HENSVIK changing table/cabinet - Great idea!

Advantages: Double use as a cabinet and baby changing table, inexpensive, easy to assemble
Disadvantages: Flaking paint on the changing table after a while

...I bought the Hensvik changing table/cabinet designed by Carina Bengs a couple of years ago from IKEA for £85. I was expecting my second baby and loved the idea of the double use in this piece of furniture. First, it can be used as a changing table for your baby and when one is no longer required, the changing shelf can be removed and a second book shelf can be easily fitted into a slot above and there you go: you have a lovely looking book cabinet. The assembly was fairly simple. The instructions came in true IKEA style with pictures but the assembly was easily manageable with those. The Allen key and all screws were included, so you can unwrap, assemble and use. The assembled size measures as follows: Width: 75 cm Depth: 41 cm Height: 161 cm The item has a very good size and fits for example in my house into an alcove...

Movies For Halloween - The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari

Advantages: One of those "greatest film ever" regulars, and with good reason.
Disadvantages: None.

...There is something inherently eerie, otherworldly, about silent pictures. Whatever the merit of the film itself, the faint flickering of the frames (however good the restoration), the grain, the occasionally over-theatrical performances (I'm generalising horribly here, I know. There is nothing theatrical about many of the performances in, for example, Benjamin Christensen's masterpiece Haxan), even the nature of the musical soundtrack, disembodied and carrying on with little synchronisation with movements, actions onscreen... Eerie, yes. And how much more so when these elements are wrapped around a picture already reeking of the uncanny? A picture, perhaps, like Robert Weine's 1919 The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is a masterpiece. Routinely propping up the top end of Best Films Ever Made lists, it is...

Acer

Advantages: Good all round multimedia laptop
Disadvantages: Bulky, low battery life.

...Acer is a major world leader in IT solutions and are now the third largest manufacturer of laptops worldwide. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.

Review of Acer Aspire 9813WKMi

Acer plays the Ace card again!

Advantages: Small, lightweight, great performer. Can handle some 3D games.
Disadvantages: None for the Netbook, but Linux version is rubbish.

...I have revised my review after using the netbook for a while. I purchased the Acer A150 because I was going on a cruise and wanted something small and light. I decided on the Linux version of this netbook for £235, the Windows XP version is around £269. The Operating System First thing I need to say about it is Linux, what a joke with its limited functions and the hassle you need to go through to add new features. I wanted DivX support so I could watch movies at night but after a few hours looking for a suitable program and drivers I gave up. Linux isn't as straightforward as Windows and in many cases you have to open up a console and type commands when you want to install or make changes to an installation. I gave up and Installed Xp pro. If you are purchasing a Netbook with Linux and all you want to do is surf the net...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

Acer

Advantages: Good Value Product
Disadvantages: None

...Acer is one of the world leaders in IT systems. This is a good quality laptop that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. I've seen it for £530 (inc vat) from PC World although you...

Review of Acer TravelMate 7513WSMi

Be inspired by the Acer Aspire One A110

Advantages: Price, size, speed
Disadvantages: None so far

...--Background-- My wife has always moaned that she could never get onto the family PC as it was always being used by either my kids or myself. After doing a bit of research, she convinced me to buy her the Acer Aspire One netbook which she would use for web browsing and writing simple documents. I was a bit sceptical of the device, after all, to me it was just a cheap laptop. But, alas, she won and off I went to Currys armed with my credit card to begrudingly buy her one. --In the box-- The box in which the Aspire comes is very small. You'd be able to fit it under your arm and carry it no problem. As well as the netbook, there was a mains battery charger, a user manual and a recovery cd which I thought was strange considering there isnt a cd driver in the netbook!! --Initial Setup-- I must admit I found this impressive...

Acer Aspires To Be A Proper Laptop, And Nearly Pulls It Off

Advantages: Very portable, excellent keyboard. Battery life OK but not what is stated
Disadvantages: Slow to boot from 'cold'.

...-books is that they're all 'much of a much-ness'. For example, there's a whole clutch of them from half a dozen makers like Acer, Compaq, HP, Toshiba etc all sporting the same Intel processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, a 160 gigabyte hard drive and a 10.1" screen, and all, it would seem somewhere around the £220-£250 mark. Likewise, they were all sporting Windows XP Home Version as their operating system. The doubtful benefits of a shift to Vista seem to have been resisted presumably to keep the price down, in the hope no doubt, that Windows 7 was 'just around the corner', which of course for main stream machines, it is. Some even sport a free Linux operating system to help even further with the shekels. THE CHOICE IS MADE Thus it was that my eye was caught by an Acer net-book sporting twice as much RAM, a 250 gigabyte hard drive, and all...

acer 9301

Advantages: Built in camera and wifi enabled
Disadvantages: Not the lightest laptop available

...I recently purchased the acer aspire 9301 and so far i have been very impressed with my shiny new gadget. I picked out this model as after trying other ones that were available including the more expensive sony viao i decided that by buying the viao i wouldnt be gaining anything just wasting money on a fashion accesory. The Acer offers everything that you could possibly want and more and comes with a much more modest price tag. BASIC DESCRIPTION The 9301 certainly looks the part with its sleek silver and black exterior shell, 17 inch crysral brite tft display screen and a fabulous built in camera which swivels 225 degrees which allows the user to photograph themselves or someone sitting oposite them and can be used both for still shots and as a webcam. These features are enchanced greatly by the computers huge 120 gb hard drive...

  ACE ACER

Advantages: Great Wide Screen , Roomy Keyboard
Disadvantages: Not great user's guides

..., not like some keyboards which seem to be squashed together so much it's hard to type. The Keyboard itself is black set on a silver background. The Touchpad which acts like a computer's mouse is touch sensitive and I found this very easy to get the hang of (something I was a bit concerned about with a laptop). There is plenty of room for your wrists to rest as well, so typing etc is very comfortable. Below the Touchpad you have a left and right click button (as you would on a mouse) and a four way direction button in the centre for scrolling. There is an internal microphone located to the right of the palm rest which is for sound recording. To the right of the keypad there is a TV/Media/Volume buttons, these are for use when using media programs or for playing acer arcade games. The main powers button is located here...
