AOC - A-OK!

Advantages: Large screen size, Durable, Easy to set up and use
Disadvantages: Chunky, not as good as TFTs

...but for anyone with an ounce of common sense this is an extremely simple procedure. It involved plugging the cables into the monitor and to their desired location, so the power socket to the mains and the computer connection to the computer. This device is plug and play and when the computer was turned on the monitor followed suit and was recognised straight away. Setting up the drivers was easy as windows did the hard work and in about 5-10 minutes, the basic process was complete. You can further set-up this monitor is the display settings with things such as the resolution and the colour quality as well as other advanced settings. However, I would only recommend only altering these if you know what you are doing. -Spec- Product Description - 19in/18v CRT 25mm Pure Flat/white/VGA Dimensions (w x d x h) - 17.6 in x 17.9 in x 17...

Review of AOC 9 Klr+

Dell Studio 17 Laptop.

Advantages: Great machine for small price.
Disadvantages: None

...This is the most affordable Laptop computer ever.. Dell Studio 17 the price is right about $380.00 Where in these days you can get a Note Book Computer with this kind of money? The Studio 17 is as attractive or desirable as an XPS laptop, but it is more appealing than an Inspiron. With that in mind, it achieves its objective: to be cheaper than an XPS without sacrificing too much in the way of looks. Yes indeed there are better replacement machines available, but the Studio 17 hold its own with most. With than in mind we are talking about /or $370.00- $380.00 price range. This machine is powerful, effective, good looking, light weight and easy to handle. The scree is wide and rezolution is fantastic. These days it's just doesn't pay to spend too much money on computers because tomorrow they will become absolite. So you spend...

Review of Dell Studio 17

Brilliant HD Laptop

Advantages: Thought has been put into every aspect of the laptop
Disadvantages: Bit low on usb ports

...Dell in my view are amazing with laptops, desktops, servers, the whole lot. This sleek Inspiron 17 is for me one of the best dell sells for value. If you buy from the dell website you can personalise it like add a bigger hard drive ect. Starting price at the dell website is £349 which includes VAT and shipping. The screen is superb, 17.3 inches and a wide screen like quite a few laptops. It has a 1600x900 resolution which HD giving spectacular quality. The base model comes with vista home basic and a nice 160 GB hard drive. The battery life is quite good around 6 hours I can get out of mine not watching a hd video. It has a built in 1.3MP webcam with microphone along with the base which is good quality. Includes 3 usb ports and also comes with ATI Mobility Radeon graphics. There are many cool and sleek colours you can choose from along...

Review of Dell Inspiron 17

17 Again: a star is born.

Advantages: funny, light hearted, hot
Disadvantages: bit teenagey, hollywood, screaming girls

...I believe in Zac Efron. I believe that behind the singing, the dancing, the basketball, the Disney brainwashing, the Hollywood smile, the flowing soft hair, the chiselled good looks, the piercing blue eyes you can swim in, the toned, muscular bo... Hmm... Seems I got a tad carried away there. Where was I? Ah yes, I believe that behind all that superficial (yet godlike) nonsense, there is a bloody good actor behind Mr. Efron?s perfect visage. I believe that one day we will all see the artist formerly known as Troy Bolton lifting one of those prestigious gold men in triumph of being able to break free from tween sensation to the star of our time. To say that in 17 Again, Zac is soaring, flying, there not being a star in heaven that he can?t reach would not only be the worst joke of all time, but also completely accurate. In High...

Boots 17 Liquid Eyeliner

Advantages: Quite cheap; didn't irritate skin or eyes; looks okay
Disadvantages: Pale colour, thin texture, poor staying power

...I don't feel fully made-up without wearing liquid eyeliner, which gives a definite, precise line on the upper eyelid to enhance the lashes and define the eye. Not all cosmetic brands produce liquid eyeliner; for instance, I don't think Maybelline or Boots Natural Collection offer one in their ranges. I experiment with different brands of make-up occasionally to make sure I'm not missing out on bargain prices or better quality items. If I recall correctly, I bought the 17 Liquid Eyeliner as part of a money-saving offer (3 for 2 on 17 cosmetics). It is usually priced at £3.91 for a tube. One tube of liquid eyeliner tends to last me a few months, so that is a reasonable price. Boots describe it as "a creamy and smudge proof eye liner perfect for creating a defined and dramatic look". I bought it in Black, my usual shade. The liquid...

