3 Reasons why I want an Apple iPad! Or maybe not!
The DELL Latitude XT2 is one of the latest tablets in the market boasting some very unique features that the market is experiencing for the first time, with multi touch technology, digitized pen controls and its slim size.
These features make it a business-grade laptop that is very convenient to carry about.
The slim tablet comes with a 32bit Windows Vista business operating system and a hardware composition every business user needs. Alternatively, users can also opt for the new Windows 7 Professional with media.
HARDWARE COMPOSITION
The laptop consists of an Intel core 2 duo SU9400 1.4 GHZ processor and 3Gb DDR3 1066MHZ random access memory module coupled with an Intel built 5100 AGN Wifi, 1Gb Ethernet and Bluetooth giving it a reliable network based data access.
The storage capacity also falls within range of many consumers expectations i.e. a 120 GB 5400 revolutions per minute hard drive and dual layer DVD+/R Drive (8x CD/DVD Burner)
POWER/BATTERY LIFE
The Dell Latitude XT2 is equipped with a six cell 42WHr battery which can give up to eight hours or more of power retention in case of power outages. Continue Reading »

Last week, I wrote a post on Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Beta Download is OUT.
Today, I finally gave it a try. After about 15 minutes trying out Word and Excel, I got a little impatient as I tried to find out what new features are available compared to the previous version. After all, this is what we are after. New features to help us get our office productivity work done faster and neater.
I hope that when the Office 2010 is launched next year, some tutorials / help files which explains what is new will be incorporated especially when it’s launched for the first time, so that we can save some time trying to figure out what’s new and what’s not.
Rather than toying with the Office 2010 Beta further, I got lazy and checked out these resources instead:
- Office 2010: New Features by BeingManan.com
- Office 2010 Beta: A Visual Tour of What’s New by PCWorld.com
From these resources, what I really liked about the upcoming Office 2010 are: Continue Reading »
My experience using Microsoft Office 2010 Beta
How many hours in a day do spend reading and typing on a computer? Image by Chika.
I spend at least 8 hour a day in front of a computer either reading sites, writing, programming, emailing or watching YouTube videos. All these daily computing is really straining my eyes to the limit. I’m actually quite surprised that until now, I don’t really need a pair of glasses yet. I hope I can stay glass free for a long long time, just like our cat friend above. 
Sometimes, when my mom sees my eyes are reddish and look puffy, she would tell me to take a rest away from the computer. I would then tell her, “Nope, I can’t! I need to finish proofreading this 10 pages long proposal document that we’ve prepared”.
Then she would ask, is there a software that would read out the proposal to you while you look out to the trees and birds flying?
What a great idea! After spending days typing the proposal into the computer, now, we get the computer to read out to us what we wrote while we sit back and enjoy our coffee. Why not?
Text to speech software can provide the following benefits:
- Hearing text read out loud can help us identify errors our tired eyes could miss.
- Avoids straining the eyes due to too much reading and typing on the computer.
- Helps english students learn english by listening to how certain words are pronounced.
- Helps anyone who is visually impaired.
I Googled for Free Text to Speech Software and found out there are many free software that would read out to us the text we wrote. The following are a few: Continue Reading »
