Why should we content ourselves with same old Laptop appearance for years? The irony off course, is that we would go to any lengths to change the appearance of our mobile phones as often as we possibly can. Why this discrimination? Apparently, this is the same question that GelaSkins asked itself. To provide an answer, this company has come out with great stickers to stick on your laptop and give it a chic look. The great thing is that the stickers are as easy to peel off, as they are to stick. So you aren’t stuck with a same look for too long. These stickers are designed to fit both Apple and PC notebook computers. Moreover, they come in a variety of sizes and the choice of designs is awesome. Priced at $32.95, these aren’t cheap. But there are some things only money can buy. Well, this happens to be one of them. Source: Ubergizmo
Mac fans who wish to enrich themselves with some Blu-ray feat with their computers can now upgrade the machine with the FastMac’s Blu-Ray optical drive upgrade. The new slim-line offers up to 50GB of storage on one disk. Well, it is priced at $800 that is somewhat about $200 pricier than the PS3. And yes, the FastMac’s drive doesn’t releases a bluish glowing light. The new drive fits fine into many Mac products, including 17-inch MacBook Pro, the Intel iMac, and the Mac mini (sorry for the 15-inch MacBook owners).
This one seems to appear a ‘Gem’ of an offer by Acer. The all-new Acer Aspire range of notebooks comes up with classy outlook and a better CPU. Their extravagant designs speak highly of Acer’s rising reputation. The ‘Gemstone’, as they have named it, incorporates a unique rounded design with opal contours and edges, white keyboard with brilliant sapphire blue keys and what surprises me the most is that Acer has not yet given a slightest hint on its features. I am sure they will soon be letting out a detailed performa of specifications for this new ‘Gemstone’ range. Via: Akihabaranews
