After the WWDC last week, watchOS has announced, there is a watchKit for developers. We can build apps on running appleWatch. Moreover, there is AndroidWear in the market for some time, On 2007, Apple released iPhone. It opens a market for independent developers to build apps running on phones. That was a game changer! The most of people have access to software applications in anywhere. Now, that is the second level, this is a wearable smart device. The users can have easier access to software applications. That will be another big changes

I bought stream 13 in Hong Kong for only HKD$2100. Well, that is not good enough to be a develop box. However, that is very lightweight(around 1.5kg), long battery life and inexpensive. That is very suitable to carry around. Although that is not very powerful, it is still good enough to remote desktop to my pc at our office for work and a server in a data center. I used it to do a few times for restarting servers. It already saved me a number of times to drive back to home. The fuel and time has already paid the cost to buy this laptop!

Yesterday, I setup a new Core i3 PC with 4GB RAM for a client. That is not a good specification for a developer use. However, I found it is faster than the most of Core i5 PCs in my office, they are just one generation older.

A week ago, I bought a budget laptop. It was only HKD$2010. That is only a bit more expensive than a tablet, so I don't expect much. Well, actually it offered a lot. It comes with Windows 8.1 and 1 year subscription of Office 365 + 1TB One Drive. That is Windows 8.1, not Chrome OS or Android, a real PC os. I am very happy about in the software. It hasIntel Celeron N2840 2.16 GHz and 2GB RAM. Not too bad Hardware. I think their storage is not enough. That is only 32 GB eMMC. Windows 8.1+ Office 365 will used around 10GB. Not many space left, so I bought a 16GB microSD for this. In addition, they are eMMC, which is similar speed of SD card, much slower than SDD. For its case, that is plastic, so it can have just 1.5KG weight. It has Blue or Pink Color, that is very stylish.
In conclusion, that is value for money. Office 365 runs in this box very well, not too slow. I even run sharpdevelop in this box for coding. Moreover, its weight is only 1.5KG. I brought it to another places a lot! I love this laptop! Plus, it looks cool!

My S3 Phone is about 2 years ago. But its battery life is very short, that is about 2 hours long. I tried to uninstall apps and kills apps. These actions cannot help. Finally, during my recent trip to Hong Kong, I bought a new battery in Golden Shopping Center for $129. The problem is solved, I used it for more than 2 weeks, its battery life can last for about 6 hours.
