Entry-Level Tablet That's Worth It for only ₱6,999! - LUMOS Tablet

 LUMOS Ray Projector saved our family during Pandemic.  Nothing beats watching K-drama in big screen reading subtitles without the need to squint.  

Fast forward to exactly 3 years after, who would've thought I would depend on this brand again to fulfill my son's simple wish to have his own tablet?

I personally own a tablet for work and lends it to my son once in a while for his school research, drawings, movie watching and a whole lot more.  He requested to have his own tablet (rather than phone) when he graduates elementary which is coming up soon (This year)!  As much as we wanted to give him to best and most expensive out there, I would like him to start up on something simple, an entry-level that works just as fine as branded ones in the market for his age range.  And of course, I want him to work his way up to top tier ones for him to have appreciation on every material things he own.  

That's killing 2 birds in one!  

And I recently got to try out the LUMOS Tablet  Bundle (with accessories; keyboard, mouse, pen) which costs Php8,499. You may opt for LUMOS Tablet Only (without accessories) costing Php6,999

The Bundle comes with a 10.1 inch wide screen Tablet, a Bluetooth Keyboard, Bluetooth Mouse, Stylus Pen and a Case Cover.  

This whole bundle can transform a simple tablet into a mini Laptop!  This was supposedly for my son but I road-tested this myself for a week working on Blog Posts, Editing some photos for my Social Media and just listen to my favorite Youtube Crime Documentaries as I get ready for work.    

For someone who is not "techie", I do understand a few major points when looking for a tablet.  A good clear skin is much appreciated and 10.1 inch is perfect size not only for my son even I find it comfortable to watch shows with it.  The 4K resolution makes the video crisp and super clear with 8GB Ram (in which other brands would cost more with such!).  

In the past, my son used other brand and gave up when his scrolling isn't as smooth as he wanted.  I actually saw how much he used the tablet scrolling feature with no issue thus was able to do what school needed him to do in NO time!  

Keep in mind that this won't work as a "gaming" tablet, though my husband did try out some simple games and it still works as the tablet has 8GB processing speed. 

Divoom Fairy-OK review

 

If you worked with me (at least once) in an office setting, or rode with me on a public transportation on the way home during college or work days.  You'll know how much of a music lover I am!  

I listen to music A LOT, I have a speaker that connects to my phone almost every corner of my home because music keeps me going!  I even have various background music for special moments of my life!

The first time I met my husband and the song that made me kilig? - "Calling Your Name Again" by the Carpenters.

My practicum days at the airport? - Shape of my Heart by the Backstreet Boys.

The first kilig moments with my first boyfriend (now hubby)? - "I Lay My Love On you" by Westlife.

And so on....

Naku, you guys can definitely see how Tita I am with the choice of songs.  But yes, that's how important music is in my life and owning a good speaker is something else.  When I discovered Divoom speaker from a good friend Marj, I never realized how a good quality, and powerful speaker can make a HUGE difference in your muni-muni moments.  I mean, this little cutie looks cute and small but tough in terms of good, quality sound system! 

And that's not all, aside from the Retro-vibe, it comes with a cute MIC that has perfect quality like that of the speaker!  I am so happy I swear I put this on my bedside and listen to good music and relax as I play my games or read my favorite book!  

A plus that the mic is the best way for me and my son to bond over random music!  WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENTAVO this gadget I swear!

Divoom Fairy-OK speaker is priced locally at Php5,650.00 available in Pink and Green at LAZADA.

LUMOS RAY Projector Review

 

A fact I haven't shared to anybody and I am sharing today.

The last time I went out to watch a movie at a movie house was more than 9 years ago!  YES!  9 years!  I remembered having morning sickness inside the movie house but I had to pull myself together because I love Liam Neeson so much in Taken I had to watch the sequel by hook or by crook!

Don't give me that sad look, I chose not to watch movies at theaters because I prefer to spend time with my family on weekends as I have a very busy schedule on weekdays I'd rather spend quiet and quality time at home.  

That said, my love for watching movies at home via Netflix started years before pandemic started.  I remembered having a conversation with my husband wishing to have a home-theater-like screen or TV and that idea was swept on the side as most projectors are bulky and let's not talk about the price!  

Fast forward to today, my dream came true when I got myself a LUMOS RAYT Projector!

LUMOS RAY Projector

Php11,999.00

All-in-one projector with Netflix, YouTube, & built-in speakers available

Affordability may be the number 1 factor to some in investing on a nice home cinema but for me, aside from the fact that LUMOS RAY projectors are inexpensive, there are some key points that made me love this more!

• Premium & Elegant Look – aside from being cute, lightweight and handy.  I love the color and the minimalistic & sleek look.  I personally do not like an object displayed in my room that looks "out of place".  The color and design, I would imagine goes really well in most homes!
• Ease of use - for someone who is not very "techie", I find the Plug & Play feature of LUMOS RAY Projector as another WIN!  I dislike fumbling through instruction manuals and I know, we all shouldn't do that, but I was able to turn this projector on and use it immediately!
