Dell Inspiron Duo Hybrid Tablet: Lust at first sight!!

Sometimes i can be lustful...well, everyone CAN .... This is the intense wanting feeling that one gets when they see something physically appealing to them. It's the exact feeling i had when i saw the dell Inspiron Duo Hybrid tablet. i thought it was made for me. This laptop doubles up as a tablet as well as a notebook.

Before seeing it, i had been in the middle of intense prayers asking God to provide funds for a nice tablet i had seen. I did not need the tablet at the time but was extremely in lust with the way it looked. Its sleekness, HD graphics and portable size made me go gagaaaaa!!

You can make out my reaction when i saw this hybrid model. It has a 10.1 inch screen that can be flipped and transformed into a tablet. How cool is that? This provides an instant access to videos, e-books and music in a faster way.

I then set off to look around for it. At avenue electronics, the last price was KES 49,000 and they had one left. I was a bit sad because i was not intending to use all that money on an intel atom dual processor since the same amount could fetch me a more powerful gadget. However, thanks to the power of window shopping, i stumbled across a place that was selling it for kes 38,500. That is a REALLY good price since they would normally go for $545. Made me a tard bit skeptical though. Even though it comes in a range of colors such as red, foggy night and martin blue, the stores only had the foggy night one.

However, i decided to go with the Lenovo S400. you can have an interesting read as to why the latter captured my attention by clicking here.
Some of the disadvantages of the convertible include:
  • poor battery life
  •  a sluggish touch functionality
  • a non removable battery
If you are a lustful person who would prefer beautiful and captivating looks to functionality, this is a good buy ; probably the best option for a cosmopolitan who loves to be trendy and has very basic functionality requirements such as checking emails and storing documents.


A mother reading this should seriously think of getting this for their daughters, or a caring boyfriend should get it for the girlfriend. You can customize the back of the screen to bring about  interesting designs such as these; Enjoy!!
fancy, huh?

I am grateful that you stopped by!!

Lenovo S400 review : A Beast!!

I stumbled upon the Lenovo S400 when i was looking for a replacement for my old crashed Samsung. At first, i was lusting for the Dell Aspiron convertible : duo hybrid tablet. but as soon as i saw the Lenovo S400, i fell in love :-). for more information on the dell Aspiron hybrid, click here.

The sleekness and functionality of this gadget makes it the ultimate laptop suitable for any programmer, developer, designer, blogger or business executive. Some of the basic specifications include:
  • Intel core i3-2365m processor (4 processores)
  • 1.4 Ghz default clock speed (*4)
  • 4.00 GB RAM
  • 500 GB HD
  • 14 inch screen
  • a generous touchpad that is multi touch capable.
  • A chiclet accutype keyboard
  • Intergrated bluetooth version 4 and Wifi
  • USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI out and Card Reader
Other interesting features include the Intel graphics Card that will be of particular importance to gamers. The one key recovery system is very helpful when it comes to data backup and recovery processes. it also has a quick start key that lets you surf the web, photo manager, Skype and music player at the instance of a button before the windows operating system is loaded.

Its looks are breathtaking. apart from the fact that it weighs approximately 1.8 kgs, it is extremely slim and is therefore loved because of its ultraportable nature. It comes in crimson red and silver colors. The super sleek profile and a very sleek metallic finish is captivating to the eye.

This is the ultimate Ideapad. I happened to purchase mine at the Ibrahim's Store opposite Stanley hotel. It was retailing for 45,000. Its initial price was 50,000 but lucky for me, they had a sale and were selling laptops 5,000 less if they cost more than 40,000 shillings. I had window shopped around at Avenue Electronics next to I&M bank, Bright Electronics and a couple of computer shops on the Ibrahim's lane but they were either too lame (did not have it in their stores), or did not offer a good bargain.

One thing that is wanting about it is the battery life. It was indicated that the battery life would last for about 4 hours, which it did in the earlier days. However, right now, sustaining 3 hours is a miracle. Because of its slim nature, the battery quality had to be compromised.

Lenovo Group Limited is a China company that manufactures servers, laptops, computers and handsets. it offers some of the best quality products in the market. to have a look at more of their gadgets, click here.

Am happy i was able to do this. i have always been toying with the idea of starting up my own blog. always like it when i come through with the promises i make to myself. new year, new beginnings is too much of  a cliche but what the hell.
this is a note to me. i hope i will be an interesting and above all, relevant blogger!

Why cosmopolitanization? (it's a revolution up in here!! :-) ) i love cosmopolitan magazines, because they keep it trendy, upscale and interesting. Was hoping to project that.
to future posts!!!
