.3 inches notebook
there is also a zip on its cap…which can put little stuffs as well
Buy this ESET smart security 4 which comes with anti-virus & firewall software for one user license at $48 (usual price $60) to install on my new ASUS notebook:)
M1 seems to have more attractive deal than Singtel, so go sign up its M1 BBOM plan which cost $11.21 for two years plan with unlimited data usage as current BBOM going to expire soon…….(cheaper than existing Singtel BBOM plan which cost $14.66 for 30G data usage)
but somehow feel M1 performance seems like abit poorer, however as has not really fully using it so not very sure about it yet…..
