Dell Vostro 5471 Review - Dull, yet surprising in some ways

Image
Even though Dell is a widely well known PC manufacturer brand, the Vostro series is often being left out from the main spot light. For the past releases Dell laptop designs are mostly outdated and unappealing especially when it comes to the Vostro series. Tech specifications: Processor: Intel 8th Generation i5 8250U Memory: 4GB DDR4 2444Mhz Graphics: Intel UHD 620 + AMD Radeon 530 2GB GDDR5 1TB HDD 14" 1080p Anti Glare IPS Matte Display Year passes and here comes the Dell Vostro 5471. It seems that Dell product design team did put some effort to make this series looks better, at least from the outside. This time around, they are introducing 2 colors, the silver and rose gold. For this review we will be focusing on the Silver version. Out from the box it feels really luxurious-ish, for the outer display and bottom Silver enclosure is made from aluminium.  On the inside, the keyboard frame and palm rest is made from aluminium and it is anodized with mid n...

Hippo Foam Review

Image
Hippo brand had a great history of providing great performance products with a great affordable price. Now they came out with foam tips for IEM users. Hippo foam comes in 2 models, the H100 and H500, the difference of these 2 models are the fitting size is different, H100 fitting tube is smaller so that it can be fitted into IEM brands like Shure and Westone. This foam tips are priced at RM40 for 5 pairs. I am being told by Jaben staff that each pair could lasts for around 2 to 3 weeks. Before I start my review on these foams, I would like to thank Jaben Malaysia to give me a pair of sample to test it out. The foam i will be testing will be fitted into my Shure SE215 recabled version. Comfort and build The foams are no doubt extremely comfortable. In order to wear it properly, user will need to squeeze the foam to a smaller size before it is being inserted into the ear canal. The foam will slowly expand to fill up the canal space. It doesn't really isolate much noise compared ...

Sennheiser HD202 Review

Image
Got this Sennheiser HD202 from Jaben malaysia last few months, it's not my main headphones but my family desktop needs a personal audio but my family does not need a very good setup so I thought of buying this. This headphones cost around RM166. The build is pretty basic,everything is made of pastic and there is this kinda comfortable paddings on both side of the headphones and one on the top. From what I saw and feel, the padding quality is not that lasting, I got some comments from other users that their padding coating comes out after a certain time. In the package it includes a 3.5mm to 6.5mm adapter, so that you could plug into a HiFi or a Amplifier, a cable organiser an the headphones itself. This headphones really comfortable when you first put it on your head, it is light and the clamp is not that tight so you can't really feel anything when you are enjoying it. But after 30 minutes, your ears starts to sweat, because of it's PVC coating, it is kinda makes you...

Earn money from Facbook or Twitter

Image
Last few months I came across this awesome site called says.my. It's a Malaysia social advertising company, it allows users of Facebook and Twitter to earn money from it. Basically it's kinda easy to get involve in this program. First you need to sign up an account at says.my, either you can sign up manually or use your Facebook account to sign up. Say, after you had logged into your account, all you need is to share some interesting topics provided there. Notice in the picture above, each topic have a reserved amount for you and there is a earning per unique click, which means that each time after you shared to your twitter or Facebook, if your friend clicked it, you will get an amount of money that is stated there, but there is a reserved limit, so for each topic you will only get that certain amount of money. Don't worry though, because there are many new topics coming up everyday. You will need to earn at least RM50 before you can cash out. Like as for mine it's alr...