Review of Boots No.17 Liquid Eyeliner

J17 - J 17 or Just 17

Advantages: Good for teens, tackles current problems with a good approach, latest news, gossip, fashions
Disadvantages: expensive, many adverts

...J 17 – is it ‘J17’, ‘J 17’ or ‘Just 17’? Over the last few years, its name seems to have changed numerous times; can’t they make up their mind? Unfortunately, they also cannot make up their minds about the price. When I first bought the magazine, it cost me about £1.40 – far too expensive, yet now, for the same magazine, it is an astonishing £1.90. Lucky for me, my parents pay for it, because I can honestly say I doubt I’d waste £1.90 a month on a magazine, however popular/good/fashionable it is. The magazine is usually about 122 pages long, with on average, 18 of these being taken up with adverts. Although annoying in principle, the prices would be even higher without them, and what they do actually advertise, is relevant to teens, and I have occasionally bought a new...

Review of J 17

No17 Metallic Eyeshadow

Advantages: High pigment colour, well priced
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...revamped No17 range. No17 Metallic Eyeshadow it was called unfortunately I don't have the name of the shade to hand as I am at work at the moment but I will add it at a later date for anyone who is interested. Now I must admit I don't usually tend to buy anything from the No17 cosmetic range as I can never seem to find anything I really like that much but since they have had an overhaul I have found a few items that I like. The eyeshadow which comes in a small pot and comes in tablet form has a silver plastic container with a clear screw lid with the distinctive 17 logo on it in silver writing. One of the things I liked about the pot was that the lid was totally clear so you could easily see the colour of the shadow through it, there's nothing worse than having to keep opening up pots to see what the colour is like inside. They do...

Review of Boots No.17 Metallic Eyeshadow

Boots 17 Sheer Shine Eye Creme

Advantages: nice colours
Disadvantages: streaky if you dont use a brush

...****Boots 17 Sheer Shine Eye Creme**** I actually got this in a 17 kit i bought in the January sales because i liked the bag and was willing to pay the price for the bag on its own. My 2 eye cremes therefore stayed in the bottom of my make up bag until i came across them the other day when i was having a clear out. **The range** Number 17 is a cheaper version of the boots no7 range and is only available at boots. I think it is mostly aimed at teenagers who don't have as much to spend on cosmetics. **Packaging** The packaging from this makes me think of several lip glosses that i own. It is the exact same shape as a no7 lip gloss i have and the only difference i can see is that the applicator is longer. **Product** One of the things i like about this is that it does not have a smell. According to the web site there are 6 different...

Review of 17 Sheer Shine Eye Creme

17 Blusher.... Not bad, and CHEAP

Advantages: Very nice price, matches my skin, lasts a while
Disadvantages: Hard to remove if you over-apply, crumbles when dropped.

...'t do very well if you drop it. It's okay when it's relatively new, but once you're down to half a pack it's apt to crumble if you drop it by accident. Once it's crumbled it's very loose and can fly all over the place, which is a pain when it's trodden into pale carpet. It also makes application more difficult, as you have to dab VERY gently at the crumbs or you get far too much. I wouldn't use this with many of the other 17 products. This is the only 17 product I use, otherwise it's Rimmel and Urban Decay, but on its own with better quality make-up this blusher can hold it's own. Pretty good... I keep buying it....

Review of Boots 17 Blush Powder

"17 Again" A review of the 'Sci-fi' Comedy

Advantages: Some funny parts, different storyline and well known actors
Disadvantages: Different storyline, weird song/music and bad special effects

...17 Again is about a man who looks back on his life and regrets his decisions when he's middle-aged, married and has children. On a myserious hectic night he transforms from the unhappy grumpy man to himself when he was just 17. When I heared about this film I sort of thought that when he turned to 17 again, everything would go back in time and he can start a new, but actually only he goes back in time to become 17 again which makes things a little more interesting. The storyline is alright, I didn't like the way how he actually turned back time and became 17 again, because he just fell into a sort of whirl pool, I think it would have been a bit better if something different happened to him to make him 17 again. I thought the cast worked pretty well. Zac Efron was a good choice since he's a new found star and has a huge fan base...
