Sharp EL-6790 P

Advantages: Small and light
Disadvantages: Battery life could be longer

...I am sitting here in the library typing out a review on one of my latest acquisitions, namely a notebook. Not just any notebook, but the Sharp's Actius MM10 or in the UK, it might be the MM100. I bought this little baby while in the US about a year ago and it has accompanied me since then on all the trips I've taken. It is safe to say that so far, this machine has managed to accomplished all that I needed it to do, well almost all but a little bit of that later. Configuration of Notebook by virtue of importance IMHO 1. Weight This little thing is less than 1 kilogram or 2.1 pounds according to the little sticker on my notebook. I have weighed this on a scale at the airport, to the amusement of the crew at the check-in counter. I do not see the point of lugging a computer... Read review

...A couple of years ago I was given a 24inch CRT monitor when one of my friends upgraded to the forerunner of the 2407. A 24inch crt is quiet a big beast, totally dominated my desk, but it did true high definition (1080p) 1920x1080 which meant having a huge desktop.

...When purchasing the Mio P550 I was after a navgation system that could easily be put in my car then arriving at my destination easily fitting in my pocket for security. The Mio P550 is a nice shape and size meaning it does fit nicely in your pocket unlike most brick shaped GPS systems you tend to find. What is even better is its also a PDA, so not just will it tell you where to go, it will be your personal organiser, your mp3 player, your mobile internet. So many great features on one small device! The MioMap software that it comes with isnt the easiest to use at first, some of the features are hard to get to. However it does its job really well once you learn how to use it - please note that when putting in postcodes it just uses the first 4 characters. If you choose to however you could purchase TomTom software and easily install... Read review
