Alphacool Complete Retail Uni

Advantages: Large screen and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Too wide for standard laptop bags

...for home office use, school work. It's not really designed for multimedia activities. Finally, I like the colour is nice because it is metallic gray! This retails for around £530 on the Acer website or Comet do a slightly less spec. one for £450 in the shop or £390 is you buy offline. Well worth the money in my opinion, but it is difficult to rate how good it is because it depends on what you want to use it for. It is perfect for what I do. My cousin has just spent £1000 on a Sony laptop and I don't think he even knows how to use a computer - for him I think that is a complete waste of money and he would be better having what I've got....

Advantages: small and lightweight, easy to use
Disadvantages: the keyring feature isn't strong

...I have just recently completed and successfully handed in my dissertation for my hospitality degree and relied heavily on this device. It is an amazing product and would reccomend this to everyone. I was in the process of completing an assignment for one of my many modules by using a floppy disk to save all my work on. As the floppy doesn't hold much information i was constantly opening up different folders on different disks and cutting and pasting the information that i needed onto my uni's hard drive. However, whilst i was constantly opening new documents on different disks, the disk drive made a noise and i lost all my work as the disk that was in the drive wasn't the one with my final work on and all the work that i had done that day deleted.
