A reliable laptop to recommend, anyone?

by Penny on June 28, 2010

My 6-month old Acer Timeline is giving me a problem with the screen. The screen’s colours are distorted. It’s quite a disappointment as it’s only 6 months old and I don’t expect to have such a problem. My previous Acer Aspire laptop had screen problems too but that was after some years of use.
Wonder if [...]

Recommended small size printer

by Penny on May 14, 2010

We’ve got a printer that’s functioning as a scanner, copier and printer. Been useful thus far but I’ve to admit that it’s a rather big machine. We thought of getting one that’s smaller, just for printing job. A smaller printer definitely helps to save space. I’ve not shopped in this area for a long time, [...]

Recently I wrote a post asking for recommendations for a good business card scanner. At that time I was exploring a brand called PenPower WorldCard which costs nearly RM500. And then I found that most shops don’t carry the brand but they carried one called Plustek OptiCard which costs around RM300. But since the former [...]

IT Mega sale

by Penny on May 30, 2009

I read on Shopping N Sales website that there will be an IT Mega Sale at Mines Wonderland this weekend. I love gadgets and it does look like there are some bargains to be found there. I would like to get another micro sd card as a spare. I regretted that I didn’t buy an [...]

Apple Inc is so adamant (to the point of being arrogant, in my opinion) that it will not want its brand to be associated to netbooks because it deems a netbook as being too low end and unable to support the full Apple experience. Many reports since the end of 2008 saw Apple’s announcement that [...]

My mum is cooler than me!

by Penny on May 7, 2009

Yeah, you read it right, my mum is way cooler than me. Just a few days ago she got herself a new toy – a mini Acer notebook!

It’s only been 9 months ago when I wrote about my shopping experience in helping her buy her first notebook, a Lenovo Y410. And now, she’s got a brand new [...]

by Penny on May 5, 2009

The GPS device is without a doubt one of the coolest invention in our times. Last year I had the chance to use a GPS Bay device for a couple of days and I found it so cool and especially useful when trying to navigate my way into some housing estate that I don’t know [...]

Birthday present

by Penny on March 19, 2009

I was pleasantly surprised when my other half said to me that he has plans for a birthday present for me already. He wants to get me a new laptop since he often hears me complaining about the slow performance of my current one, probably due to a lack of computer memory because of the [...]

Where to shop for techie stuff

by Penny on January 23, 2009

I love gadgets, but I don’t necessarily have to have the latest of the gadgets. I love visiting Low Yat Plaza and going through all the new stuff they’ve brought into the market. But driving into that part of town requires one to battle heavy traffic and incur high parking charges. Alternatively, one can take the [...]

Finding the best deal on Nikon D60 DSLR camera

by Penny on December 20, 2008

After months and months of drooling over a DSLR camera, I finally bought a Nikon D60. It came highly recommended as an entry level DSLR camera for a beginner like me. Even after making my decision that I will go for a Nikon instead of Canon DSLR, I didn’t jump in to buying it right away. [...]
