Take note if you are travelling on these airlines/flying from or in transit from these airports to UK and US. Which airports are involved? The U.S. ban cover 10 airports, including major global hubs such as Dubai. The full list: Cairo, Egypt; Dubai and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Istanbul, Turkey; Doha, Qatar; Amman, Jordan; Kuwait City; Casablanca, Morocco; and Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The U.K. list is shorter. It covers all inbound flights from Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia but omits airports such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. Which airlines are affected? The nine airlines that operate direct flights to the U.S. from affected airports are Egyptair, Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways, Kuwait Airways, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Turkish Airlines. The U.K. restrictions apply to 14 airlines: British Airways, EasyJet, Jet2.com, Monarch, Thomas Cook, Thomson, Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airways, Atlas-Global Airlines, Middle East Airlines, Egyptair, Royal Jordanian, Tunis Air and Saudia. Which devices are banned? Smartphones will still be allowed. But passengers will have to check in any electronic devices bigger than that. That includes laptops, cameras, gaming devices and tablets such as iPads. http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/21/news/airline-electronics-ban-explainer/

The IT show starts today, and I'm thinking of getting one. I'm a gamer, but I think I'd like a bit of mobility and utility. Buying a laptop may end up saving me more money as I won't have to buy a media center when and if I do get a HD TV for watching movie on. I was originally dead set on getting an Asus, but then I can across this: http://www.bootstrike.com/itfairsg/pcshow2...ochure-leaflet/ The 5820TG-432G50Mn. An I5, with a decent graphics card, according to http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html , 4GB RAM and only $1400. Seems like a steal. The closest Asus has to offer is this: http://www.bootstrike.com/itfairsg/pcshow2...ochure-leaflet/ Slightly better processor, but a much weaker graphics card. And 14". I'm a man, I don't mind my things being bigger and heavier (*hint hint*) The Acer also seem to have better free gifts... But I'm worried about the reliability, because I've heard people complaining about Acer overheating or motherboard dying.....

Whether possible or not, need to be careful of what we put in our cars ... Laptop kills woman in car accident

ABOUT 85,000 people in the Asia-Pacific region, including Singapore, are carrying Sony laptop computers which are reportedly in danger of overheating. The Japanese electronics giant yesterday told buyers of its Vaio TZ series through its websites that a 'limited' number of its laptops may 'in rare cases, generate heat around the DC (direct current) jack inlet and frame of LCD screen, which creates the potential of deformation of the plastic casing'. Sony did not have a breakdown of figures for how many people in Singapore are affected, but it is known that there are nine models under this series that have been sold here between May 2007 and August this year. In all, about 440,000 laptops in 19 models are affected worldwide, and there are seven known reported cases of 'minor burns', a spokesman said. Customers who want to check if their notebook computers are affected can go to http://www.sony.com.sg/support/ announcement/274038. The company will inspect and repair affected models for free. Branded also hav this Problem

Two days ago, I tried unsuccessfully to connect my Acer laptop to my 40" Samsung LCD TV, which I bought for more than six months ago -- so it's not the latest model. Thinking that the PC input has malfunctioned, I called for warranty service the following morning. To my pleasant surprise, they could attend to me on the next day -- which is today. Good service, I must say! When the guys came and saw my Acer laptop, one of them mentioned to his colleague that they had a similar problem with another customer. Anyway, when they couldn't get my laptop to work on the TV, they used theirs to verify that the PC input was OK -- it was. Upon further prompting, I learnt that it seemed only Acer laptops have this problem with LCD TV. By the way, my laptop is using the ATI Mobility Radeon X700 graphic card. I didn't find out which card the other customer was using. I was too distraught with the finding. Sigh...

I know salvation army will be everyone's answer. however i find them too niao because they also choose the type of donations ppl give. Heard that there are some companies out there who collect and export to poor countries to sell. Anyone knows?
