The tablet of course runs Nvidia Tegra 1Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, customized Gingerbread UI as well as other standard tablet features such as GPS and etc. It has a choice of 16gb and 64gb. Right now only 64GB is available and yep, its only Rm1499. Quite cheap compared to others.

I also did the usual benchmark test, and yea the result is pretty predictable. Nothing to shout about as its all the same for every NVidia Tegra tablet.

Lenovo has even their own appstore for apps that are optimized for their tablet. (: They even throw in RM200 worth of paid application for you. Or we can also call that, bloatware. LOL!.. Wait, bloatwares are trial programs, but this is full version! So there’s a difference.

The newly anticipated movie about man’s first step on moon named Apollo 18 is coming to the silver screen near you and Hydraskin, being the proud sponsor had made an awesome limited edition laptop skin just for the fans!

I heard that there’s only 150 piece in this world! I was one of the lucky few to get it.

Yup! It comes with a palm rest sticker as well. Its also water and scratch resistant! And best of all, you can always reuse like its new! (:

What I love about this DIY laptop skin is that its DIY! Yup! This skin fits 13,14,15 inch laptops! (: How you ask? Its actually a 15inch laptop skin but has grids at the back of it to help you measure your computer’s size!

IMG_6584

Then you can proceed to measure, mark and cut and apply it. ALL BY YOURSELF. (:

IMG_6595

So how to apply you ask? First measure the size of your laptop screen with the skin. Then gently bent the sides to match the screen size to create a mark on the it. !

After creating the mark, flip over and then use a ruler to draw a line along the grid to cut it.

After cutting to the desired size, then gently peel of the sticker from the grid and apply smoothly to your laptop. Avoid any bubbles and gently wipe the surface of the laptop if bubbles exist.
