New Acer laptop is a Monster

when you talk about Intel® Core(TM) i7 Quad-Core 720QM processor and Windows® 7 Home Premium and you put that together with an 18.4″ HD widescreen monitor, moster is the only way i can think to describe it.  Now i’m not sure I’d wanna tote it around all day, but if you’re serious about your gaming, movies and othe media, spec-wise, this bad boy has it all.

Keep warm…ergonomically

If your office is like mine, kinda small with a lil chill in the air, here’s a hot gadget you might wanna take a look at.

It’s the SoleAire ($59.99 ) personal heater and cooler from Vorando.   At first glance it looks like it’s just a  footrest.  Well it is a foot rest.  It’s angled nicely to keep you back in nice paper pushing alignment, and has little nubs that feel good on your shoeless feet.

That’s all fine and dandy, but take a second look.  That’s right, it has switches…one for for power and the other to control the intensity of the heat coming out .  I was skeptical at first but it lives up to every claim they make.  They say it’s whisper quiet…check!  They say it’s comfortable…check!  It even has an auto shut off feature.

The SoleAire id definitely a keeper!
