2009-08-25T10:55:00.011+08:00

I'v hide the Intel & Microsoft original stickers underneath.

2 added stickers is a brilliant idea for easier touching while your eyes
staring at the screen!

Can you see the clothing texture?

Say good bye to the dull black cover of my Acer.

Retro-style flower printing is one of my favorite design overall.

The customization of my notebook has done! Just a few steps to finish it,
very easy. Hopes you can show me your works too!

How to apply Notebook Skin?

2009-08-24T11:45:00.009+08:00

o(∩_∩)o... Tech Hypermart has brought in various designs of Notebook Skins lately.

I'm not going to waste my time dreaming already, let's start our notebook make-up!

Tools prepared before we get started:

Sharp cutter & scissor, Cutting Pad (or a thick magazine will do), Pen, Ruler, Adhesive tape, Cleaning Cloth, My Card (or any card like credit card or ATM card)......Sorry that I'v forgot to include all tools in this image.

Step 1: Clean your notebook surface with cleaning cloth. This is important to prevent bubbles when applying the skin.

Step 2: Measure & Trim-to-fit your notebook size.

Since I'm doing it with the 12" Acer laptop, I have to cut out the extra border. Ensure the measurement is right-fit-to your laptop, and draw the lines behind the notebook skin for fine cut edges.

Advise for trimming: Don't cut Exactly-fit-size at the begining. Try to leave some extra space (about 1-2mm) to avoid over crop.

Okie, it looks fitting well after a few times trimming. I shall start to stick it now!

Step 3: Fix the laptop skin on top of the laptop with adhesive tape.

Step 4: Peel off the white background of notebook skin's sticker and cut it into half.

Step 5: Wipe over the skin slowly (to avoid bubbles) with my ISETAN member card.

Repeat step 4 & 5 to finish the other half side.

Note:
If bubbles appeared or you want to reposition
the skin, simply pull up the desired section and reapply.

Step 6: Pressures the border with finger tips.

Yay! 80% Finished!
The unfinished 20% is the Keypad surrounding surface.

I'll post the finished make-over pictures later. Keep track on my blog!

T-PC X11A (White) Netbook: Qing-Hwa Porcelain (china) Designs

2009-08-20T13:05:00.007+08:00

Today's Topic: Qing-Hwa Porcelain (china)

For the past 10-years, China had showed the world of their culture, civilization and modernlization. The 2008 Olympic games held in BeiJing was one of the most memorable & historic event ever.

There is no doubt that the western world has great interest in the enchanted yet mystery beauty of the orientals art & culture. And I think after the 2008 Olympic Games, the flames has rise to the highest level. As we can see the whole world is fascinated with chinese traditional art and turning all kind of chinese element into fashion.

Qing-Hwa Porcelain (China) , is one of the most popular element used in fashion industries. The vivid blue paints on white-based porcelain represent the beauty of silence & pure, I might say that kind of beauty are more to nature, and more to Zen.

Even the extraordinary fashion designer John Galliano has creat his masterpiece of luxury Qing-Hwa gown, for the Christion Dior Spring 2009 Haute Couture in Paris.

John Galliano wasn't the 1st and not the only fashion designer who inspired by chinese porcelain. Roberto Cavalli had released the Qing-Hwa collection in the early year of 2005. Guess what, our favourite spice girl - Victoria wore it too.

She's adorable and gorgeous!

Why I'm so excited for Qing-Hwa porcelain? Hrm...is that something to do with Jay Chou's famous song "青花瓷" ? No...not really....that is because of these......

The new arrivals of Tech Hypermart.Com. This is a brand new 11.1" ultra-light & thin netbook from T-PC series, model: X11A (white). X11A is an OEM netbook, original released from Olevia to the HongKong market. The design is truely inspired by Qing-Hwa porcelain and I love it so much! The high-end of fashionably taste was never expected (for me) and it's rock!

11.1" inch Display:

What makes T-PC X11A differ from a normal 7"-10.1" Netbook/UMPC, was the 11.1"
Hi-Def (1,366 x 768 resolution) LED TFT WideScreen. It's 16:9 screen displays wider, for easier web browsing.

Weighing 1.58 kg, it's definately not the lightest netbook we have in store (click to check out new released Acer Aspire One, weight only 1.35kg) , but it's absolutely a good choice for cost-conscious user.

Just like an ordinary netbook, T-PC X11A features 160GB HDD (WesternDigital), 1GB DDR2 RAM, powered by Intel Atom N270 processor (1.6GHz, 512K Cache, 533 MHz FSB) & Intel 945GSE Chipset, support WiFi 802.11b/g, with 1.3 megapixel webcam & built-in Mic.
