...The Umax 3400 is a good solid scanner that is excellent value for money. It is simple to set up with 1 lead connecting to the USB port on your PC and the other to the mains supply. It comes complete with software that allows you to create calendars, posters, business cards etc. It is simple to use with scanning being possible with just the touch of a button. It is possible to copy a document, scan a document to disk or to a web based destination. At £50 you won't find a better beginners scanner....

Advantages: cheap, reliable Disadvantages: not the best software
...Well where I work more and more people ask about scanning their slides into their pc. Problem is the scanner they have has an optional adaptor which costs more than they payed for the scanner !
The solution is this Umax scanner. I have to say Umax have improved quality wise no end over the last year or so and returns rates are incredibly minimal compared to their 610P model of a few years back. PLus you have the added bonus off an adaptor to scan thise slides. All this for around £150-£175 all in. The software isn't the best in the world but for the money you save you could get better software. A little known fact is that Umax make scanners for some other major manufacturers, this is worth bearing in mind as those other major manufactureres are always difficult to get hold of stock wise....

...Hi
I used to have a Umax Astra 2000P parallel-port flatbed scanner, but after the third one went wrong, I asked Umax's UK support provider to give me something else, because the darn thing would always go wrong when I most needed to copy a document or scan something.
I don't know if this is the experience of other users, but the parallel port model was nothing but trouble from the start.
The problem was always scanner connection. VSaccess used to suddenly and without warning say the scanner was undetectable and that was it. The last problem occurred during a scan - my machine hung whilst it was scanning happily, but following reboot the scanner was permanently undetectable.
I now have a 2200 instead, which has worked fine (so far), but did need me to go and buy a scsi card....

My employer has at last seen fit to issue me with a mobile phone. I asked for one years ago, as I often have to make site visits to isolated places, but was turned down. At last, a Health & Safety Review recommended that all lone workers be issued with more
I have now owned this system for a couple of weeks. I already have a good DVD player so was not interested in a system with the DVD player built in. I thought it was wiser to spend my money on a good amp and speakers rather than another DVD player. I... more
I have owned this set now for a couple months and I am very happy with this set. As with all new devices and gadgets, all of the functions can be a little confusing, but I do find this unit very easy to use.

What HiFi gave this a 5 star rating with good reason. Its an impressive piece of kit and now that it has come down in price, offers a real alternative to load of speakers around the room.
This is why I bought one. The thought of 5 speakers plus cables... more
WHY BUY A TV AND A FREEVIEW BOX WHEN YOU CAN USE YOUR PC
I didn't have a tv in my room since there wasn't any room for even a small one. I thought how would I be able to view TV in my room.
