PDX-8000

Advantages: LED display
Disadvantages: gIMMICKY

...We all know that Technics turntables are the industry standard. In radio stations, bars, clubs and homes up and down the land Technics are the choice that most people make when selection a turntable. At one point, however, Vestax were challenging Technics to their crown. The PDX-8000 was one of their flagship products and was the one that was a direct threat to the Technics SL1210. There are a few functions of this turntable that make it stand out from the rest: 1 - The LED display. As far as I am aware, this was one of the first turntables to have an LED display built in. The screen shows you what the current pitch range is (this can be set to -3 to +3, -6 to +6 or -12 to +12), it also displays the current pitch. 2 - Control stick. You can move the control stick to speed up or slow down the speed of the platter temporarily. This is...

Trek 8000 bike, move over Mr Porsche

Advantages: Top Quality, first class frame
Disadvantages: a few cheap components

...BEWARE: full of bikers stuff. A long long time ago I was an avid mountain bike fan. There were times when I was covering over 100 miles a day and clearing 10000 miles a year. So I ran quality bike s that would get me around quickly and with minimal effort. I was a cycle courier for a time whilst I decided what to do with myself and on starting a career jib stopped cycling and eventually sold my expensive bikes on. About 3 years ago I bought a Trek 8000 mountain bike. I bought this in a sale for £1100 pounds. I did my home work and came up with the 8000 as a good all round cross country bike that would give me all I needed for a lot less than I used to pay. FRAME. My bike has to be big as I am 6'3". So I opted for the largest I could get. They come in various sizes in inches which your local supplier can advise you on, which...

Motorola HSW 8000

Advantages: Light Weight and easy to use
Disadvantages: Range 10m but in reality you get around 6 to 8m

...Due to the changing laws about driving and using mobile phones, I decided the safest option rarther than get a fine was to purchase a bluetooth handsfree unit rarther than the obtrusive and normally naff connectable phone hands free units. After much reserch and shopping around I decided to give the HSW 8000 a go. You can pay anything upto £150 for a good bluetooth headset, indeed the HSW 8000 was retailing at £99 when I got mine (however I paid £25 on ebay) but in most of the reputable stores you will find it selling at around £50 but do shop around there is always a bargain to be had. Some new contract deals even supply both phone and bluetooth headset but watch out for the terms and conditions. The headset itself comes complete with a mains charger and extemsive yet easy to read instructions. Pairing the term used to connect...

Organise your viewing with the Humax PVR8000T/80

Advantages: Easy recording/playback
Disadvantages: None found so far

...Do you, like me, find yourself missing your favourite programmes because you have too many things on your "to do" list? Or do you find that you sit down to watch something but feel guilty because you are not doing the cleaning or paying the bills? If the answer is yes then this product is definitely what you are looking for. The Humax PVR8000T/80 is a combined set-top box and hard-drive recorder, with enough space for around 40 hours of TV. To organise you viewing week, all you need to do is browse the 7-day TV guide and press OK to choose the programmes you want to record. Then when you have some "me-time" to spare, all your programmes will be stored, ready to watch. You can pause a programme if you need to go and answer the phone, or rewind it if you miss a bit. Also the TV/RADIO button is very useful as it means you can...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix S8000FD

pure brilliance picture and green

Advantages: sleek, green mind blowing picture
Disadvantages: not supplied with wireless dongle , or wall bracket

...This is the latest generation of energy saving televisions, we have had it a fortnight after waiting 2 months for them to come into the country, got our from costco as they have the 5 year granatee and the cast iron return poilcy plus they where the cheapest at under £1350. It is really light to carry and amazing thin under 3 cm , the brochure in comparision is very comprehehensive and large although in reality it is a breeze to set up and scanns for the channels we where watching it within 5 minutes, both freeeview, dvd player and sky. The picture will blow you away, there are plenty of 7000 series to see on currys but this is the 8000, different beast, it is a lot more geared up to access the internet and steam, plus it is very low energy.On standaby it is something like 0.1watts The definition is amazing although most...

Linux on Inspiron 8000

Advantages: Fast, big high-res screen, can run Linux
Disadvantages: Niggles with screen & audio

...General = I recently purchased an Inspiron 8000 850VT through Dell's online ordering service. The order was shipped promptly by Dell but I wasted 1.5 days of my annual leave allowance waiting for the Irish Express Cargo company to deliver my order; only on the third agreed delivery window did I receive my goods. The machine I ordered had the following spec.: Mobile Pentium III 850Mhz 15" SXGA+ (1400x1050 resolution) 128Mbyte RAM 32Mbyte ATI Mobility M4 video DVD Internal NIC & modem I had a few initial gripes about the machine; the audio output was noisy (ie. random noise on top of the signal) and the screen backlighting seemed to vary from top to bottom. The screen did have a few dead pixels but I wasn't too bothered by them on a screen of that resolution. The touchpad/track stick combination is prone to random...

The Most Reliable Name In Washing Machines

Advantages: Its reliable with large capacity
Disadvantages: It may be a bit large for smaller homes or flats

...really nothing to worry about. My son was quite creative at two, but he never tried, or managed to climb inside or get hurt. And remember those 12 kids, they had age ranges from baby to about 16 and none of them ever got hurt either. So, I find them as safe as your standard machine, as LONG AS, you NEVER RUN THE RINSE CYCLE without the lock in place! THAT IS DANGEROUS! There are no other specific safety features on this machine I don't believe, but then, the design itself is a safe one. Warranty We never had to use ours. BUT, they do come with them. These days they can be upgraded as well, but with a Whirlpool you WOULD be wasting your money to pay for any extra warranty bits. All this being said, I think you can see my opinion of these machines is VERY HIGH. So, now I will list below the specs with regards to the LSQ 8000...

  Developing a Sense Of Humax

Advantages: Good price for what is a Freeview upgrade AND a recorder in one
Disadvantages: Welcome to the wonderful world of software upgrades!

...for a couple of hours, but compared to the 7-day Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) of a Sky box was inadequate to say the least. Well, that?s all changed now, as Freeview start to roll out a full 8-day EPG to any set-top box or digital TV that?s prepared to take it on board ? those with old On Digital boxes will, regrettably, NEVER be updated from the Now & Next facility, so you need something new. On top of that, you need something to record the pictures on, and this is where a machine like the Humax PVR 8000T come in. Not only is it a Freeview set-top box tuner, but it?s also a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) - that?s the posh new name for something that records TV to a PC-style hard disk, so not only does it upgrade an analogue telly to digital but it gives you an easy means of time-shifting the programmes in one fell swoop and one neat...
