Advantages: Good spec, reasonable price, great processor Disadvantages: The piano black surface attracts dust and dirt.
I purchased the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop back in January for my daughter's birthday. I had a limited budget but wanted to get her something with decent enough spec for playing computer games should she wish to do this, and a large harddrive as she is a big fan of making videos on her digital camera and downloading music - two things which can eat up harddrive space.
I did a fair bit of research before purchasing and decided I wanted to get the best spec I possibly could for my money and the Inspiron ticked all the boxes. I paid £399 in January 2009 in Currys for the laptop which was the absolute limit on my budget.
The Dell I purchased has a dark blue coloured lid, however the rest of it is a shiny piano black which looks lovely. I would have preferred metal for the mousepad area - it feels sturdier and doesn't seem to attract ...
Advantages: Huge amounts of storage, durable, can take game saves everywhere. Disadvantages: Price.
The Xbox 360 120GB removable harddrive is a great item to buy for any Xbox 360 gamer. The larger harddrive has become even more useful with the coming of the ability to buy or rent movies via the Xbox Live Marketplace. Considering each movie is around 1GB in size (and even larger if downloaded in HD) conventional size HardDrives will rapidly be eaten up.
The removable harddrive is also extremely easy to use, it slides clips on the size of the Xbox 360 console, and absolutely no further setup is required. It is equally as easy to remove, you simply have to push in the button and lift it out of position. Its relatively small size then comes in handy, as you can carry it to your friends house and fit it on their console. All of your game saves and your gamercard can now be accessed on their console and provided they have access to ...
Advantages: cheap price tag, lots of exclusive games, small console, great online Disadvantages: loud, no HDMi cable, pay for online memberships
I always preferred the Xbox over the PS3 for many reasons. For example, the Xbox has all the exclusive games and content to the power and the links that Microsoft have. Also the main reason being that it is much cheaper than a PS3.
The 60GB Premium model comes with an online headset along with a 1 month free membership for Xbox LIVE for customers to have a taster of what it is like, and how much more enjoyable it is with LIVE.
Though, the 60GBharddrive isn't really enough memory for those who download demos and movies over LIVE etc. So if you are willing to put in the extra cash for an Elite, I would go for it. Plus, the Elite prices have dropped by £30, to a £199.99 price tag, only £30 more than a Premium console. However, the HDMi Cable has been scrapped from the Elite bundle.
Another thing that I love about the Xbox, is that it ...
