Sony Vaio P115 Review

When the first Sony Vaio P came out last year, I drooled over it. The design was exquisite and you’d even ask if Apple made that sexy thing. The price was too high and the specs are on the lower end. A year later, a redesigned Vaio P, the specs were bumped a little and Sony lowered the price too. You can even say it’s an engineering feat.

Neo Basic 4103N Review

Neo’s line-up of Core i3 and Core i5 laptops include this 14.1-inch Neo Basic 4103N. The model name alone is a good indication that the laptop offers the basic features and skips fancy features that would add up to the cost.

The laptop that StudioTraffic bought

ebox notebook About a year ago, my kumpare was egging me to join his new-found cashcow pay-per-surf website. I really didn’t believe in those kind so I jokingly agreed to sign up under him. It didn’t really asked much from me except do some auto-surfing for 30 minutes a day.

You basically get 1% earnings of your level for every day you surf thru their site, so that’s around 30% in a month. And since you get a free $10-level upon joining, you basically get $3 more each month, compounded. A couple of months later, my friend told me he’s getting regular monthly cheques from StudioTraffic (affiliate link) because he was able to convince his brother to join in and fund their account with $1,000. Was actually amazed that people would “invest” that much on something that is inherently dubious.

Anyway, to make the long story short, I used some of the money I got from other affiliates to fund my own account. First, it was just $50, then another $200. Not a lot but a month’s Adsense on my blog could cover that up, if ever the program went down.

A couple of month’s back, I was able to recover the money that initially ‘invested’. After that, the rest went to a safe for emergency use or so I thought.

When my PC melted down last week, I reckon I ought to pull out that emergency fund. After getting a new Asus mobo and Sempron 3100+, there was enough funds left to get me a new laptop.

From the lot of IBM, Acer, MSI, NEO, Apple and ECS mobile notebooks that I checked out, the nice ivory-white eBox notebook perfectly fits the bill. For just over Php40k, I get a 1.8kg, 12″, 1.4GHz Celeron, with 40GB HDD, 512MD RAM and Wifi-enabled laptop. PC Buyer’s Guide has a review of it here which is distributed by CompLink.

Anyway, why are the cheaper laptops the ones with 14″ or 15″ screens? The 12-inch ones are more expensive.
