Current Obsessions : Electronics

I've been going through a technology frenzy lately. I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop because I was in dire needs of a new one. My old one was lagging like no tomorrow. Computer lag irritates me.

Since I'm going overseas next month (can't wait!!), I've been itching to buy the Olympus xz-1. Photos are a must for overseas holidays. Sadly, I'm not going for tourist purposes, just visiting the relos and *drum rolls* SHOPPING. Well, that's no shock. Hey, any holiday is worth looking forward to, I'm not complaining!


From the sample photos and reviews I've seen, it seems to take fantastic SLR quality photos all in one compact camera. But it does come at a price, retailing at around $500, its not a friendly gesture to your wallet, especially if you're not a camera enthusiast, like myself. However, that's not going to stop me. I've been eye-balling this camera for months!

Since technology is increasing at an ever so fast pace, trends come and go like fashion trends. However technology is evolving rapidly and there is a constant demand for newer and exciting innovations. Whereas fashion trends just go in cycles, with a bit of innovation there as well. Tablets have currently been the technological trend with many brands of tablets on the market since the release of the Apple iPad.

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, Asus's highly anticipated Andriod tablet, which is going to be officially released to the public on November 9 2011 has caught my eye. With its lightweight design, amazing features and exceptional battery-life, this fascinating piece of technology has totally won me over. Pricing is still unknown. I'm seriously going to buy this when I go to Hong Kong!



With all these electronics I want to buy, my bank account is not going to look too happy at the end of this year. I don't think I've EVER bought that many electronics in one year EVER.

1. Blackberry Bold 9780 outright $AUD 480 (July 2011)
2. Toshiba Satellite C665 $AUD 598 (October 2011)
3. Olympus xz-1  $AUD 479 (Will buy in mid-November 2011)
4. Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, price unknown, hopefully it's around $AUD 499 (Will 
    buy in HK early December 2011)
