Dell Vostro 5460, thinnest with power

 

This is the latest Dell notebook from the Vostro Series. It’s the thinnest and the lightest of the 14inch model. It weights at 1.54 kg and despite its ultrathin nature, the Vostro 5460 can deliver more power and portability for value-conscious customers and professionals.

According to Goo Peng Chan, Country Manager for Dell-ROAP and Brunei, “The Vostro line of notebooks has always focused on delivering computing performance in a portable package and today we are proud to bring that promise a step further.”

The latest Dell Vostro 5460 14″ is now available in Netcom branches in Brunei

So what does the Vostro 5460 features?

• 14 inch HD widescreen LED Truelife Display
• integrated stereo speakers, a subwoofer powered by HD audio with Waves Maxxaudio 4.0
• 720HD 1MP camera ideal for conferencing
• full-sized Chiclet keyboard
• 5 hours of battery life
• 802.11 b/g/n Wifi, Bluetooth 4.0 and RJ-45 Ethernet port
• Three USB ports including one for Power Share, SD card reader slot and HDMI port
• HD 4000 graphics or upgrade to 2GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT630M graphics
• 500 GB HDD, 32 GB SSD
• Comes with In-Home Service after Remote Diagnosis, Dell Backup and Recovery Manager
• Intel Anti-Theft Technology and Identity Protection Technology
• Operating system: Windows 8 or Linux Ubuntu

So basically I have listed the major specs of the Vostro 5460 and now you can also choose if you want the standard configuration which is the Intel Core i3 (2.5Ghz) or the Intel Core i5 (2.6Ghz up to 3.2 Ghz). Or do you want the Ultra book configuration?

Price wise, well, it starts at BND 999 and you can Netcom HQ (Dell Authorized Distributor) at 223 1563/4 or you can visit Netcom outlets in Brunei.

   

I’m already missing Singapore (apart from the haze) and I heard it was back again, the haze I meant. I was away for a week in Singapore for the official coverage of the recent CommunicAsia 2013 where Brunei delegates participated under the flagship of AITI. So apart from the coverage on the 4 day event, we managed to explore some areas of interest in Singapore.

Maybe it is about time that the Singapore Tourism Board use my channel (more on a regular basis) to help create the awareness of different places in Singapore. For all I know, the common word I hear from my friends and peers is Orchard, Orchard, Orchard… There are many places to go actually. It’s just that we are so accustomed to Orchard and I have to say it’s a pretty expensive city too.

Anyway, do enjoy the pictures I posted and I have another separate post on Singapore Art Museum and our experience for the Vocapeople performance in the next few days.

The night view of the Singapore flyer and Gardens by the Bay. By the way, did you know that the Singapore Flyer is under receivership after 5 years?

We paid a visit to Gardens by the Bay since we were staying at MBS hotel. It was my first visit here and we were fortunate to visit it before the haze got worse.

Billy and Sophia enjoyed their short visit to Gardens by the Bay

There’s an entrance fee if you want to enter the Flower Dome. You can check the costing by click on the image.

I kinda enjoyed the scenery at the Flower Dome

I found the +5 Degrees presentation quite interesting

Have you visited the LV building at MBS? It’s three floors high. And do you notice the eye of the sunset?

This is where you roll your coins and hope that they drop through that hole in the center

This was taken on 17th June and it was pretty hazy

This can come in handy after all the walking

Taxis were high in demand at Tower 1 and 3 at MBS especially during CommunicAsia

One of the best satays at Lau Pa Sat. I’m pretty sure there are many others.

We had an awesome dinner at Lau Pa Sat

I hardly come to Clarke Quay but we were on a music adventure spree then

My companions while listening to live band at Little Saigon, Clarke Quay

I love this band.. Perhaps the best band around Clarke Quay. Soothing to the ears and just nice. Keep it up, guys!!!

One entertaining ice cream vendor at Clarke Quay. Never tried it though

The central park of Clarke Quay (me thinks!)

We also tried out the live band music at Chijmes

Have you been to Bugis Village? Lots of great deals

The mole reader.. Most of the predictions are negatives. I guess that’s how they make business out of it.

I met up with Tiffany and Malcolm before I flew back home. Thanks guys for the company 😀

 

The ‘Teddy Bears’ Tea Party’ was back for the second time courtesy of Mabohai Shopping Complex and Event Solutions last weekend. Families were seen gathered at the first floor of the Mabohai Shopping Complex where they participated in the many activities that were organised for the event.

It was nothing short of cute as the first floor was transformed to a Gummibear-like space as kids were seen having fun with their parents and siblings.

“The first one was so popular. There were a lot of parents and kids who said that they had fun at the first event so we decided to have another one,” said Director of Event Solutions Aziemah Abdullah of the event.

The event began at 2pm and ended at 6pm during which parents get to have a relaxing afternoon with their kids or even become kids once again and have fun. They were treated to a free flow of coffee and tea, while the children enjoyed hot chocolate with sprinkles, along with assorted sandwiches and cupcakes.

Apart from being surrounded by teddy bears, the children also had activities to do, such as face painting, glass decoration, shirt decoration and event card making. In addition, each child at the tea party received a new teddy bear and a goodie bag.

The event was organised by Event Solutions and supported by Mabohai Shopping Complex. “This was made possible with the support of Mabohai Shopping Complex and Toys ‘R’ Us who have generously loaned us the teddy bears used for decoration,” said Aziemah.

The two-day event aspires to create a unique quality family bonding experience, and establishes the Mabohai Shopping Complex as a family-friendly centre. Text by Zatty Joanda of The Brunei Times.
