Gadget Recommendation: Asus Eee PC 1005P Seashell

Here’s the perfect gadget for you student nurse, nurses, medical technologists, and all those in the medical profession: the Asus Eee PC 1005P Seashell. It’s compact and lightweight with all the functionality you need for work and entertainment.

The 1005P runs on an Intel Atom N450 processor, with an ASUS Super Hybrid Engine technology and an Express Gate. That means you can multi-task: work on your reports and presentations while checking your social networks (*ehem*FACEBOOK*ehem*) and listening to music. You can do all these and more without even plugging in the unit for several hours. The 6 cell battery can last to as long as 11 hours.

And it has a 10.1″ LED display, an ergonomic keyboard, and a multi-touch touchpad. It weighs only 1.27 kilograms even with a 6 cell battery.

Here are the other specs:

• Operating System: Genuine Windows 7 Starter

• Display: 10.1″ LED Backlight WSVGA Screen (1024 x 600)

• CPU & Chipset: Intel Atom Pineview-M N450

• Memory: DDR2 SO-DIMM 1 GB (maximum to 2 GB)

• Wireless Data Network: WLAN 802.11 b/g/n @ 2.4 GHz*; Bluetooth 2.1 EDR* (*subject to availability)

• Camera: 0.3 Megapixel

• Audio: Hi-Definition Audio; CODEC Stereo Speaker; Digital microphone

• Input/Output: 1 VGA Connector; 3 USB 2.0; 1 LAN RH-45; 2 Audio Jack (Head Phone/Microphone In)

• Card Reader: MMC/SD (SDHC)

• Battery: 11 hours on 6 cells, 48 W/h*; 5 hours on 3 cells 23 W/h (subject to system configuration and usage)

• Dimensions: 262 x 178 x 25.9 ~ 36.5 mm

• Weight: 1.27 kg with a 6 cell battery; 1.1 kg with a 3 cell battery

• Color: Black, White, Blue, or Pink (In Mold Roller)

Best thing about this lightweight high performance netbook? It’s only PhP19,900 (with a Windows 7 Starter OS and a 250GB hard disk) and PhP18,500 (with no OS but with a 320 GB hard disk). So you won’t go broke buying this powerful gadget for your school, work and entertainment needs.

Plus Asus Ph   has a promo until August 31, 2010. You get a free ODD, an Asus Slim External DVD-RW drive, when you buy an Asus Eee PC 1005P.

Red Trellis Seafood Garden's Anniversary Seafood Buffet

To highlight their first year of being in the restaurant business, Red Trellis Seafood Restaurant will be having their Grand Seafood All-You-Can-Eat on August 21, 2010.  For only P350 per person, patrons can enjoy the best of Red Trellis' offerings during the restaurant's anniversary buffet.

I must say the residents of General Santos City are really lucky because they don't have to travel far in order to feast on Red Trellis' best-selling dishes.  I dined at the restaurant once and oh boy, I must say their Crabs in Coconut Milk is heavenly.  And to borrow what one of my companions said during that unforgettable dinner, "Sauce pa lang, ulam na!"  And I most definitely agree  because  I haven't tasted anything like it before.  Dining at Red Trellis is sheer pleasure!

As a way of thanking their very loyal clients, Red Trellis Seafood Garden  will be raffling off 10 gift certificates worth P1,000.00 each. The raffle will be during the anniversary buffet on August 21, 2010 at 7pm.

For inquiries and reservations, visit Red Trellis Seafood Garden at Tiongson Ext. Corner Calina Street, Lagao, General Santos City.  Or you may contact them through 083-302-CRAB (2722) or visit their page on Facebook.
