Zimmetro — It seems like it is becoming a trend by Asian Manufacturers to express their intentions directly. I kind of like it though; they do not beat around the bush they tell you as it is. For instance, Lenovo swore last week to take down Hewlett-Packard (HP) from 1st place in global PC industry by year-end 2012. Today we have another Asian giant Samsung point blanking Nokia that it will oust it from its 14-year dominance in the world’s mobile phone market.

Zimmetro — The other day I went to look for a pair of new headphones at a local tech shop. I had just come offline and happened to come across a review on a Lenovo B320, which I feel, is one piece of technology. While in the tech shop, I noticed they had one available and I do admit after having read the review and finally getting to see the real thing I was tempted to buy it. However, something else caught my eye, something more visually appealing than the B320. The Lenovo IdeaCentre A320 comes with a uniquely designed frame making it stand out among the rest.

Zimmetro — I always tell people that when I look at a car like the Toyota Mark X, I see more than just a car but character. I very much believe in the saying that the type of car you drive reveals your personality and what not. I for one I am not that of a big fan of sporty cars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis. I prefer something more easy going and not too showy. I like my BMWs and Mercedes but too a certain extent, personally I feel they shout out the “hey, look at me I am rich” status.
