Benq

Advantages: Comes with a lot of useful software
Disadvantages: none

...The Benq Dwq1600 ia a robust DVD rewriter, which comes complete with software and plenty of built in technology disigned to ensure correct playing of unlevel DVDS and CDS. The software you get free is WinDVD Creator 2.8B, Win DVD4.0B, Record now! 7.1, Sonic DLA 4.9. I did find there to be a few problems with this drive, For a start it is only compatible with DVD+RW and DVD+R standards, there is no headphone outlet or volume control. ** The Overall Design ** The DW1600 has a standard specification, with a fairly fast speed on both single layer and dual-layer discs. Shiws good rewriteable media and is pipped to the post by the feature-filled LiteOn an fast MSI ** Speed ** +16X4X16 -N/A 9=(RXRWXread ** Access Time** 120ms ** Dual Layer ** Yes 2.4X The controls and indicators are very simple this is due to not...

Review of BenQ DW1610

Awesome BenQ 1920x1080 Full HD Monitor!

Advantages: 2ms, HDMI, Full HD 1080p
Disadvantages: The exterior of the monitor is a bit glossy.

...I bought the E2400HD 8 months ago and have loved it since the day I received it. I ordered it online and it came in three days later. It came in a standard brown BenQ box with the monitor, the stand, D-Sub, power cable, and an installation CD/manual. I bought it through a friend?s advice as he had bought the E2400HD when it first hit the shelves, and he has been telling me about how awesome it is ever since! It is hard not to agree with him, because the monitor just performs at a superb level and quality for the price range that it is competing in! The E2400HD would be what I?d like to call a multi-media/functional desktop/laptop peripheral display. It comes with HDMI and DVI support, and is loaded with 1080p (16:9 display or also known as 1920x1080), which gives the monitor a very beautiful bright and crisp display. Blu ray works...

Benq Joybook Review

Advantages: Battery Life, Portability, Performance
Disadvantages: Could be zippier

...included are a VGA out, and S-video out to connect to your TV. As this PC is aimed towards office/student use, the inbuilt video card is an onboard Intel Variety, offering substantial performance in windows. It utilises shared memory so gaming is a little out of the question. The sound card is quite reasonable, offering neat stereo sound via front mounted speakers, as well as mic/headphone ports. The general look and feel of this Laptop is excellent, with stylish silver plastic, and chromed buttons. Blue LED's for status lights certainly add to the effect, and at 2.4Kg it is quite a light PC to carry around. Benq is even kind enough to include a simple Polypropene (Think Wetsuit material) Slim Case for a little extra protection on the road. The included software is excellent, Windows XP Professional, NTI-CD Maker, Cyberlink DVD Viewer...

Review of V7 L17AB

ThankQ BenQ!

Advantages: Very cheap, very reliable, you probably wont run out for a long time!
Disadvantages: Can get damaged quite easily, no CD-cases to protect them

...Intro Recordable and re-writable CD's are one of the most popular forms of storage nowadays for computers, and this is no doubt down to the inevitable gradual-distinction of floppy disks, and the slump in prices for CDs. Nobody seems to use floppy disks anymore, they are too unreliable and can hardly fit any data too (1.44 MB usually) and when you compare this to the 700MB or so that CD's can hold, you can see why these are more popular. CD's can last over a hundred years too (according to the BenQ website) - if they are kept in the perfect conditions. Where I got them & price I decided to purchase these BenQ CD-R's as I felt that 100disks which hold 700MB, for only £10, is a really good price. This works out at about 10p per CD, which isn't bad at all! It sounds ridiculous that you can pay a couple of quid for a few floppy...

