Advantages: Powerful, great spec for price Disadvantages: Easily scratched
Samsung may be better known for its mobile phones but it's had a wide range of notebooks for the best part of 5 years now and with the latest design refresh, the company has opted for a high-gloss finish that looks impressive and certainly feels cool to the touch.
The design is called the "Aura" design and the R70 follows in this trend but as with other machines we found the lacquered lid can easily be scratched.
So, if you're thinking of opting for this machine, you're best to invest in a slipcase to carry it around in, along with your backpack. That's the bad news out of the way, as the R70 delivers on almost every other front.
Weighing in at 2.7kg, this is a machine you may well want to carry around with you at least on semi-regular occasions. We managed to get a little over three hours on average from the battery, which is ...

THE NARROWS
MICHAEL CONNELLY
INTRODUCTION
Book sequels are notoriously difficult. It seems very hard to produce one successfully without falling into the rehashed old plot twists and warmed-over characters that usually cumulates in a paler version of the first book.
?The Narrows?, however, has not fallen into these traps it is a great ending to the dark world of lurking evil glimpsed in its forerunner, ?The Poet?.
The Poet was Connelly?s evil creation-- a shadowy cop killer notorious for staging false suicides and leaving a sombre line from the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe at the scene, scrawled by the forced victim as a farewell note.
?The Narrows? is from Michael Connelly (former police reporter for the Los Angeles Times). It is his 14th novel and features Harry Bosch and FBI agent Rachel Walling ...
Advantages: FAST COMPELLING ACTION, GENE HACKMAN Disadvantages: SPECIAL EFFECTS
A few weeks ago my Aunt (a very nice woman) gave me a copy of Narrow Margin DVD, which was free with the Daily Mail. I had not heard of this film before but was pleased to see that Gene Hackman was in it so I thought I would give it a go in the machine and I must say I'm glad I did.
NARROW MARGIN DVD
Narrow Margin (1990) is basically about Carol Hunnicut (Anne Archer) who witnesses a mob killing of her blind date and goes on the run,hiding in a remote part of Canada. L.A. District Attorney Robert Caulfield (Gene Hackman) is informed of her whereabouts by a close friend who then tracks her down to testify but it's not to long before the Mob (bad guys) find out where she is too.
Both the cop and the witness are chased through the Canadian Rockies, where their only hope is to take refuge on a claustrophobic Vancouver-bound train ...

Manufacturer's product description
The Fishman ELLIPSE AURA NARROW Ellipse preamp with Aura Image Technology and Acoustic Matrix pickup. Add Fishman tone and image blending technology to your acoustic instrument, without altering its looks. The Fishman Ellipse Aura Narrow onboard preamp system combines Fishman's most sophisticated onboard preamp with the power of the company's patented Acoustic Imaging Technology for accurate, true-to-life sound when amplifying acoustic guitars. A total of four Aura Images can be downloaded into the Ellipse Aura by using the Image Gallery sofware (included) via an onboard mini-USB port so that players can accurately match the Image to the instrument's natural tonal characteristics. This allows for a realistic, miked-up sound from the included Fishman Acoustic Matrix undersaddle pickup. The Ellipse Aura preamp's tone-shaping capability includes Pickup/Image Blend, Volume and switchable Natural I and Natural II low-frequency tone shaping. Feedback is controlled by a Phase Switch and an Automatic Anti-Feedback feature. The preamp's ergonomic soundhole-mounted design puts slider controls at the player's fingertips to maintain a natural playing position. A patented neodymium magnetic mounting system enables solder-free installation with a variety of size formats that accommodate most round soundholes from 3 7/8 inches (98 mm) to 4 1/8 inches (105 mm) in diameter.
