Alien M14x
A true blend of aesthetics and exquisite craftsmanship, the M14x from Dell’s line of Alienware computers is the weapon of choice for dedicated gamers and multi-taskers.
Designed for high-performance gaming, the laptop doesn’t fail to deliver in portability and performance. Under the hood, it packs the latest Intel i7 processor, coupled with 16 GB of Dual Channel DDR3 RAM running at 1600 MHz, as well as a 2 GB DDR5 NVIDIA GT 650M graphics card. This means you could watch a video, use Photoshop, play HD games, run design software, and of course post updates on Facebook— all at the same time.
In addition to processing power, the M14x is completely customizable. Dell allows users to personalize almost all aspects of their laptops, such as the colour of the hood, controls on the keypad, and the central processing unit.
The colour of the backlit keyboard, along with the lighting of the front-end grill of the computer—it looks like the front of a race car—is also completely customizable. Choices range from Valentine pink to alien green—any colour from the pallet can shimmer through the ergonomically designed keyboard and touchpad.
While the M14x is a bit chunkier than other laptops currently on the market—6.45lbs is on the heavier side for laptops, especially in comparison to the MacBook Air—it sacrifices sleekness in design for dependability, remarkable performance, and sheer capacity.
If you’re looking for a reliable gaming computer, or just one with processing horsepower, Alienware M14x is an excellent choice.
Samsung Galaxy SIII
Just after Apple wowed us with the release of the iPhone 5, Samsung’s Galaxy SIII transcended the boundaries that define a smartphone.
“Designed for humans,” and “inspired by nature,” as Samsung advertises, this phone has a sleek and minimal design that is reflected in its smooth and gentle curves. The 4.8-inch HD display does a stunning job of displaying crisp photos and videos, and with the recent Android Jelly Bean update, the interface is even more intuitive than before. In other words, the SIII is aimed at helping users quickly access applications without searching through a cascade of menus.
Another feature of this gadget is the robust hardware that resides below the Corning Gorilla Glass screen. The Exynos Quad Core processor ensures that the experience of using the phone is never hampered, even if there are several applications running in the background.
While software makes this phone run well, its features make it stand out. Equipped with an 8 MP camera that can capture burst shots—a multi-frame function whereby the camera takes many consecutive photographs in a single click—the SIII lends itself to beautiful, high quality photographs. It also contains the ability to share large files quickly through a technology called Near Field Communication (NFC) S-beam.
In addition, the phone exhibits an impressive intelligence. Features, such as “Smart stay,” which detects your gaze to maintain the brightness of the screen as long as you are looking at the phone, and “Direct call, ”which dials a selected number automatically when the phone is lifted to your ear, truly epitomize the phone’s tagline “Not just smart. More human.”
