Advantages: Timeless collection for a great price Disadvantages: Some bugs still to be corrected
Finally a complete collection of all the original Sims titles for a good price too. This gave me the chance to try those expansions that I didn't manage to play back then. I suppose that most of the people reading reviews for this product already tried or at least know what the Sims is about so I'll just proceed to say the good and the bad of this collection. First of all the game could become very addictive for many people. If you don't already know all the expansion titles included it will take you a while to learn all the new functions but that's part of the fun too (for example I didn't know about the addition of the magical world and it was fun to discover the new actions related). A very good thing is that it can all be installed at once while previously you had to install each expansion singularly. The only bad and annoying thing ...
Advantages: Light, slim, good battry life, 250HDD Disadvantages: As it is Basic Windows 7, some features missing.
To start with I will say that I was very cautious about ordering from simplyasus.com (they were the cheapest). There was a number (I found nine) of other websites which all seem to be part of Xenex. On the internet I could not find any reviews except one or two posts, one from someone who wanted to buy something and the other one from someone who just simply said that he bought something from them. I phoned simplyasus.com to see that they exist but I bought my Asus 1008HA online.
I received almost immediately a text message to confirm my order. There was other e-mails of progress of my order and online tracking. Item arrived 24 hours after placing the order.
I am very pleased with the service and would definitely buy from xenex again.
Now about my 1008HA.
Absolutely beautiful, thin, curvy, smooth shiny finish, very light. Battery ...
Advantages: Solid, hardwearing, does it all. Disadvantages: A very heavy machine, a lot of information to get to grips with

embroidery
The built in designs are great and the hoops are easily attached to the machine. you do need a large workspace for the way the machine functions but the results are lovely, just make sure that you use a good stabiliser and fix the fabric firmly into the hoop. The only issues I am having with this function is the downloaded embroidery patterns, I can get them onto the computer just fine but transfer from computer to the machine is a little frustrating , as some of the designs seem to cross over no problem whereas others do not want to go, even though they are all in the .Jef format from the same website. go figure.
quilting.
I cannot say much here yet as I am still on a learning curve with quilting, let alone the machine, I have sampled some of the stippling patterns and found them to be simple to do and effective, the presser foot ...
