nitro:licious x HP Envy 13 Laptop Giveaway!

retrogurl — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:22:40 +0000

Christmas is coming early, it’s been a while since we did a giveaway but good things are worth the wait right?! In celebration of the launch of the HP Envy 13 and Windows 7, we teamed up with HP to giveaway one (1) brand new sleek-sexy Envy 13 to a lucky nitro:licious reader, I’ll be green with “envy” of whoever wins this laptop! The laptop retails starting from $1,699.99!

The Envy 13 is super thin, weighs about 3.74 lbs. and is less than 1″ thin, and features a 13.1″ HD Radiance display with up to 410 nit/82% color gamut which is twice as bright as other notebook displays in its class, BluRay and Beats Audio make it an ideal device for experiencing music and video. The luxurious design elements includes etched metal chassis, and best-in-class hardware with the intuitive user experience delivered by Windows 7. For me, one of the important aspects is the battery life, the Slim Fit Extended-Life notebook battery gives users up to 16.25 hours of battery life. Windows 7 power management contributes to battery longevity by running fewer background activities, automatic screen dimming, powering off unused ports and more. Features like snap, pin, shake, and peak in Windows 7 make day-to-day tasks a breeze on the Envy 13. I’m not going to get into all the specs and features, to learn more check here and here. I have yet to check out the laptop in person yet but really want to test run it and try the new Windows 7!

Dell Mini 10 Netbook Review + $100 GC Giveaway

retrogurl — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:00:35 +0000

Last month when I went to the Dell Urban Meet Up Event to check out their newest gadgets, I came across the Mini 10. I’ve been a long time Dell user, I’ve had several Dell computers for years until I converted to a MAC so I know their products are pretty good. I didn’t know they released a netbook as well but I shouldn’t be surprised since it is the industry trend now. As you know I already own two netbooks myself so I received this Mini 10 for review, I wanted to test out and see how well it works since the price is a lot cheaper than the ones I own.

The price is really good for the Mini 10, it starts at $349 if you don’t change the color (standard is the Obsidian Black) or add any additional features. One of the great feature that first attracted me at the event was the TV Tuner, add $50 to your package for the Dell Internal Digital TV Receiver (ATSC) and watch over-the-air live digital broadcasts on your Mini 10- pretty sweet. The Mini 10 is about 2.6 lbs, the start-up of the machine was a little slow, the keyboard is a good size (plus it’s spill-resistant, in case an accident happens) but the trackpad isn’t that good (would of been better if it was smooth). The glossy high definition 10.1″ widescreen is great for watching movies on because it’s bright and colors are vivid but the glossy screen can be a bit annoying when there’s bright lights shining on it (it has a glare). One issue people may argue about is the 1GB RAM which is not upgradeable, but for those that use the netbook for simple tasks like email, browsing and watching movies I think this is a pretty sweet deal.

For those interested in getting this Mini 10 or any other products, Dell is offering a $100 gift card for one lucky nitro:licious reader to shop with. Peep below for details on how to enter to win! Sponsored by Dell.
