Darphynia's Diary

In case you didn't know, I L-O-V-E Razer.  They make wonderful, efficient gaming gear among other products.  I have pretty much everything Chroma.  Is it necessary?  No, but it's aesthetically pleasing; plus, there are millions of color options.  Who doesn't love customization?  When the Razer Blade Stealth was unveiled at CES, it won a "Best of CES; Best PC" award.  They then made history, as Razer won their sixth consecutive "Best of CES" award.  I am so proud to know the people behind the brand.   Image courtesy of razerzone.com Image courtesy of  razerzone.com The Stealth currently on sale, which varies in price (i.e. $1,599.99 reduced to $1,449.99 for 512GB, UHD).  Side note:  If you have the student discount, save it.  The current sale price is a better option.  You also get FL Studio 12 included with your purchase.  I was fortunate enough to get one, and all I can say is, "WOW!" ...

There are tons of gadgets available so it's hard to pick just a few.  What is on your holiday list? 1.  ESPRO Insulated Coffee & Tea Press , $49.95 Image courtesy of brookstone.com Know anyone who can't live without their tea or coffee?  I must admit that I am one of those people.  I also don't mind saying that I kind of want to buy this for myself.  Who wouldn't love the perfect cup of their favorite fresh-pressed tea or coffee?  Whether it's made ahead of time to enjoy on the way to the office or made so it's ready to enjoy at the office, the tea/coffee will be amazing and stay hot for up to 6 hours.  Comes in black, stainless steel, and white. 2.  Perfect Bake:  App-Controlled Smart Baking , $69.99 (currently on sale, $49.99) Image courtesy of brookstone.com At CES 2015, we watched the demo for this "smart baking" set.  I think it's a wonderful gift for those who are just starting to bake, as it does far more than...

Over time, I have used Turtle Beach, Corsair, and other gaming-specific brands, until I found Razer....then, I fell in love. Currently, I have the Naga mouse, and my friend has the mouse and headset.  While at CES (a HUGE shout-out to Ryan who helped us out, and Hilmar for all the information), we were introduced to the Chroma line.  The BlackWidow Chroma and BlackWidow Chroma Stealth (Stealth available on their site, only) are two of the most beautiful keyboards I've seen.  They are very durable, and the vibrant backlight options allow you to pick from over 16 million customizable color options!  There are 5 additional macro keys and, of course, a gaming mode option.  It is so easy to fit the keyboard to your needs.

We got in to Las Vegas just before 1 p.m. on Monday. Checked in to the hotel, and despite the Internet going in & out, it’s been nice. Woke up early today (Tuesday), after a restless night due to body aches, and covered South Hall 1 & 3. Most of the vendors in the South Halls carry mobile accessories, such as this plastic iPhone 6 case: Image courtesy of H. Nelson Image courtesy of H. Nelson    Remember those oil-in-water toys when we were kids? Well, you can now relive your youth. . . or at least that part of it. This color can be changed to virtually hue, and the little hearts can be changed to cars, dolphins, or whatever your little heart desires! Yes, they are wholesale, and no, they do not sell just one at a time. I did a quick search, though, and the cases can be purchased for virtually all phones here . There are also glitter-in-water cases, such as the kind found here . The image on the right shows how much will be added t...
