What do you guys think of these laptop bags with their own strollers or wheels? I’ve been seeing a lot of them when I look around for laptop bags to feature and I have mixed feelings about them.

Vertical Laptop Wheeler Features:

• Hand crafted from durable Italian leather
• Fits laptops upto 15 inches
• Has a large front pocket and an open back pocket for papers and travel documents

I guess I find it weird that you pull your laptop around like a luggage but I guess if you were a jet setter or someone who travels a lot, a laptop with its own stroller can be really convenient. After all, non-netbook laptops aare quite heavy especially if you have to carry it around for a long time. My 15 inch MacBook Pro is quite heavy, I can attest to that!

• Intel Core i3, up to 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost (i5 processor only)

The Iridescent Blue model has a hot pink keyboard, so I’m not sure if the other models come in two-toned models as well. I think a black laptop with hot pink keyboard would be oh-so-purty! It’s really awesome that gadget manufacturers nowadays are getting more and more fashionable. Yay to colorful things!

Your techy and geeky girlfriend, wife or love interest might be looking for an external hard drive to store all her files so if you’re looking for a recommendation, I would probably put the Buffalo MiniStation Cobalt Portable Hard Drive on that recommendation list.

For one thing, its available in 3 different colors: gold, pink and blue (for the men, but there are some women who like blue, too!).

Buffalo MiniStation Cobalt Portable Hard Drive features:

• Has the Memeo AutoSync software for PCs and Macs to automatically sync your MiniStation with  your PC or Mac.
• Also has the SecureLock Mobile Application to protect your file’s privacy
• If you have a wireless router, you can share your music, photos, videos and other files with other users wirelessly.
• Available in 250GB, 320 GB and 500GB capacity

Hmmm, just the mere fact that you can transfer and access files wirelessly makes me want to own one myself. I love my WD Passport, but being the lazy slug that I am, I find it troublesome to keep on plugging and unplugging the hard drive via the USB when I want to access files on the external HD. Hehe.

Casio’s New Baby-G goes green… literally! The Casio BGR300GR-3 is a part of Casio’s “Go Green” collection which is coming out this Spring 2010. It will be coming out in this unique shade of green and I can’t decide whether its lime green, or sea-green. Either way, I think that shade of green is an acquired taste, hehe. Not my cup of tea, but it’s cute though!

Anyway, aside from the green color, Casio is also going green by making their products come in recyclable boxes to help in saving the environment. Their new upcoming watches will also use the Tough Solar Technology which increases battery life when exposed to sunlight. This will decrease the need for battery replacements, therefore decreasing hazardous wastes.

The Casio BGR300GR-3 will be available at select Macy’s Store and online (www.baby-g.com) this coming march with a price tag of $110.

Making a decision about anything, especially about the simple things like where to eat, is one of the greatest and most stressful problems I encounter everyday.

For example, every after yoga class my friends and I spend a good 10-15 minutes trying to decide where to eat. And that’s a bad thing because we’d be wasting precious minutes since most of the restaurants are about to close by the time we’re done.

I’ve always joked around that we should have a those goldfish bowls filled with choices of where to eat and just randomly pick one everyday. Then just yesterday I realize that’s so low-tech of me! I then had an epiphany and thought to myself, “Hey, I’m sure there’s an iPhone app that does that!”

And for sure, there is! I found this really nice app on the iTunes App Store called the Randomizer Wheel. It’s pretty easy to use. You make a list, then add choices to it. When you’re done, you flick the wheel and it randomly chooses an item from the list! No more head aches and no more stress, yay! Randomizer Wheel is LAW! Haha.

You can make multiple list, so you can use it in different scenarios and occasions.

Hello, February! And to greet the month of hearts, there’s nothing more appropriate than to feature a red laptop bag!

You know, I just realized that it’s actually not that easy to look for the perfect red laptop bag. It took me awhile (around an hour or so) to find a red laptop bag that’s nice enough to feature.

While there are a LOT of red laptop bags out there, there are only a few that met my standards. Some were too red, others were too pale. Some are just downright ugly in terms of of aesthetics. Red is such a ‘loud’ color that most of the times, it’s best to pair it with a simple and chic design.

Hence, my pick for today’s Laptop Bag Mondays is this simple and chic red Slim Cargo laptop bag from Acme Made. I’ve been drooling over this laptop bag since forever (in another design) but it’s just really way out of my budget!

It’s around $250. Yaiks! But rest assured though, you get what you pay for since this laptop bag is made of high quality materials and has very good craftsmanship.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you’re on a budget, one of the most romantic yet cost-free things to do for Valentine’s Day is to cook for your significant other!

If you plan to give them a breakfast in bed kind of thing, then this Heart Egg Molder is a good gadget to have in the kitchen! Pretty cute, huh?

I’m not sure how this would work though if your significant other prefers their eggs to be cooked hard boiled style, haha! Otherwise, just force him or her to eat either sunny-side up or scrambled, haha! It’s the thought and effort that counts!

I haz a new toy! Guess what it is! *points to the photo above*

Yay, you got that right, it’s the new limited edition Hello Kitty Instax Mini 25! I’m still giddy-happy so here I am posting about it! This awesome little gadget is given by the fiance. I personally think it’s a bribery of some sort. Maybe to make up for the sad, lonely nights he made me go thru when he was in Taiwan last week for a business trip, hehe.

Well, I won’t complain because I totally looooove it. I have an obsession with Polaroids and instant films. Don’t get me wrong, digital cameras are probably one of the best inventions of all time, but there’s just something really nostalgic with analog film photos!

Anyway, the Hello Kitty Instax Mini 25 package comes with the following:

• a white Hello Kitty Instax Mini camera
• 2 x Panasonic CR2 Lithium batteries
• a close-up lens for focusing from 35cm
• a manual (which unfortunately isn’t in English!) and a little booklet
• a sheet of Hello Kitty stickers
• and a red strap

I’m not sure if it came with any Instax Mini films. There wasn’t any included in the box, but the fiance bought me 2 boxes of 10s (I wish he bought more… hehe!)

I’ve used up 3 shots already and I’m saving the other shots when a special occasion comes up! Like what my sister said, “Make the shots count!”

Where to buy: Japan Gadget Shop / Amazon
Price: around $150 (but I’m pretending I don’t know how much it costs, hehe)

the box is super cute, too!

Looking for an affordable gift for your man this coming Valentine’s Day? Well, this F1 Race Car Flash Drive is a good gift to give, especially those who are into cars and F1 racing. It’s safe to assume that 80% of the male population are into that, right?

The casing of the USB drive is made of all-metal and has a 16GB capacity. That is a good enough excuse to buy ths USB flash drive!

Imagine all the date you can put in 16GB! Not a lot of people own 16GB flash drives. It seems like most people are still toting around 8GB kinds.

But anyway, so there, if you’re looking for a gift idea for the boyfie, you might want to look at this! Not exactly the romantic gift you’re looking for, but I think any guy would appreciate a techie gadget for their significant other.
