Advantages: stylish, free helpline, good quality pc's Disadvantages: poor instructions and specification guide
...helpline.
the instructions and spec guide are not that helpfull but the helpline is if you have any queries.
the pc is solid built and good quality and philips have a partnership with iqon so you get the philips quality components.
it comes with standard 12mth guarantee.
iqon is based ireland and mainly sell through mail order catalogues and in some large tesco's the price i paid was £1000 and given the little extra that usualy gets added to catalogue prices i think it was a resonable price. there are cheaper lower spec pc's available from iqon also.
all in all this is a good pc witha good spec and build quality
standard warranty (12mth) and free helpline....

Advantages: small quick to set up and easy to use Disadvantages: none to speak of

Philips is one of the more realistic vendors when it comes to rating its camera's performance. It rates the PCA646VC at up to either 30fps or 15fps, depending on the size of the window in which the video is displayed.

The colours seem set more vibrant on this but apart from them being smaller there is really no real difference in the clarity of them compared to the Videoseven screen updated from.
I have tested the gaming performance and it is much improved on Freedom Force there is only a little loss of focus if you move the mouse from one side of the screen to another across buildings but it does not blur colours or blacks like before, with Prince of Persia WW it's much improved too, Before the Prince had a black afterglow around him now there is nothing I can see.
The monitor does have the much talked about Backlight bleeding issue as on the Dell monitors (in all four corners when screen is displaying black) Picture...

Sonicare was my dentists recommendation. I previously used an electric rechargable brush with mechanical action - and I cannot believe the difference that using this sonic unit has made. After 3 months use, my teeth are whiter, feel smoother to the... more
After owning a dvd/vhs player for about 4 years and the dvd player finally deciding not to work at all, after a period of it sometimes playing dvds and sometimes not depending on the mood it was in, it was decided it was time to get a new one. As we now... more
Ahhhh the wonders of cordless shavers!
My first ladyshave was a little white one with one of those twirly, coily wires, which then meant that you had to find a socket to be able to use it. So that meant having to shave in the bathroom, and if someone... more
