This is a netbook (HP MINI 110-3004TU) which you can get it free from the streamyx UniPack package. I signed up with the 1Mbps which just cost me RM68 and is much more cheaper than normal package which is RM88. Besides getting a netbook, you will get a WiFi modem from them. All above package is only applicable to collage / University students. In order to apply for this package, you need to terminate your current internet usage for around 2 days to install the new package (depends on your area).

The spec of it :

• A netbook obviously
• Intel Atom N475 Processor (1.83GHz)
• 250GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive
• 1024MB DD2 SDRAM <<<>
• Genuie Window 7 Starter (32-bit)
• HP quick Web
• Webcam
• 10'1 Anti-glare LED Display
• Intel graphic media accelerator 3150 shared with graphic memory
• 802.1 b/g/n WLAN & Bluetooth
• 2-in-1 Digital Media Reader
• 3-cell 27WHr Lithium-Ion Battery
• THE WORST THING : IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY DVD/CD Driver.

Conclusion. For me as a laptop user, I really disagree for spending money to purchase a netbook but if it is free take it. My point of view is a netbook does not worth what you pay for them. I would be rather to spend another 800-1000 buks to purchase a laptop.

The fact is I have really enjoy most horror games like resident evil, L4D1n2 mostly because I want to get those sudden scared feeling on myself. So recently I have ventured myself on Electronic Arts Space skräckis Dead Space. And it was the nicest horror game that win most of the horror games that I play on its background sound. Background sound actually also plays an important role in a game as Dead Space the background sound that make you always feel like you always be in danger situation where alien may attack you suddenly. This game is mainly about the role of engineer Isaac Clarke (the player,you) travels to the wrecked spaceship USG Ishimura alone as 4 crews with you in the beginning 2 had dead and 2 had escape and went different direction that u went. During the adventure time must not only find out what has happened to the ship, but you needed to fight against the so-called nekromorferna. It can be easy to kill by using the weapons to take off the limbs as arms, legs and tentacles, in order finally to make the process short with the remaining residues.This really train a lot on your aiming skill as the necromorfera some times will approach your suddenly. Furthermore, even the basic weapons, so learn to use stasis to slow down time and kinesi to picking up objects, which can pick up any object like the dead body of nekromorfera or boxes and throw or hold as you wish. Beyond that it is really nice and it looks seriously cool in his spacesuit, the Electronic Arts Redwood Shores studio used a lot of interesting approaches. Instead of health bars and arms ammunition on the screen such as seen directly on the player's back panel and on the actual weapons. All communication is managed via holographic video calls, and even map and equipment are also shown in such a manner, which also means that you must look up things in real time, which increases stress levels in the time-pressed situations and there is no pause game during combat mode. The new feature of the game that I like the most is the holographic map system, which with a quick touch of a laser light from the suit’s glove which shows in which direction you should go. It also functions logically because you actually find yourself on a ship with an internal navigation system. But I like the most because it gives a simple hint to where to go next, which works well given the fact that Dead Space is still incredibly linear. So have a try on it. Sorry for the blur image that i upload due to i used my phone to capture it with my phone and this images were took in the mid of the night as i playing this game to gain the horror feeling.

Actually this is the main problem that will face by many Window 7 users as comes to gaming time. You may find the situation where all the game that you play will have two black side bar on the right and left of the screen when the game start. This is petty annoying when the gaming screen is squeezed into small size. I had faced this problem in last year when the first I installed window7 ultimate 7600 RTM. That time, I had went through many webs that I had Google for a solution for it. There are solution out there but mostly is for the ATI Radeon graphic card and not Nvidia or else for Dota they will advice your to change the resolution through the regedit. So what you need to do is go this link http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=en-us or this http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us to get a suitable and updated driver for your graphic card (Nvidia). Followed by, install the driver after the download is finish and reboot your com. After the reboot, right click on your desktop and choose Nvidia CP, select 'change flat panel scaling' and choose 'use my display's built-in-scaling' and now the resolution prob is solved. If not working try this web - http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=153943. So if there is any other solution can be share, leave a comment.

It was a great thing that i install such a great OS compare to the previous OS that I had been use or installed before. Last 3 month which is Oct, i had tried to get Window 7 Ultimate 7600RTM version. The sound was so great but eventually the OS is not stable enough that make the user feel like no confident on it. So today I tell myself to get a window7 professional version. After installing it, there is no doubt that window 7 is still better compare to VISTA on their speed, graphic and so on.
