The Devil has been Unleashed!!!

The PowerColor Devil 13 Radeon HD 7990 6GB GDDR5

www.powercolor.com

One of the leading graphics card manufacturing company has created a powerful graphics card available in the market today. PowerColor named it Devil 13, the devil 13 is now the flagship product of powercolor and the first one to release this graphics card ahead of time. The company released this monster before AMD (processor and graphics card manufacturing company) had released their own. The HD 7990 series is not yet in the line of AMD graphics card but it was soon to be released, PowerColor took one step ahead and released their own. On the day of its news or gossip, a lot of consumers said that this one is a hoax since AMD hasnt released one yet.

By the time of its release, a lot of consumers ordered this one and some had one step ahead and did an unboxing and review of the product. The Devil 13 is not a very cheap graphics card by the way, this one costs a whopping $999 - $1400 depending on the place where you live or located, $999 in the US and $1399 in Aus.

Now, lets look at its specs and see what this little devil has. (specs by powercolor.com)

I have been an avid collector of Razer peripherals since 3 years ago, my very Razer product was the Razer Sphex, I gave the Razer Sphex to my cousin. after I bought the Razer Sphex and giving it to my cousin, I bought the Razer Orochi, after the Orochi, it goes on and on, to cut the long story short, here is the list of what I have.

My reasons for buying Razer peripherals:

Design

Technology

Features

Everytime I visit some computer shop here in the Philippines, I always hear this, "Why is that, Razer is expensive?", I would like to answer that question. Razer is expensive because of three things; Technology, Durability, & Design.

Technology: Razer has put and used a lot of technology that are available and also not available in the market today, Razer has the most advance peripherals out there in market.

Durability: Razer has used durable products that they use in order to manufacture their products, they also made it to withstand certain abuse for a very long time, normal products that are available out there may fail for a short period of time but not Razer.

Design: Razer has designed their products to be outstanding and worth the money you spend on it, their design is more radical and cool unlike any other brands out there.

This three reasons are my views on why it is expensive.

BTW, before my blog ends, I would like to share my own set-up / battle station.

Poll watch, do you like Alienware to be available here in the Philippines? Yes or No?

Why choose Acer!!!

My second Blog!!!

First of all, I am an Acer user, before I was using a different model/maker but then I switched to Acer due to many reasons. My blog right now contains some of the things why I recommend Acer to you people because:

Acer produces great computer and laptops with great specs but with less or reasonable price.

Acer has a-lot of model ranges specifically designed to suit the consumer needs.

Acer has a-lot of field office in many countries with 24/7 tech support.

Light-weight and slim but carries enough or great power (depends on the model).

The "first and only" in the regular consumer electronics provider that offers a dual graphics card on board.

Produces a gaming grade with less or reasonable price for the masses.

Right now, I am using an Acer Aspire 4745g with and i3-330m processor and an ATi Mobility Radeon HD

5470 512mb. I can say that this model can perform a-lot of things for you, even for gaming or just plain use.

I also installed a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game in it and performs superb (with max setting).

Models of Acer that I recommend:

Acer Aspire AS4750G-2312G50Mnkk - P29,990.00

Acer Aspire AS4750G-2412G64Mnbb - P34,900.00

Acer Aspire AS5745DG-5564G75Bnks - P75,900.00 (pricey, yes / specs, great / 15.6")

For sure again, Acer computers are way more cheaper in the US. There is this model of Acer that I wish I could

try and own one, but, the laptop that I am using right now will be my first and last because I cant afford to buy another one. the is 

Acer’s new Ethos 8950G-9839 uses AMD’s new Mobility Radeon HD 6850, which it pairs with a Core i7-2630QM, 8GB of RAM, 750GB hard drive, and 18.4-inch LED-backlit display, VERDICT = SWEET / AWESOME / COOL / GREAT, Price for me, not so great or in short, cant afford. (I hope I receive one for testing or even as a graduation gift..=) )

Also, wait for their new model called Acer Iconia. Iconia features a dual panel in which is a multi-touch panel.
