My Month with a Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite Touch Screen Laptop

Samsung Book 9 Lite

Being part of the Imagelogger program has some additional perks beyond the cameras. I was asked if I wanted to check out a Samsung laptop for almost a month. I said sure and a Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite (13.3″ HD Touch Laptop) was delivered to me. The machine was a sleek device, light and fast. It came with Windows 8, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD hard drive.

If I didn’t already have a laptop this laptop would have been the perfect edition to our technology family. Now that I’m shooting photos primarily with the Samsung Galaxy NX300 and also using the Galaxy Tab having a Samsung laptop would add to the overall process. I like the idea of having an integrated workflow and the more I work with Samsung products the more I am enjoying them. The Samsung Book 9 has technology in it called SideSync Technology. With this I was able to use my Galaxy Tab to extend the laptop and use it to control the tablet.

I also spent a lot of time using the touch screen to play Plants vs Zombies. Continue reading My Month with a Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite Touch Screen Laptop →

Bring Your Instagrams to Life with Stickygram

I received gift codes to try out all of the products from Stickygram. Opinions are 100% my own.

I take photos and post them to Instagram all the time. They go up and enter the internet and are gone. Not so much anymore. With Stickygram you can take those Instagram photos and create magnets, phone cases for iPhones (4/4S & 5/5S) and Samsung (S3, S4), and iPad (2,3,4) covers.

Magnets ($14.99 for 9) – Magnets come in sets of 9. They are full color sheets and in my opinions the best product from Stickygram. The magnets come out looking great and are the perfect size for printing.

Phone cases ($34.99) – I ordered an iPhone 4S case. The printing on the case was nice, I went with three small images centered on the back but there are tons of options. The case fit snugly on my iPhone. It is small and thin. I think that for the money this could have been a bit thicker and more sturdy. As someone who tries lots of cases on his phone I was afraid of breaking this case.

iPad Cover ($44.99) – We purchased an iPad Air before I got the iPad cover through Stickygram. The iPad Air is smaller than the iPad 2,3,4 so the cover didn’t fit that quite right. The look of the cover was very nice and it does have the magnetic hinge. I would have to try it on an iPad 2,3 or 4 to get he full experience but I did make it work for a while on the iPad Air.
