Let’s start  by say it’s been a long time since I blogged about tablet’s as I have been really busy well here a surprise I manage to get my hands on a Asus nexus 7 tablet to start off the screens is really good well runs most games I throw at it with smoothness and no lag .

cpu wise the quad core NVidia cpu pack a real punch in most bench marks it is equals head to head with the htc one x.

Ram wise 1gig it handle most games without a hitch or lag which can piss a lot of people off.

Storage  is 16gig I manage to put about 200 apps on it back what this thing lacks is a sd card which would really hit the sweet spot for most people as for me I like running my apps off a sd card which clears the bottle necks in the cpu and ram.

Camera was really disappointed don’t get me wrong hey the 1.2 mega pixel take really good pics but could of don’t with a rear faceing camera to.

Sound speaker wise I think the speakers in these give some lap tops speakers a run for their money sounds really lond good bass and voice tones .

Operating  system Android jelly bean 4.1 out of the box.

Asus just rolled out a android 4.2 for it a few weeks back

 

My thoughts

For a cheap a tablet that lack a sd card slot and a rear camera I think it worth a try you wont be disappointed the speed of the cpu and cpu will make you think your on high end tablet for it price the add on I recommend are the asus genuine nexus 7 full body case and a screen protector and your set for the road.

I give this about a 7/10 due to lack of sd card and rear camera .

 

Ebay meanings

New  – This term describes a phone that should have never been activated on a wireless plan or used in any way. This should mean that the phone comes in the original box and will appear to be brand new.

Manufacturer Refurbished - This is a term that refers to a previously used phone that has been refurbished either by the manufacturer or by an authorized refurbisher. The phone should appear to be new and function like it is new. The parts internally or externally were most likely changed with brand new parts. Any phone purchased online however should include a warranty. Even Brand New phones sometimes have issues and you want to be assured in the unlikely event of an issue that you are covered.

Seller Refurbished - A lot of sellers online will sometimes replace various parts of a used phone to make it function or look nicer cosmetically. If parts of a phone were changed, the seller will generally list the phone as seller refurbished. Some examples of parts that may have been changed would include the LCD Screen, the outside housing of the phone, a keyboard, etc. These phones should be fully functional, but make sure the phone is backed by some sort of warranty. Any issues with the phone will almost always be recognized within 30 days of receiving the phone.

Used - A phone in used condition is just as stated. The phone will be previously used. The actual phone itself can range from Like New condition because the person who previously used the phone took very good care of it, or the phone can be in a more beat up condition. The seller should indicate the cosmetic condition of the phone in this condition. We rate our used phones from Like New condition to fair condition. Our “Good” condition phones are generally the best value since the phone will have some minor wear and tear. If you don’t mind a few nicks and scratches – you can save a lot of money by buying a phone in Used condition. These phones should also all be fully functional and include some sort of warranty or guarantee from defects in the unlikely event something were to go wrong. Generally you should be confident if the seller has a good feedback rating and provides a 30 day warranty.

Ex demo

Ex demo stuff means stuff that had been you or on display in the shops in most case can be discount and a great price as they have been touched by the customers some are used to test or turn on outher then that there new.

My thoughts this is a really good toothbrush but it does not stack up as the Braun oral b Triumph the phillips toobrush itself made in china and the look are good but when you feel it feel cheaply made and slips out of your hand it is way more to run then the oral b tooth brush as the head are about $30 for a pack of 2 from most stores in the other hand you can pick up oral b Triumph heads for as low as $5 for 1 or 2 for $20 keep an eye out from time to time they have 4 for $30 around xmas time.

pro

Con

Very exspensive to run

Replacement heads are way over price

Chinese made tooth Brush

No smart guide

My Thoughts this a really good heater as I use one myself in my room take abit of time to heat up a room about half hour  max temp it can go to is about 30 degree’s which is fairly high for a average size bed room  I would recommend this to anyone looking for something that build with quality and reliably does not feel cheap but light enough to carry around price wise is about $500 upwards keeping mind your buying something made in Norway not china as you can tell from the way Nobo made it give the chinese made ones like omega and sunbeam a run for there money .

Takeing Care of your Braun shaver

Hi all this guild only apply to the Braun shavers that have a cleaning station .
well let’s start from the top what I have worked out in the 11 plus years of owning over 10 shavers most are the same in the cleaning and the cleaning stations .

Step one
make sure the head of the shaver rise abit before you put into charge and clean this the easy part just put it under running water for a few seconds then take it out .

Step two
as everyone know how much it is for the clean and renew fluid is it not that cheap here away I found to make it last longer when its not in use take it out and put the lid back on it make sure the lid on tight push down on it when ur ready to use it just pull the lid off and push it back into the cleaning staion this way saves a lot over a year I went from over 5 cartages a mouth to just over 2 a month that on heavy use .

Step 3

Make Sure The Power off before cleaning !!

The contact where they meet the shaver and the cleaning station this part can become really dirty and hard to clean in some case will not work but hold off getting a new one as it very easy to fix make sure you pull the power out of the cleaning staion before you do anything the easy way of cleaning both the shaver contacts and the contacts on the cleaning staion is to get steel wool every kitchen should have them then lighty scrub the contacts do not use water all any chemicals with it as it can damage both the shaver and cleaning station

A new cleaning staion for a Braun series 7 shaver is about  $200 dollars to replace this way easy most the time just needs a good clean from time to time .
