Sony Playstation Vita 3G / WiFi

Being a longtime Playstation Portable fan, I recently joined the ranks of being a new owner of it's successor, the PS Vita. The PS Vita physically resembles the Playstation Portable from almost 8 years ago, but features dramatic technological improvements such as a 5 inch OLED touchscreen display, available 3G wireless capabilities (as in my version), front and rear cameras built right in, and the benefit of a quad core processor to rival its console stablemate, the PS3, in computing power. Sony recently made their premium online service Playstation Plus available for Vita owners, featuring a host of flagship downloadable game titles available for free for subscribers. This truly sweetens the deal of being a new PS Vita owner, and tipped the decision in favor of buying one for myself. :)

Samsung Chromebook Unboxing

I ordered a Google Chromebook a couple days after it was introduced in late October, and fast forward to the second week of November, long story short, I finally have my hands on very own Samsung Google Chromebook. I was very intrigued by the first models introduced over a year ago but the retail price always seemed a bit high for me to dip my toes into the world of purely 'Cloud' computing, the paradigm championed by the Chromebook. When this sleek little number was introduced with the attractive price tag of only $249, I knew I had to nab one for myself. I'm quite impressed with the build quality of the system despite the all-plastic shell, and hope this little guy lasts as long as the 2 years of complimentary 100GB Google Drive storage provided free with device. All in all, a sleek and tidy computing package that almost looks like a head turning new model from another computer company who shall remain unnamed. :)
