HP x Dr. Dre - Envy 15 Laptop

HP is definitely stepping up their game with their new release of Envy 13 and Envy 15 with the numerals corresponding to their screen size. Envy is pretty much taking on the MacBook aesthetics and running it with the Windows platforms. So it is no surprise that HP have stepped that up even further by producing a collaboration model with none other than hip hop legend  Dr. Dre for their limited edition Envy 15.
This model is 1 inch thick and weighs 5.18 pounds that features the single button trackpad, Core i7 processor, dual SSD drives and high end Radeon HD 4830 graphics with 1GB of VRAM. If that doesn’t make sense then it doesn’t matter because the menacing all black exterior and interior might just be enough to tempt you. Finished of with a red Beats logo on the front cover that would match perfectly to the Beats headphone.

Nike Dunk High Quickstrike – Day of the Dead – New Photos

While many Americans have come to celebrate Halloween, Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos or All Souls’ Day) is popular in/amongst Latin America/ns.  Nike Skateboarding’s original Day of the Dead Dunk was very popular and rare a few years ago, itself adding quite a bit of interest to this latest release.  This particular ‘Day of the Dead’ Nike Dunk High will come from the Sportswear division along with a similarly hewn Air Max 90, but it’s every bit as ’scary’ with its purple and black designs accented by neon green and bright orange hits.  Expect more news on these before they drop later this month.  via HS
