3M MP 8635

Advantages: Reasonably priced and easy to use
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...I have read the opinion of the pavilion 8680. I do strongly agree pavilions are all you could want from a computer. I have the 8635 model and it is just perfect.I have not had any problems with it what so ever (unlike some i could mention,but wont) It has 10.2gb hard disk, intel celeron 500mhz,64mb sdram, intergrated 3d agp graphics 11mb shared video memory, 16 bit 3d stereo sound, dvd, cd writer plus-rewritable, 56kbps modem fax,v.90, digital camera and usb port 15" monitor all for just £899. What a bargain. Customer service is highly recommended with a high level of customer care, nothing being too much trouble for them. If you did want to upgrade at any time it comes with a booklet which tells you how to upgrade yourself or you can buy a new computer direct from HP cutting out the middle man so it works out much cheaper than the shop...

Advantages: Cheap, fair sound quality and build, good for gaming and films on PC
Disadvantages: Few flaws such as stand not standing up, problem with sub.

..., could be better, but you can't expect that much from 2.5" drivers. The satellites are easy to mount to the wall, you just hook them onto screw. Drill a hole in the wall, put a wall mount in, pop a screw in, hook the speaker on and your done. The only problem I had was the wire length, they give you about 3m of wire, which is no where near enough, so I just brought a extension cable, you just need a 3.5mm extension. There aren't many features as such, quite a basic system. The control box has your power on/off switch, Volume, Bass, Rear and center controls on the front, and at the back, you have 3 X 3.5mm sockets for the 5.1, 6 channel input, and another single 3.5mm socket for a stereo input, and then a little switch to turn on "Dual Stereo". This is a useful feature, which puts stereo sound into 5.1 surround sound, which is useful... Read review

Advantages: The size of the memory stick kicks the MP3 players ass!
Disadvantages: The price is a little expensive

...This is not quite a MP3 player but comes under the same category. The new product which has just been launched in the shops is called the Sony MS. This stands for Memory Sticks and is the Worlds smallest compact music player available to date. This Memory Stick works the same as a MP3 player loading MP3 songs from the internet and has a 64 Mega-bite memory. It comes in on colour which consists of silver and blue. The specification of this MS player is approximately 1 and a half inches in width and about 3 to 4 inches in length. This is quite a pricey bit of equipment but if you have the money to spend on it then it is well worth the £ 300 which it will set you back.... Read review
