My Travelling White Angel (MSi WiND)

Advantages: Connects instantly to previous networks; 1kg easily carried; WindowsXP; Big Keyboard; Bluetooth
Disadvantages: Pre-installed Office 2007 Professional w/60-day trial; MSi Q-face; Function Key

...interfering with my using my sticks, unlike the Latitude. * It is very easy to type: I love the creamy-white large clearly labelled keys which are easily pressed. * Easy to read webpages on 10" widescreen non-glare back-lit LCD screen (at any angle) * It turbo-charges the battery, so it is recharged quickly. * I can transfer pictures via Bluetooth directly from my phone and edit them. * It is robust and classy looking both. * good sound quality through integral stereo speakers (either side of base at front) Drawbacks * It is only a notebook, so it does not have a CD-ROM/DVD Drive, athough an external one can easily be used via one of the 3x USB 2.0 sockets. * The Keyboard will require getting used to if you are a touch-typist. * MSi Q-face (Whatever it is meant to do) is just annoying with no explanation of what it is...

Review of MSI Wind PC

Advent 4211c (re-branded MSI Wind)

Advantages: Cheap and easy to use
Disadvantages: No optical drive,battery not amazing

...The Advent 4211 is an often overlooked re-branded version of the MSI Wind. It is powered by the Intel Atom 1.6GHZ processor and has 1GB RAM as standard which I upgraded to 2GB. My version has the 80GB hard drive which is plenty of space for me. I find the 10.2in monitor just big enough to be comfortable and wouldn't recommend going for any Netbooks with 8in monitors as they would be a little small. It runs a cut down version of XP Home with ease and can cope with most general office type tasks with no problem. There is no optical drive so I purchased a very cheap CD drive which is fine if the Advent is a secondary laptop. I would recommend buying a more expensive optical drive if you don't have access to another laptop. The biggest problem I had with the Advent was when I crashed it. There is no recovery disc as it has an internal...

CD-OK

Advantages: Store yor data, free your hard drive
Disadvantages: come on a spindle and have no cases

...I recently managed to fill up my 80GB Hard drive with all sorts of rubbish and needed some CD's to store my information on. Usually I would buy them from Tesco's, but as I was In a hurry I popped into my local computer retailer (Northbridge Computers in Lowestoft) to see what he had available. All he had on this occassion was TDK CD-R80 discs. There was single CD's in cases, boxs of ten in cases and spindles of twenty-five and one hundred. I plummeted for the spindle of twenty-five as I wasn't rich enough at the time to buy the big fat one hundred spindle. ***Product*** The disc's themselves are light blue with a silver swirl on it. TDK CD-R80 is clearly stamped on it. There is plenty of room to write on them and they can store up to 700MB of data or 80 minutes recording time. They are ideal for backing up files, pictures, photos...

MSI's novel concept

Advantages: Great double as a stereo
Disadvantages: Needs more

...This is your normal SFF(small form-factor) PC with an integrated AM/FM and CD player that allows you to listen to the radio and play MP3 and CD Audio while your computer is turned off. Yes, you read that right. Externally, what sets the Mega PC apart from other SFF PCs is its LCD display. The LCD functions as in an ordinary stereo. It shows status information such as volume, equalizer settings, station frequency and the like. It also comes with an infrared remote to control the stereo functions (though none of the PC functions). The front of the Mega PC is filled with switches for the stereo functions such as play, rewind, fast forward, power and mode. Also at the front bezel is a lid to cover the CD-ROM drive. It works by being pushed by the optical drive's tray when ejecting a disc. When the tray retracts...

Review of MSI MEGA PC

48 Hour CD Service

Advantages: Cheap chart and new releases. 48 hour delivery typical
Disadvantages: Postage may or may not be included in listed price

...101cd have always serviced me well with my CD needs. I tend to order from either these guys, or Amazon. 101cd have very good deals on chart and new releases. These go for £9.99 which includes p+p. Typically you can expect your order to arrive in around 48 hours. They always have a good budget range for sale, usually these are around the £6-8 mark. You pay p+p on top of these though. As expected you can search by artist, title etc, and look through the whole catalogue. There is very rarely a cd they do not have. Prices do vary though, and they may not be the cheapest around. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't! They do offer imports and rare releases. These often seem to be sourced from other retailers, so you may benefit by going directly to that retailer for the rare or import cd you may want. You can earn ipoints by...

