The Cruzer Pop seems quite innovative in design. But is it flimsy?
Yes, very clever design. I tried it at the launch – it’s actually quite robust. Didn’t feel like the hinge was going to give after a few pops. After opening it, the “cover” folds over and doubles up along the body so it becomes rather compact while it is plugged in.
Wow, that’s a quick reply! The design looks quite vibrant too. Will get one for my daughter. Hope she doesn’t snap it into two!
Hee… I happen to be logged on when you comment came in. Don’t think it snaps that easily, so she should be ok.
How much are the SSDs? And when will they be available?
Actually, the SSDs have been available since February. Their MSRPs during the release then was 120GB (S$340), 240GB (S$600), and 480GB (S$1,355). By now, their prices would have dropped. You should be able to get more up-to-date street prices at Challenger, Bizgram, Cybermind etc.
