Advantages: Good, Fast Laptop and Light weight Disadvantages: Not too sturdy
The Vaio S4M/S is a good laptop, offering good speeds, a decent amount of RAM and the classic good looks of most Sony products.
Howevr, i have found it to be a little unreliable sometimes, occasionally crashing. Also, it isn't too sturdy; don't drop it! Having said this though, these qualities are offset by the magnificent customer support that i have found from Sony.
Other advantages are the great quality screen, with the x-black technology that really makes a difference. Also, the storage is quite good, but if you want to use it for movies, definitely buy an external hardrive, it is worth the investment.
Overall, a good laptop, though really works better as a desktop due to its size. I would recommend it.
Oh, and as one last bit of advice, make sure you know what you are doing if you decide to format it, or even when ...
Advantages: A really entertaining read Disadvantages: none
First and foremost forget the film, it is unable to capture the humour and intensity fully.
This is one of my favourite books, containing just the right mix of intrigue and humour, whilst running along at a great pace .
We start off meeting the major characters very quickly, and a battle of wits starts immediately, between commander Swanson and crew of a US nuclear submarine and Dr Carpenter, sent from London to join the Sub on a special mission to trace a missing ice station named Zebra. (needless to say this may not be the whole truth) !
Now the story begins with lies, subterfuge, lies, sabbotage, lies, murder, lies,one of my favourite lines comes from this book and if you read it, its the one about I almost believed it myself.
The story twists and turns with some great descriptives along the way to really bring you into the story ...
Advantages: Keeps the little ones happy Disadvantages: Annoying music, noisy..... but thats just us ;o) the kids will love it
My little one had this for christmas last year and it's still going strong today so yes it is pretty durable and tough!
It's a super cute bouncy spinning zebra, which plays (annoying ahhem*) music!! It came in a rather large, heavy box as I remember, but putting it together was a doddle (even for me!!!) The green base snaps together with each triange then forming a hexagon, it fits around the base of the zebra (I had to put his handles on too) and then thats pretty much it (there may have been some screws I can't remember).
My little one has had hours of fun on it (so have the older two) but it seemed a lot smaller than I expected?? At £45 it wasn't cheap but it was one of his big presents so I didn't mind. I bought mine out of the christmas toy catalouge, but they are sold in argos and toysrus for roughly the same price.
