English term or phrase: zing & bling (see sentence)
"More zing for less bling" - this is one of the headers in a marketing newsletter of a computer manufacturer. What they're saying, I guess, is that their computers provide more power/performance for less money - unfortunately I can't think of anything similar in style in German at the moment, let alone anything that rhymes, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

mehr Power für weniger Kohle/Münze/Glitz/Penunzen/
Explanation:
"bling" oder "bling-bling" = Slang-Wort, besonders in der Getto-Sprache für alles was glänzt, also "Glitz". Ich persönlichwürde wegen der Alliteration Power und Penunzen vorziehen.

agree  tectranslate ITS GmbH: Kohle. Seems to be a contemporary variant of the old "more bang for the buck".

Das gute alte "Ein echter Preis-Leistungs-Loewe"?


Explanation:
like more bang for the buck. Ausserdem wird zumindestens hier an der Westkueste "bling bling" eher fuer etwas verwendet, was von aussen glaenzt, innen aber nicht unbedingt, oder auch als Kommentar wenn etwas "new and shiny" ist, mit anderen Worten, das Ganze ist schon im Englischen etwas an den Haaren herbeigezogen.
