Instead Of Spending $1000 On The Iphone X | Buy These Gadgets Instead by Nobody: 3:04pm On Sep 17, 2017
Some days ago, apple held an event in which they unveiled 3 smartphones, which were the iphone 8, 8s and the iphone x also called the iphone 10.

The iphone x was the star of the event, the iphone x is actually the greatest creation from apple when it comes to their smartphone division.

The two main features that really make the iphone x special are the almost bezeless display and the advanced face scanner, owing to the fact that it's the first time these features are appearing on an iphone.

These features have appeared on most smartphones from the past, but appearing on an apple phone means a lot.
Apple smartphones are expensive and very famous so a $1000 price tag isn't a surprise.

The aim of this article is to actually open your eyes to gadgets you can purchase with a budget of $1000 that will really be of help to you if not better than the help the iphone x will render.



When I say budget of $1000 it doesn't mean these gadgets may cost exactly $1000, when I say a budget of $1000 I mean gadgets that do not cost up to $2000.

Below is a list of gadgets I have compiled that may interest you;

The particular model that bears the price that I will specify below is the A19Eow.
When you synchronize the Philips hue bulb to your google home speaker, you will be able to control your home lighting with your voice. So you can just say 'OK Google' turn on or off the lights and google home smart speaker will automatically do as you wish.
Philips hue bulb costs $69 per piece.

This is the Exact Laptop I ordered for in May 2017 from Amazon Online Store US and was shipped through MyUS to my Lagos home address.

I paid $557 on the laptop alone excluding shipping fee and also excluding the unavoidable Custom fee through FedEx as at then..

Actually the Laptop even gives me more than 12hrs of battery life on light usage and about 10hrs battery life on heavy usage. Am so satisfied by that laptop not because of the RAM, CPU or SSD but because of the battery life with respect to our bad power supply in this country...

Ok for the SSD.. Can 256GB SSD hold 1TB data?

No, but a 256GB SSD is more expensive than a 1TB just because of the speed in processing data.

If you do not do extraneous work on your laptop, u don't need it. Go for the slower HDD.... I think this acer aspire E15 has space for HDD

1TB HDD for me, i'l rather have 500GB HDD than 256GB SSD..
And what work do u classify as extraneous?
SSD might be faster but that doesn't make 256GB enough space and if you really do extraneous work(according to u) you'll know that 256GB is not enough.
Having Nvidia graphics with 256GB SSD cheesy only fifa17 and the setup will take more than 20GB and we never talk of the OS sef

You can always just buy an external hard disk to save your movies and games. Otherwise 256GB can be enough because after installation of windows you have about 200GB free.

Its enough for people who dont play games with their laptop... 256GB is too small for a laptop with Nvidia graphics, splinter cell game(installed) is more than 15GB, PES17 with patch, is more than 10GB, need for speed(installed) is more than 15GB...

And what about people who use their laptop for video edting, they cant have all the video they are working on in an external hard drive

How many games do you play at a time?? I'd guess not more than 6, which takes just around 100GB. i don't really see the problem here. I think what takes up space the most is storing movies and that is easily solved with an external disk.
