Sprint Loves Me!

September 21, 2011

I was checking my current phone plan status on Sprint’s web site. I was wondering when I would be able to get a new phone… in case the iPhone comes to Sprint. Well, Sprint loves me! Check out this notice it put up when I clicked on the link for my current plan:

They love me so much they will let me get a new phone almost 3 months early. That is sooooo sweet. And this coincides with the rumor I heard that Sprint will get the iPhone in October.

How nice is that? Does Sprint love you too?

Toshiba Joins the Ultrabook Scene

September 2, 2011

First Samsung, then Lenovo… now Toshiba. PCMag has a little info on the Toshiba Z835. A slimmer laptop than the R835, which is at the top of my list of choices for a new laptop.

The laptop market looks like it is heating up quite nicely as I am getting ready to get a laptop near the end of the year.

I can’t wait to see reviews on these three.

Another Laptop Possibility – Lenovo U-Series

September 1, 2011

First Samsung announces its the Series 7 laptops that will go on sale on Oct 2, then Lenovo shows off 3 laptops in its U-Series. Supposedly based on Intel’s new Ultrabook specification… Lenovo showed CNet its U300s, U300 & U400.

The U300s is supposed to go head-to-head with the MacBook Air… which as you know if you read my recent laptop comparison is the holy grail. The MacBook Air is just too expensive at $1,299. But the U300s at $1,199 is no bargain. I am going to stay under $1,000 when I buy a laptops.

However, the U300 and U400 are going to be more affordable at $799 and $849, respectively. And the U400 is going to be a 14″ laptop. Hopefully they will put the 1600 x 900 display on the U400 and it could make a nice Christmas present to myself.

It looks like the laptop race is on. Let’s see what it brings.
