Samsung Galaxy S III Mini=Samsung Galaxy W sucsessor? (Issues on sudden restart of the W)

Hi guys! A long time of not posting on the blog. Last week I was cut off from the internet, because I was camping, so sorry for the no posts! The past few days, well was hard, because of issues between Vanessa. So I have recovered, and back with my blog.

So, I have took a look at the Samsung Galaxy S III mini, and pretty much the same look as the S III. Just a smaller, strip down version of it. Samsung Galaxy W was a stripdown version of the S II, so I think, that this is a sucsessor of the W.

Samsung Galaxy W is a phone that wasnt too famous, a quietly released phone. Unlike the S III mini. Well, they had a huge press conference for that thing. The specs is pretty much the same, and almost the same size.

Would you get the S III mini. I wouldn't. I think I'll would rather get a S III instead. Or either stick with my W.

And also, have you been experienceing sudden restart issues while using you Galaxy W, after you updated to the ICS value pack? Leave a comment, if its my phone's problem, well tough luck for me. I will be figuring out how to fix that thing, and uploading it in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Happy (Late) birthday, Thinkpad!

5 days ago, Lenovo celebrated 20 years of the Thinkpad. Thinkpad is an buisness laptop, and being praised by many. From the 700, to the X1 Carbon. The original Thinkpad idea was from their 'Think' Notebook (The paper one!), a notebook with a 'Think' on it. The second inspiration was from the 'Bento' lunchbox in Japan.

The Thinkpad is so sucsessful today is becuase of its buisness friendly style and also durability. The Thinkpad has passed 8 military specifications, and also able to withstand drops from 5 feet high (Using the Thinkpad X1 as an example). Why consider using Thinkpad when there is so many different, better designed laptops out there? Its special.

Power-People always had problems with running out of battery while they are on the go. No problem with the Thinkpad. Every year where power standards gets pushed higher, the Thinkpad goes for it. For example the Thinkpad R400 laptop in 2009, it went up to four hours, which is quite a lot in 2009. Now in 2012, it can go up to 8 hours, 24 or even 48. 

The Thinkpad X1 carbon is really a good choice. With a carbon shell, its not destroyable. With a speedy processor, a magnificent IPS display, you will see that you didnt get the right laptop. As becoming the most expensive Thinkpad ever sold, its still worth it. Marking a 20th aniversary of the Thinkpad, will become history.

Opinions matter in IT industry, and as an Thinkpad user, I think the Thinkpad can give me full power no matter if I am working or playing. As Thinkpad passes a lot of specifications, even the toughest enviornment in our school, it still can give a tough side.

Microsoft Surface or Pro?

Hello, my first blog post! Moving from webs.com to here, feels better. Today, I will talk about Microsoft Surface.

Microsoft Surface is a tablet designed, and upcoming, by Microsoft. We're still waiting for it. On 26th of October 2012, it will be out, with the exiting Metro interface, Windows 8. But, on January 2013, the Microsoft Surface Pro will come out. So which one?

First, lets talk about the hardware. The Microsoft Surface is installed with Windows RT, with Windows 8 interface and some features of it. Dont mix up with Windows 8, its not getting it. An speedy ARM processor, may sound slow, but its pretty speedy. 32GB or 64 for you to choose. Using a magnificent 10.6 Inch ClearType HD screen, people who are seeking an home tablet, you would consider right? But wait... How about Microsoft Surface Pro? You get an Windows 8 Pro (Yes, Professional version) With a Sandy Bridge Dual Core Intel i5 Processor, speedy eh? Definatly better than ARM. Storage 64 and 128 GB, much more larger. Note the difference of the moniter. ClearType FULL HD 10.6 inch. Should be clearer I suppose?  And also Microsoft Surface is only getting USB 2.0 ports, and Pro is getting 3.0, so if you want to try an USB 3.0 port, and you went to get a Microsoft Surface, too bad. Not that I didn't tell you.

Second, software. Windows RT or 8 Pro? It depends on what you need it for. If you are a casual guy (Or woman, I'm not being sexist)  You might want a Microsoft Surface. Windows RT can load webpages, games, Windows Store. If you are a worker, a person that relies on an tablet, well, Microsoft Surface Pro will be the choice.

The Microsoft Surface will make a dent. Like the iPad, it gonna.

So got the difference? If you ask me, I'm getting the Surface Pro. Yes I am getting it.
