Advantages: Just the cable I needed to connect my DV Camcorder to my PC Disadvantages: none- worked a treat
Do you need to Edit your Digital Video Camcorder footage on your Personal Computer ? Then this IEEE 1394 cable will connect your DV camcorder to the FireWireport on your PC allowing fast transfer of your video movie to your Computer.
The cable just simply plugs into the relevant port on your DV Camcorder and the Firewire( IEEE 1394 ) Port on the PC.
Using your own PC DV editing software you can capture the video at fast rates to your hard drive where you can make you own home movies.!
If you Dont have a firewire port then get StarTech's PCI FireWirecard (Plug and Play installation) Look for it bundled with Ulead's great editing software.
I found this product ideal and was easy to use. ...
Advantages: USB 1.1 Backwards Compatable Disadvantages: Instalation
.
The drivers are in a set up file in the driver?s directory, which you need to run before installing the card. Once the set up file was ran and the computer was restarted then there were no problems with installing the card and windows automatically located the drivers.

the other types of dell laptop you can have one in every colour.
I also found the set up quite confusing with the desktop being along the top. It seems quite similar to an apple mac design and I couldnt understand that when I had one. It doesn't seem as confusing as that though. The price of this laptop averages between £400 and £500, this to me seems a bit extreme seen as it doesnt have a webcam like the other notebooklaptops. It also has a 34mm expresscard slot rather then the 54mm which is more usual. It does have all the basics such as three USB ports and microphone and headphone jacks but is it worth paying the money for these basics that you could find on a cheaper model.
A positive point is that the key board is easy to use and the mouse pad. It is also a light laptop so easy to carry round and because it is thin it is thin ...
