Went to Comex IT fair to buy a new laptop to bring to China. Buddy recommended one that has superior graphics in case I need it for any engineering or design software.
So in the end, this is what I bought!
Yeah! That's the Asus N81VG with a price tag of $1898. I bought the red one. And after a night of using, I love it!
One cool function is the Express Gate feature that allows me to skype, surf, listen music, view pictures without entering the Windows OS! It's like a simple OS by itself with a load-up of less than 8 seconds. I assume it saves battery power as well as it doesn't load up other redundant functions like the Windows OS do.
There's also fingerprint access security feature and face-recognition access. I don't think I will be using face-recognition to log in as I guess it will lag the start-up.
The free gifts include:
Optical Mouse
Notebook bag
1 yr Norton Antivirus
8GB thumbdrive
320GB 2.5" External HDD
Notebook Cooler
Cable Lock (I'll need it in China)
Keyboard Protector
Laptop Sleeve
Bought a combo of extension cable (5X sockets) and travel adaptor for $20 to bring over. The cool think about the travel adaptor is that it can power up items via
USB port!
Cool Cool Cool! I think it's money well-spent. Haha....
11 more days to departure and 6 more days left in Singapore. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
