Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook

Concepts Computer announced the arrival of the new Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook in Brunei at its main branch in Kiulap. In his opening speech, Concepts General Manager Vincent Pao said the Aspire S3 is designed to meet the demands of modern notebook users who want to maximise their time wherever they go.

“The new Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook combines the power and productivity of notebooks and essential features of the smartphone and tablet PC, such as fast startup and Internet connectivity,” he said. “The Acer S3 is expected to lead a new growth momentum for Acer’s notebooks to offer our customers the complete range of mobile products with attractive and immediate technology,” added Pao.

The Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook measures only 13mm thin and weighs less than 1.4kg. The ultra slim aerodynamic design features a strong and lightweight aluminium or magnesium alloy chassis, its lid is made out of fingerprint free metal finish which gives off a clean finish and a texture which is smooth as silk.

Customers can either go for the 320GB HDD with embedded SSD or the 240GB SSD which offers an ultra fast access and ample media and data storage. Concepts announced that the latter will be available in Brunei in the month of November. Text by Adib Noor of The Brunei TImes. [Click here to read more].

Vincent being interviewed by the press

This was a hilarious moment on TV last night. He received a yellow card for this after scoring the first goal. At least, he smiled when he was subbed. Yeah, this guy hardly smiled.

I remember Gunners fans felt terrible during their demolition at Old Trafford (8-2) beginning of the season. That was the talked of the town even for other football fans and it dragged on for weeks. This week, Old Trafford stole the thunder for a different reason – being mauled by their noisy neighbours.

Tweets were flooding in. Man Utd fans were shell-shocked. Even Sir Alex Ferguson claimed it was the worst he has experienced and indeed it was SAF’s darkest day. But I’m pretty sure that SAF has something up his sleeves. He had been there, done that. I still question Rio’s defending though. With much experience, he should have close his defence well despite the numerical disadvantage. The 3 goals conceded in a space of 3 minutes was a total shocker and a 3-1 defeat would have been a fair result.

To me, 6-1 score line was a bit harsh but that perhaps summed up the mood at Old Trafford and also the players. I remember when I was watching the 4-1 drubbing by Liverpool live at Old Trafford few years back. The atmosphere was pretty sombre and I had difficulty celebrating at the Man Utd fans area. The defeat was Man Utd’s first but I believe they have the squad to defend their title. A 5-point cushion by City is a good indicator that MC have shown credentials to be a contender apart from Chelsea.

Blues went down to QPR but not without a fight

I was amazed by the Blues performance though. Chelsea had a daunting task at QPR with 9 men on field for the next 50 minutes. Yes, people might compare QPR that they don’t have a star-studded team but let’s not take that away from them. They have 3 wins and 3 draws which show that they have the qualities to be in the BPL.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, it seemed that QPR were playing with 9 men, not the other way round. I was asking myself, how was this possible? Chelsea playing away with 9 men and yet still dominating? I realised how much hunger and desire these lads have compared to the Red Devils who were playing at their own home turf and self-destructed themselves in the 2nd half.

I bet Datuk’ Tony Fernandes was at the edge of his seat watching this game. I was actually more moved by this match than the derby ones. Well, for one reason – Chelsea had the chance to score at many occasions but I still want QPR to win, hence the excitement *lol* So this is a good lesson for Red Devils to see how the Blues really showed up with their hunger, determination and desire.

This was never in the script. For Newcastle to be undefeated after 9 games. Well, they haven’t played the big boys just yet apart from Arsenal. But WOWW!!!.. this is still quite impressive standing for a team that sold the likes of Carroll, Enrique and Barton. Last weekend, they beat Wigan and now they are sitting fourth in the Premier League.

Do they need to spend? I believe so if they want to sustain especially in the 2nd half of the season. But of all the clubs, I’m quite impressed with Newcastle’s resilience in grinding out results. I’m sure Newcastle fans are on a high now..

I should have Cabaye on my Fantasy Football League. He’s been in good form
