Sony Spanish Language VAIO


The number of bilingual persons, especially Spanish speakers, in the United States is on the rise. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 31 million U.S. citizens older than five speak Spanish at home. That number does not include the large number of migrant workers, permanent residents, and those here on student or work visas who also primarily speak Spanish. Anyone who has ever taken a foreign language class that has required a typewritten or word- processed paper knows how difficult typing it on a standard-English computer can be. That’s why Sony has introduced its first Spanish language PC in the United States. The new Spanish-version FJ en Español notebook computer is based off of Sony’s popular VAIO FJ series.

Cooler Master NotePal


Laptops are amazing little machines, they allow us to live a life of mobility, and convenience. But if you are an avid laptop user you know how hot they can get, especially if your laptop is in your lap. If this has ever been a problem for you, there is a perfect and simple solution: The Cooler Master NotePal, made of high quality aluminum cooler, is designed for 15-17 inch laptops and even for Apple's widescreens and is designed to greatly reduce the temperature of a laptop. The NotePal reduces the heat produced by a laptop with twin 2.8 inch fans which are positioned beneath the hard disk drive and battery. These fans help facilitate airflow around your laptop, by shielding it from any direct heat, all at a relatively quiet noise level of 21 dBA to help create stable operation and increase the lifespan of your computer. And you won’t have to worry about the fans burning out quickly. The fans on the NotePal have a rated life span of 30,000 hours so the NotePal will be around for quite some time to help keep your laptop cool.