BenQ - The new Sony

Advantages: Looks good, Fast, Cheap, Great graphics
Disadvantages: Flimsy feel, not enough RAM

...BenQ? Had you heard of them a few months ago? Well I hadn’t. BenQ are new to Europe although they are well established in the Middle East. If you hadn’t heard of them before Euro 2004 you must do now! When I saw this laptop for an insanely low price a few months ago I was a little skeptical, but after days of research I couldn’t find anything to compete with it, and became more confident about BenQs reputation. So I went ahead and bought it, and I can honestly say this was the best thing I have ever spent £850 on! The laptop comes with the Centrino 1.4Ghz which is approximately equivalent to the P4 2.2Ghz, with the benefits of greatly increased battery life. BenQs quoted life of 6h is not far off from the actual 5 hours that you get from the battery. It also comes with all the standard bits: DVD/CD-RW drive, 256Mb...

BenQ M800, a Valuable Standard.

Advantages: Long Lifespan, LED Notifications, Quality Laser, Silent Clicks, Comfortable to Hold
Disadvantages: Wired, Complex LED Email

...The BenQ M800 Mouse is an outstanding combination of style and quality marketed at a reasonable price. This review covers the major aspects of the mouse including extra functions, laser quality, mobility and clicks, design and service length. The mouse came in a pretty box with an USB cable, a PS/2 adapter, installation CD and manual. I'm a very picky person and checked out mice in four different IT chains before buying this one. Because I'm a desktop PC owner, the fact that it is wired was a plus (it meant no recharging). Laptop owners might find this a restraint. LED Its major advantage is the LED light that can be selected out of three colours: red, green and blue. The colours are functionable, for the mouse can be programmed to flash a different light at a specified rate when you get a new...

Review of BenQ M800 - mouse

Benq D60 - high-quality compact

Advantages: Small, versatile, 6mp; allows manual over-rides, good quality lens and images
Disadvantages: complex menu system. Non-standard batteries - short life; watch the price

...I have had this camera for over 3 years now - I am a semi-pro film photogrpher and want to take a step into the digital world. This camera is an ideal replacement for a compact camera, PROVIDED the user is happy to fiddle with the buttons! Compared to most compact cameras, these are of reasonable size and are intuitive to use as the options menu is not too full. The lens and, subsequently, the images are VERY good, and the zoom is smooth; the digital zoom is hard to use smoothly though - far better to use this in the software on your PC. Really, you would NOT want to use this feature - fortunately, it can be turned off in the menu system. The battery lasts for only about 60 shots -so it is always better to carry a spare and they are not easy to obtain - the Benq site failed to reply to my questions in any meaningful way - I...

Review of BenQ DC C60

BENQ DC1300: FLASHY LITTLE NUMBER!

Advantages: Small, light, attractive, inexpensive
Disadvantages: Camera shake, hard to use at first

...I bought this camera about a week ago from Ebuyer.com and after 7 days of constant playing around with it and experimenting i'm about in a position to write it up i reckon. PRICE I paid about £44 for this including VAT and delivery and thats the cheapest i've seen it. I got it from ebuyer (see reviews) who seem to have been a bit inconsistent but for small non-essential items like this i would say they are pretty good on the whole. Elsewhere expect to pay about £10 more to go via a company with better customer service record. BASIC SPECS This is a 1.3 mega pixel camera so not really suited for anyone looking to do serious photgraphic work but if all your after is snapshots then it should do fine. I've not tried it yet but i'm told a decent digital printing lab will knock out passable 6x4" prints (i.e. the size you would get...

Opera v7 - A Panto

Advantages: It's not made by Microsoft. It's easy to use.
Disadvantages: Not all webpages seem to load up correctly

...also get versions for Linux, OS/2, Solaris, FreeBSD, QNX and Symbian. I'm a Windows person at the moment, at least until there is a viable alternative that I don't have to concentrate on in order to use, so I went for the Opera v7 Beta 2 download. If you're at all worried about Beta versions (which are the versions available before the software is put out for general use, and therefore may contain bugs), then you're best going for v6.05, which shows on the download page as the latest stable release (Christmas is over, so although there is a stable, alas there is no manger) for Windows. However, this review is about Opera v7, so on we go, choosing a Download location of Norway (which was the closest to the UK, and therefore should be the quickest to download) and clicking the "Download Now" button to start the download of the "With Java...
