Prissy Little Chloe

Rating: 4.5/5 With the Alienware 2016 OLED display model on the way, I found it fitting to review the unit as a whole--and my thoughts on who this competitive little machine is for. Price Let's start with the basics; the Alienware 13 comes in multiple configurations, starting at $999 USD and goes upwards $2000 USD. Design The Alienware 13 has a striking carbonfiber-like enclosure and grooves that look like something off a Sci-Fi set. The chassis is very smooth and comfortable to rest your palms on while typing. The keyboard is evenly backlit and keys spring nicely, (and in any color and gradient variation I must add, but much more on that in a bit.) The Alienware 13 is pretty slim for a gaming notebook, at just around an inch thick closed; it's also a very portable notebook, at about 2 kilos or 4.5 lbs in weight. Touchpad The touchpad is another situation entirely; it doesn't feel smooth in comparison to the chassis or ...

Hotline Bling First off, a very Happy New Year to everyone! Let's make something of this brand-new wonderful fresh start!  Sappy motivational cliches aside, on Boxing Day - which is something of a Canadian Black Friday - having been sick of my painfully-slow Galaxy Note 3, I've had for the past two years (not my choice, it was a gift from my dad so I had to take it!), I picked up the new 6s; the last one at Best Buy! 16 GB, black and here's what I think of it. Having owned only iPhones all throughout my cellular life - until my last Android phone - I decided iOS is the only platform for me. As I wrote in an earlier article, with the android, you can really make the device your own. No two are alike. There are several brands offering phones running Google Android's 5.1 Popsicle or Krispy Kreme or whatever version is out now.  With Apple - there's only the iPhone. So every phone essentially looks the same. Yeah the iPhone has some insane cases available, ...

This  or that? I used iOS 5 years before I got an android. It was a gift, actually - a Galaxy Note 3 that I've had for two years. I had an iPhone 5 before (I don't know where it is now) and loved it. iMessage, FaceTime, the camera, the display, all my apps and games - even unlocking the phone was fun (I'm lonely okay?) I never thought I could part from Apple's platform - then I got an Android for Christmas. I didn't ask for one, but my dad got the same phone and thoughtfully decided to get me one too. So, I've been stuck with it for two years - and I never thought I'd say this, but it's perfect for me! The stylus mostly. I'm an artist, so being able to write and sketch ideas on the go is amazing ; it's like a modern day Palm Pilot. I have (almost) the same apps as my iPhone (sans GTA III, Mass Effect Infiltrator and all my zombies games, unfortunately.) But which do I like better and who should go with what? I think...
