SD, MicroSD and USB. I need one of these

I found this a bit earlier and thought it was pretty cool. It can read your SD on one side and microSD on the other. So if you use both, you are getting two readers you can use at the same time for the price of one.

A nice compact package, and it is cheap too at $12.99.

Shiny & Useful: The Samsung X360

Posted by: The Derelict  :  Category: Computers, Shiny & Useful

After a 12 year break i recently returned to Apple’s loving womb, and it has been great. I was in the market for a new laptop and I knew I wanted it to be a Mac. Everyone was all hyped up about the Macbook Air, however I ended up getting the Macbook Pro.

One of the reasons I did not go with the Macbook Air was it’s lack of ports and expandability options. It looks like Samsung has answered the call for an ultra-lightweight laptop that you can actually use. 

The ultra-lightweight notebook weighs only 2.8 pound, which is less than the Macbook Air. It features a 13.3-inch screen, 3 USB ports (Apple 1), a built-in HDMI connection, a 34mm express card slot, a 7-in-1 memory card reader, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and 802.11n Wi-Fi. Like the Macbook Air, it does not have an internal optical drive. There’s also an option for an ultra-fast 128GB solid state drive (SSD), while Apple only offers a 64GB at this time.

I have never used a Samsung laptop, so I can’t vouch for the quality or usability. I can however tell you that I love my Samsung TV, Refrigerator and Washer and Dryer. I am always impressed with their excellent quality and features! There is no release date or price information at this time.
