Acer TimelineX 3830T overview

by Igor on October 9, 2011

I was looking for the past few months to replace my brave four and a half years old Toshiba laptop with an ultraportable laptop. I did finally settle with a sandy bridge based Acer TimelineX 3830T.

My main requirements were a good battery life, lightness (I travel a lot and I’m through with carrying all that weight with me), and a decent CPU. I don’t play games on my computers, so I didn’t care about the graphic card as long as it could reproduce HD videos smoothly.

Google overhauled its Android Market application for smartphone in a quite impressive way, so I thought I’d share a few screenshots.

Featured apps are exposed nicely, with a new tile system.

Hello world!

by Admin on April 18, 2011

Time for a reboot! :)

I started a blog on this domain in 2004, but I decided to put it on hold for some time, which ended up lasting nearly forever…

So, this is my personal blog. I will write from time to time about various topics such as programming, photography, or about my latest geek purchase :)

Best regards,
Igor
