Laptop Cooler

Actually it’s a cooling pad - i’ve been asked so many times about it at our store - at first i didn’t know that it existed - until the spouse corrected me - when a customer asked me.  I had thought that the only thing to do is to blow the dust outta the fan in your lappie and that would keep the laptop/notebook cool again.  But i was wrong - hahah!! so silly of me eh.

Anyhow, like all smart chick - i too don’t want to pay too much for a laptop cooling pad, so when i saw one at Amazon.com - i had to tell my customers they can get one there for just $17.88 - A Belkin F5L001 -Cooling Stand prevents your laptop against overheating. The unique patented wave design uses natural convection to enhance fan. This stand has low power consumption with the USB port on your laptop without power cumbersome. Because the laptops today are based on fast processors to do the work, they create a lot of heat, with much of that land directly on your lap. Some laptops may have a “normal temperature” as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit have, that’s not only dangerous and uncomfortable, it can also take you from your laptop, because it can block unexpectedly decline, and overall life expectancy.

Leaf Tie

I’m a little OCD - haha! but of course - the spouse would disagree and tell you that I’m a lot OCD  - so i’m always looking out for things to keep my stuff neat and tidy and nice looking all around the house.  But I am guessing all women are like myself - we like pretty and nice things.  So when i saw this leaf tie for $9 at GSelect - I just have to buy it.  The Leaf tie is easy to use. It is simply used in the same manner as the cable-tie. All you have to do is wrap the Leaf Tie around the loose cables and enjoy the hint of nature.

Notebook Cooler

As you all know we own a computer store, so when at first a customer asked me about a year ago for notebook cooler - i had told him that we didn’t have any nor had i heard of any.  He definitely looked like he had  joint pain when i said that - i mean for sure he must have had done his research and the spouse corrected me immediately.   Now that I am using the notebook permanently - i too know that i need a notebook cooler now.   As the notebook gets older and even after blowing dust out - it still doesn’t want to cool down - then you know you need one.  A notebook cooler cost like $35 - and this is a Thermaltake brand with a 23cm fan in it.  It is supposed to be quiet - and improves the overall heat dissipation.   It is very light weight.. and supports from 10 - 17″ notebook.   So if your notebook is overheating - get a notebook cooler quickly before it fries anything up.

Blackberry Cover

We deal a lot with used items at our store - oh - for those who don’t know this we own our own business and even though it’s not like selling  Amazon books - we sell all sorts of used game, consoles and electronics.   Stuff like a used iPod or even a used blackberry do come our way.  But like all used items - some ppl just don’t take care of their things.

But it’s easy these days to camouflage any flaws in your iPod and even a Acer One Netbook because with skin kits as cheap as $10 and easy to apply - you don’t have to buy new gadgets anymore - just use these new covers and there you have a totally new image for your gadget.  Good trick to learn especially if you have kids that needs their toys. Each design is digitally printed in vibrant, art-quality resolutions onto cast vinyl.

Save Your Gadgets

So you dropped your gadgets - your iPod, your phone or even your PSP into a bucket of water or a drain or left it inside your pocket and it went into the washing machine or when you were in a hurry to go for an interview for a new  employment.  Before you panic and freak out .. and wanna throw your gadget away - and get a replacement - try this.

Quickly remove all parts and wipe it down with a static cloth and then with a bowl of rice leave it overnight and hope it soaks up all the wetness.  Leave your gadgets or device for another few days.. and pray for the best results - never try - never know right?

Extension Cord

Don’t we all hate ugly extension cords that needs to be coiled and put away .. when not in used and sometimes we can’t find a place to hide them away before the next time.  Find diets that work is  a lot easier to deal with than those extension cords.  Especially during christmas and you need to have all the wires outdoors and when after Christmas - there are tons of it to store away.

Well, now you can use Rambler Socket for those extension cords problems because their are coiled into the wall and it can be neatly tucked away when you don’t need it by simply tugging on the wire. So now .. if you need the extension cord for the vacuum cleaner, hair dryer - it’s way easier.

Kitty USB Hub

Gadgets are a must for anyone who spends any amount of time on the computer - be it whether you are using them at work or at home - one definitely need the gadget.  For me - the woman - it’s an accessory like our jewellery that we buy so often but never seems to get enough of it.  The g/f who does  employee screening and meet no one is such a person - even though she sees no one except the computer, she still dresses like she was meeting the CEO in the company everyday - I kid you not.

This 4-port USB Hub designed in kitty shape. 3 ports with cover and 1 revolving port. Your partner on work and great decoration on your desk! And they are not expensive at all - only at $10 - a very good gift for a co-worker who is having a promotion or even an anniversary with the company for long service.

EarPhones For Her

The spouse would never agree that women should have special ear phones because he thinks that the women don’t spend as much money as the men period.  Unlike acne scar cream which he claimed that the women would spend tons of money on them - no question about it, when it comes to accessories and gadgets, the women folks just don’t know how to appreciate it.

Well, i’m proving him wrong by making sure i buy these pretty looking ear phones for myself because Vestalife brought in a special team just to make this ear phones look like earrings. Each earbud features a different way of popping them in and taking them out. The Bumblebee has a soft cover as well as bee-looking rings which can be pinched for handling. The Scarab has a sculpted pinch-grip. The Boa’s grip is fashioned after a snake, which encircles the earbud. These new earbuds will be available later this year and won “Best of Show” at CES 2010. Pretty neat eh.
