Note Fan edition alternatives?

petelowyat — Wed, 13 Dec 2017 11:40:36 +0800

I have old iphone6 and thinking of getting an new one. I am tired of going through Apple store (profitable for them but not for us, I believe) and sick of not being able to do simple things quickly like adding in ringtones like an android phone can.
Is the Galaxy 8 a good idea or Note fan edition (with ms Word, Excel) good enough?

Out from the box, after plugging in I can see static lines across the screen. I moved the system to other places in the office and still has the same problem. I called Hp support but I hung up after waiting half an hour on my handphone. What could be the problem?

Ford Ranger worth to buy or other choices?

I tried the new model 2.8 Hilux and also 2.4 Hilux yesterday. Feeling strangely bumpy and excessive body roll. I ask the sales dude but got told to change from the all terrain to comfort tyres and the known problem will go away. Is it true?
How about the Ford Ranger? Now it come with reverse camera free and other things. Is it risky to get one? Is resale terrible? Should I reconsider other vehicles?

Camry Hybrid or BMW (F60) 3161 WHICH?

petelowyat — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 17:39:37 +0800

My sister is having a problem deciding which is a better idea. Can anyone help?
The Camry Hybrid and Bmw 316i demo(ckd) are 2015 models. Both are nearly the same price.
Camry is brand new with all the standard full features.
Bmw only have parking indicators not reverse camera and no back blinds for rear passengers like Camry.
The Bmw is slightly smaller in the cabin but because the seats are lower and well shaped, tall people can still sit comfortably.
Strangely the Bmw have more space in the boot than Camry.
Engine wise the Bmw comes with twin turbo and a 1.6 engine. The Camry is 2.5 plus a hybrid motor.

My sister is worried about reliability. She also wish to know in 5 years time which is the better deal?

thanks.

My budget is up to rm3000. I seen models from Electrolux, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, LG, Bosch and Beko.

Efficient electricity consumption is important and solid doors like long lasting rubber seals are all very important.

Please recommend me some models which are easy to maintain, thank you.
