HP Xb3000 Notebook Expansion Base

Advantages: Easy to set up, Great sound quality, Easy to use
Disadvantages: None, but its pricey for what it is

This is a great product, however I would not recommend it if you frequently use your laptop whilst travelling. I would however recommend this laptop to those who have laptops at home. This is a great way to store your laptop. I found it easy to attach and quick to set up with no problems at all. The sound quality is great and I found it to be good overall. However this to me seems a more specialist product and the expansion base doesn't really offer ...
...you have the money to buy it, but I dont see it as particularly necessary for the laptop, it really is a glorified speaker system, but is one of those things thats clever but not necessarily required for your laptop. DETAILS: Speakers are great quality. Base itself is durable and feels quality Good storage solution for cables bit fiddly to sort. Takes reasonable amount of space up. Aesthetically well designed ...

Review of HP Xb3000 Notebook Expansion Base

An umbilical of laptop life!

Advantages: Great connectivity, features, design
Disadvantages: needless design change

...both my current and old HP laptop, i have owned a matching docking station and the only critisism would be the fact that the older docking station is not compatible with the newer laptop even though there is only a matter of a year or so between. After all they are the same manufacturer! With that aside, the rest of this review is nothing but praise for my docking station! Looks. Matches the laptop superbly in colour as both are finished in the ...
...Docking Station (DS) the shape and style of it lends itself to supporting a monitor. The old DS simply had the laptop covering the entire item. The new DS sit behind the laptop when in position. OK it takes up more desk space but I think gives you somewhere safe to place your optional screen. Buttons. Much improved. On the old DS, you had to push 2 buttons on either side to release the laptop from the locks that hold it in place. These seemed a ...

Review of HP Advanced Docking Station

Houston, we have no problem!

Advantages: Simple, quick way of commuting between desks with a laptop
Disadvantages: Takes a bit of space p on your desk, compared to simple laptop use

This HP docking station is a really useful piece of equipment. For those of you who have not used one before, what ia docking does is connect to all the peripherals on your desk. So you plug it in using its adapter and you can connect a mouse, a keyboard and a printer to it using USBs. You can connect a monitor to, if you want to, which I have. What's the point? Well what it means on a daily basis is that you can perhaps do away with the need for ...
...you could plug different people's HP laptops into it if you wanted to operate a hot desk with it. It costs £105 from PC World, but prices vary a bit depending on where you buy it from. As a daily home/work laptop commuter - I can really recommend this product. It has made my life simpler, my desk more pleasurable to sit at, and saves me a few minutes a day packing and unpacking. ...

Review of HP Basic Docking Station with Smart Adapter

Oh, You're So Cool.....Laptop Cooling Lounge

Advantages: I no longer have hot legs!
Disadvantages: Noise level

...I decided to try the Belkin Laptop Cooling Lounge. Several things led me to this decision - price (mine was £19.21 from Digital Fusion), functionality (a cooler you can use on your lap is a plus point, and one that fits up to 17" laptops) and user reviews on other sites (generally positive) all contributed. The Product What did I get for my £19.21? The 'Lounge' is a USB powered external fan built into a white plastic pad (quite large, and tray-like ...
...The pad is intended for use on your lap (makes sense, although it could just as easily be used on a desk, and height can be adjusted to a level comfortable for the user via a plastic strip on the back. There is a sizeable lip on the front of the pad which stops your laptop slipping. The box states "Cool, Adjust, Relax" and has a picture of a smiley lady lounging about on her immaculate sofa and equally immaculate carpet. Plus Points: This is an easy ...

Review of Belkin F5L028 Laptop Cooling Lounge

Belkins' knee cushion!

Advantages: Relatively lightweight; makes using a laptop more comfortable
Disadvantages: Slightly pricey; bland colours

...and 42 at the bottom. Belkin have tried to make this as ergonomic as possible for laptop users, because the angle my laptop sits at means that I get a clear view of the screen and don't have to lean forward or backward to get a better look. Since I bought it I've found it's so much easier than just having my computer on my lap. It keeps the laptop stable when I'm typing by absorbing any movement and so my legs don't feel the constant keystrokes. ...
...be the colour. I'm sure Belkin could have made these in a more attractive colour than just grey. Although, as I said, the 'pocket' together with the little rubber Belkin tag is green, it's barely noticeable and the overall appearance is somewhat bland. This is a really short review, but that's because there isn't really anything else to say! ...
