My First Auto Show in Brussels, Belgium

Invited for the first time at a car show, I am very excited to discover the innovations of the 93rd Salon Auto / Moto / Van which is held in Brussels until 25 January. First time for me! 

I like cars, but I’m far from an expert. Let’s say I am more interested in aesthetics, design, comfort and ease to drive (I like to shift gears manually) than engine power as such.

Only if I find a car beautiful or interesting, I’d discover more, like this superb Jaguar on the picture above. Then I will be curious about the fuel consumption, environmental impact and performance / price ratio.

Sexy 4X4

I’ve always had a big crush on the British brands that greatly mix classy timeless design and technical performance. And when I think of a 4×4, the first name that comes to mind is Range Rover!

Photos 2 & 3 : the Range Rover Evoque ”British Edition”. The Range Rover Evoque perfectly reflects the spirit of the moment. Besides, it received 161 international awards since its launch in 2011.

The other great 4X4 brand that comes to my mind is Jeep. And the new Jeep Renagade in canary yellow version is awesome (photo 4)! Having not drived any of these cars, I will not talk about driving.

MINI City trips

Wow the Mini! WHO doesn’t like the Mini? I’ve already been a big fan of the old Mini and remains a big fan of the new MINI! It’s a very stylish car. And with the new versions, the ultimate chic little car has a powerful engine too!!

Chic UFO

I didn’t know at all the Korean brand SsangYong (now Mahindra & Mahindra since 2011). Regarding the design, what a nice surprise with this XIV-Air concept car that looks like a manga, very cubic. The rear lights seem to be a half-open mouth. Funny!

Vintage baby!

I do love old cars! They are so classy! On the photo above, the iconic Citroën DS! Symbol of French movies of the sixties-seventies, with Alain Delon, Jean-Pierre Melville, Fantomas … 

Among my favorites, there are the old Mercedes coupes and the Volvo on the photo below.

I am neither Rihanna nor a Hollywood star, but I’m fond of this gorgeous Alpha Romeo with the sweet name of Mito (above photo)! LOL! 

As for the new BMW 6 Series (photo below), I have to admit, this car in white is WOW! Although I much more prefer the Z8 Roadster of James (Bond)… and the last Z4!

As a good globetrotter, I had the opportunity to drive a Smart car on winding narrow roads of a small island years ago. Super convenient! I was able to put my body board, dive bag and an extra friend !!!!

A curvaceous design for the new Smart Forfour for four persons, with an interior reminiscent of the Courrèges 60s models!

Another small car I find really charming, the Opel Adam to customize according to his desires (photo below). Modern design, very fresh and young! Like the Toyota Aygo.

Photogenic

To be very honest, I like more the composition of my photos on this Mazda CX-5 than the car itself. It’s certainly a great 4X4, with headlights reminding me the profile of a shark …

Amazing Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black

Recently I was invited to the party hosted by Acer to discover their new products: laptops, tablets and smartphones, real Ali Baba barracks (lol)!

Although I arrived a little late (I have a reputation to keep, lol), I attended the presentation of the new laptops. Many exciting choices for everyone: like for example, some with “removable” screens rotate etc …

But when I took over the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black (photos above and below), I immediately recognized the object of my high-tech desire as a geek, a photographer and a digital nomad (lololol !).

Nomadic and Super Efficient

Powerful Intel Core i7-4710HQ processor. A chic nomadic device able to accommodate heavy image editing software: a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics card.

Lightweight notebook with a 15.6-inch 1,920-by-1,080-resolution screen! Let me dream of the Aspire V17 Nitro Black! 

Last pictue post: top right edge photo, the Liquid Jade new smartphone I will review soon. Since my first smartphone, the Acer CloudMobile S500, I became hooked! Bottom left side photo: another new design which I really like, a kind of a lovely gadget, the Iconia Tab Windows 8 W 8.1. An input range at reasonable prices.

Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black : “Parce que c’était lui, parce c’était moi”

Récemment j’étais invitée à la soirée organisée par Acer, afin de découvrir leur nouveaux produits : ordinateurs portables, tablettes et smartphones, véritable caserne d’Ali Baba (lol)!

Même si je suis arrivée un petit peu en retard (j’ai une réputation à tenir), je n’ai rien perdu de la présentation sur les nouveaux modèles d’ordinateurs portables. Le choix ne manque pas, rotation de l’écran,  écran “amovible” aimanté etc…

Mais lorsque j’ai pris en main l’Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black (en photos ci-dessus et ci-dessous), j’ai tout de suite reconnu l’objet de mes désirs high tech de geekette-photographe-digital nomade (lololol!).

Nomade et super performant

Un processeur puissant Intel Core i7-4710HQ. Une bébête nomade et classieuse, capable d’accueillir des logiciels lourds de retouche d’image, avec une carte graphique 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M.

Modèle léger, offrant un écran de 15.6 pouces avec une résolution écran de 1920 par 1080! Je n’ose même pas imaginer l’Aspire V17 Nitro Black! Comme disait Montaigne : “Parce que c’était lui, parce que c’était moi”!

Dernière image du post : photo du haut (bord droit), le tout nouveau smartphone Liquide Jade, dont je vous reparlerai bientôt. Depuis mon premier smartphone, l’, je suis devenue accro! Photo du bas (bord gauche): une autre nouveauté dont le design me plait beaucoup, un peu comme un joli gadget, la tablette Iconia Tab 8 W sous Windows 8.1. Une entrée de gamme à prix raisonnable.