Review of 101CD

Sega Mega CD? Sega Mega Crap!

Advantages: Grandfather of CD consoles
Disadvantages: The Sega Saturn should have been the grandfather

...Do you know why Sega stopped making games consoles after the Dreamcast and concentrated on making software for other consoles? It is because Sega?s executives have always made stupid, ill-informed decisions. I mean, how many mistakes can a company make before they start to wise up and start doing things properly to make a profit and appeal properly to their fans? The Dreamcast was a step in the right direction, but it was already too late and Sega knew it as well. So now I present you with genesis, the beginning of Sega?s bad decision making with this horrid contraption called the Sega Mega CD. It was made to prolong the life of its aging console, the Sega Mega Drive, since the old ?16bit? and ?BLAST PROCESSING? marketing ploys stopped working. I remember in my childhood that only the rich kids could afford a Mega CD because it was way...

Review of Sega Mega CD

CD WOW - ABSOLUTE RUBBISH....

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: No Stock, Don't deliver, Misleading emails

...******Please update at bottom of this review******* Over the years I have used several internet sites when it comes to purchasing DVD's and other gifts for family and friends. I have always found the site that offers good customer service, value for money as well as a prompt delivery. Out of all those companies the worst has to be, without a doubt, CD WOW...... I have an MBNA Reward card and I exchanged some points for a CD WOW e-voucher. Up to this point I had never used the company and so I started looking for the DVD of my choice to use the voucher. The Company CD WOW is based in Hong Kong and was formerly of budget record label, Tring International. They ship from multiple countries including: United Kingdom, Hong Kong, USA, Republic of Ireland, Australia, Sweden, Spain and Germany. In 2000 they started...

MSI 7600GT. AGP Cards Still Kicking

Advantages: Ample Memory for an AGP, Fits in mATX Cases, No Noise, Low Power, Overclockable
Disadvantages: AGP Slot, No DirectX 10 Support, Max Anisotrophy x4

...The MSI GeForce 7600GT is an AGP graphics card with DirectX 9 support and basic video, analog and DVI sockets. It comes in a large box with an analog to digital adapter, installation manual, overclocking specifications, a driver CD with MSI's software, bundled with Adobe Reader and other free programs. This review summarises the product's advantages and disadvantages for a user with an older AGP-equipped motherboard. If your computer has PCI-E support, skip this card. All criteria in this review are regarding AGP cards only. So is the rating. AGP? Some of you might wonder what's the point in getting an AGP card these days. The answer is simple: some users simply do not wish to buy a new motherboard just for a PCI-E slot. Moreover, AGP cards still can provide you enough performance to boot and run games on high...

Best CD prices on the net

Advantages: Good service, cheap prices
Disadvantages: Inevitable time delay between ordering and receiving goods

...CD Wow is a site that I found out about through Dooyoo and Ciao so since I tend to spend a lot of my disposable income on CD's I decided to check it out. Wow is the word I was very impressed and all the claims I had heard regarding what a good service and how cheapo it was were all true. >>>THE BASICS<<< CD Wow is an online shop where you can buy CD's and more recently DVD's. The web address is: www.cd-wow.com The biggest advantage of using this site is the price of the CD's. They normally charge a max of £8.99 (single CD) for any CD listed on site, including new and chart CD's. Since the Postage and packaging is free this price represents a very good deal when compared to other online or high street CD outlets. When you log on to the main page you are faced with three separate sections to choose from. *The Top 20...

Cd Wow Indeed

Advantages: Online/secure payment and free postage
Disadvantages: Takes a few days to arrive/limited choice

...I'd read a review here on Ciao on CD WOW and a few days later a friend of mine mentioned it too. So I decided it was time to investigate further...... So off I went to www.cd-wow.co.uk Simple site designed in black, red and blue. I decided to sign up. This whole process took, five mins max! You just had to supply a few details including email address etc. Your email address doubles as your username and you have to make up a password for your account. On the left hand side of the page is as the top twenty CDs (based on UK CHARTS) and in the middle pre-releases and a review of a new album (at the moment David Gray) then on the right hand side has a ad telling you about the amazing free delivery, customer service details, dvds, and games. A little background info on the company (all these details can be found on the page) are...
