Toshiba Satellite A200 – my review (12 years later!)

I know this is obsolete now with the new technologies developing at the speed of light, but I think it’s only fair to give my assessment of this product. I bought it in 2007 for around a thousand dollars. It came with preinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium, so I could get right to work.

It has an Intel® Core™2 Duo T5250 processor, a hard disk of 120 GB, 5,400 rpm, 1 GB DDR2 RAM (667 MHz), a DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) unit, Intel® GMA X3100, 1280 x 800 screen display, glossy screen, microphone, 1.3 Mp camera, Wi-fi, Ethernet, 2 memory slots, LAN Ethernet, a lot of ports and a lot of other stuff that I don't remember right now.

After 12 years it still works just fine! I haven’t replaced the operating system, and I don’t know if I can, since the newer ones probably don’t match the other specifications (except maybe Linux), but I don’t need to. I have a Lenovo now, which I will review some other time, and I use the Toshiba for backup, in case my main machine crashes. I turned it on a week ago. I can still use it as a regular workstation but new software or antivirus programs don’t work on it, and Chrome can’t update – it’s only natural. The battery is dead, of course, but when I use it I plug it in.

I know this review comes too late but I like to make comparisons between the way things were made back then and the quality they have nowadays.

So, all in all, I am very pleased with this piece of technology and next time I buy a laptop it will probably be a Toshiba, although they are a bit on the expensive side.

Pellamar Gel - BioActive S Acne review

Pellamar is a Romanian company that creates skincare products containing sapropel – therapeutic mud from a specific lake. It claims to be non-comedogenic and paraben-free, to cleanse the skin, remove impurities and excess sebum without drying the skin. It contains lavender flour extract, which is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory and helps heal wounds, burns, etc. The mud extract has a hydrating and protective role. It contains key amino acids: alanine, proline and glycine that have the effect of slowing down the aging process. Salycilic acid acts as an exfoliant, deeply cleans the pores and can improve the skin's structure and color. I started using this gel last summer, when the pimples and dark spots and other weird stuff on my skin started bothering me. I use a pea-size amount of product, mix it with a little water and spread it evenly. I leave it on for a couple of minutes then rinse it off with warm water. It doesn’t smell great (due to the mud component) but the sm...

Maybelline Dream Satin BB Cream review

I don’t usually use foundation so I’ve always tried to find a product that makes me look good and has SPF. Since I started to get sun spots, I realized that I can’t go out in the sun anymore without something that protects my skin. I used sunscreen but I didn’t like the smell or the way it looked on me – sometimes when I sweated it turned white. I love this BB cream – it makes me look fresh and healthy, even when I’m tired or I don’t feel well, it makes my skin look dewy. I don’t use a primer or anything else, just blush on my cheeks. It lasts for a long time, I’ve been out for 6-8 hours and I still looked good when I returned home. The description says it is an 8-in-1 BB Cream, it brightens, smoothes and hydrates, it gives skin a dewy finish, it adjusts to skin tone and blurs imperfections – I agree with all of this. It has SPF 30. I use a small amount and blend it in with a foundation brush or a make-up sponge. List of ingredients: TITANIUM DIOXIDE, WATER, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE...
