Samsung CLP 300 - not worth buying

Advantages: Small laser printer
Disadvantages: Unreliable

...I always had and ink jet printer. But at work I used laser printers and I loved them. Unfortunately they have been far too big for home use. I am not sure why but I always have been convinced that a laser printer is somehow better- the speed, the quality, just everything. How wrong I was!!! A couple of months ago I saw the Samsung CLP-300 on a website and it looked brilliant. Well, everything looks brilliant if someone wants to sell it. Anyhow, for me it looked good enough. But I did not want to pay £150 for a new printer. So, I had a look in ebay. And there it was my Samsung CLP-300 for £100. Well, I bid on and got it for £112 in the end. The CLP-300 claims to be the world's smallest and lightest colour laser printer. Well, at least at that time. It?s measurements are 390 x 344 x 265 mm, which is pretty small for a laser...

Review of Samsung CLP 300

Colour That Doesnt Run

Advantages: Good Price, Small Package
Disadvantages: Small paper tray and no manual feed

...I have had a colour ink jet printer for years, and this has serviced me well, however I always used to get annoyed with the smudging that can occur whilst the ink is drying. Also when using a printed envelope the address would run if it was raining when the postman was delivering or on the way to the post box. I had always wanted a colour laser printer but they had always been put off by the price of the printers and the ongoing cost of consumables. However I was in my local PC World one weekend and spotted the Samsung CLP-300 for what I considered a reasonable price £150, so I picked one up. -----------The Specification----------- The CLP-300 claims to be the world's smallest and lightest colour laser printer! I am not sure if this claim is correct but the printer does come in a small package measuring in at 390 x 344 x 265...

Review of Samsung CLP 300

I say yes

Advantages: Speed, cost and quality
Disadvantages: Nothing I can think off at the moment

...This is a great printer. Beware that there are two types: The CLP 300 and the CLP 300N. The 300N is for networking. This means you can print to this printer from more than one PC if you have more than one PC in your house or office. For home use it is a waste of money because I do not print that often to justify networking. The quality is great and really amazing and the speed is mind blowing. If you need REAL photo quality printing, this is not for you because on closer inspection you will notice defects - Especially if you are a photo printing connoisseur. There is only one button - The on-off button, nothing else! Easy to use for the "not so computer literate", but could be disappointing for those who likes to tinker a bit. I also own an inkjet photo printer which is great when it comes to quality. The advantage of the laser...

Review of Samsung CLP 300

Pleasantly Surprised

Advantages: Price, Simple change of toners
Disadvantages: Relatively slow print speeds, Toner costs

...Normally I am not the greatest Samsung fan after my little episode with its <a href="http://www.ciao.co.uk/SamsungP10XTD1600FingerprintReview5680459">P10 laptop</a>, but here is my story for this. Being a graphic design student, I needed a printer that would print out designs on just about any sort of paper quickly and beautifully. I'm glad that CLP-300 didn't disappoint me...not yet anyway. Being the world's smallest colour laser printer, and winning the reddot design award in 2006, I really had hoped for something not to disappoint. Initially, it was definitely the price that caught my attention to this printer; as cheap as around £130 or so and you can already get CLP-300, this machine looks very simple and built from ground to make this printer so low-cost. Not to mention other attractions such as OSX-compatibility (woohoo...

Homedics SBM-300H

Advantages: Good quality massage, does as described
Disadvantages: Can't really think of any

...I've had some quite bad back pain for over twelve months now, with the main symptoms being lower back pain and stiffness. I've tried a few of those hand held massagers and one day when on holiday in Spain I used one of those massage chairs that you pay one Euro into and get a five minute shiatsu massage. It was absolute bliss and seemed to loosen up the muscles in my back considerably so I've been in search of something similar that won't break the bank ever since. Having done some research and read reviews I decided to purchase the Homedics SBM-300 from amazon.co.uk as it was quite cheap at £85.45 plus delivery. Having decided to splash out and have the guaranteed next day delivery it arrived very quickly and I eagerly opened the box. This particular model is described as a massage cushion and is able to fit to most chairs...

300 - okish

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: everything only if you watch another film before

...I have to admit I did do something wrong when watching this film. I happened to have watched "Meet The Spartans" before I watched this, so I kind of already knew the plot and sort of seriously got bored with this film, as I was expecting the funny bits come leaping out, unfortunately there was no funny bits and it was deadly serious, so at first I couldn't understand it but then I settled down to it however I have to admit I really do prefer the soundtrack over this film! The Director of the film is Zack Snyder, who is quite a new director and has only directed 3 films, "300" "Dawn Of The Dead" (Which I really do want to watch) & "Watchmen" (Which I'm not too sure about), he is not only a director but he is also a Producer and a writer! I don't know whether he is a good director considering he has only directed this film (That I have...

Review of 300 (DVD)

300 v's How Many?????

Advantages: excellent story, amazing effects, hunky half dressed men!
Disadvantages: Bit far fetched with creatures at the end

...this news very well and kills the messenger and sets about getting his army prepared for battle. He gets an army of 300 Spartans prepared, only men who have sons are allowed to fight so that their name can continue if they were to die in battle. The 300 set off in the face of danger whole hearted and ready to defend Sparta and their king. Will the 300 be able to take on the whole of the Persian Army and just what will become of King Leonidas and Sparta? This film did not appeal to me at first but after watching t many months ago I thought I would give it another go as I understood more now about the Spartans and the Persians. The first time I watched this I was constantly asking hubby questions about who was who and why they were fighting but this time I understood all of this and it did make it much easier for me to watch...

The HP 300's bigger, stronger brother

Advantages: prints lots
Disadvantages: none

...This range of print cartridges from HP is the bigger and better version of the HP300. Those of you who remember my stunning, wrongly uncrowned review of the HP300 will remember how it ran out after just 140 pages. Well, this time I splashed out on the upgrade. Basically, these cost £30 each, although I picked them up on ebay for around £19 brand new and sealed. They are print cartridges that do a lot more than the HP300. The black and white cartridge will give 600 pages of print (4 times what I got out of its baby brother at just twice the price). The colour one gives 440 pages. The cartridges are tidy and easy to install ? they just click into place. There?s no ink around and you won?t get ink everywhere which is ideal. The quality of the ink is stunning ? rich and dark, intense and thick, it looks brilliant. It never...

Review of HP 300XL - print cartridge (CC644EE)

Sennheiser CX 300

Advantages: Sound quality, bass, ability to block out background noise
Disadvantages: Very flimsy for the price and no case included

...I bought these roughly a year ago and they only lasted a few months. The sound quality is very, very good. Having been stuck using the basic iPod earphones prior to these, the CX 300 were a refreshing change. The bass on them is certainly more than adequate. Although some in-ear headphones don't block out background noise very well you won't have that problem with these. As long as you have the correct sized cover on the headphones the background noise will be blocked out completely meaning you can have your mp3 player on below half max volume and hear the music very clearly. Prior to these I'd never used in-ear headphones before and was somewhat concerned as to whether they'd be to hard and rough on my ear. The Sennheiser however are very soft, not too large and quite easy to use. So, why didn't they last me very long? The wire...

  Frank Miller's 300

Advantages: Six packs abound in a graphic and bloodly epic
Disadvantages: Highly stylised violence, perhaps not for everyone

...Background 300 is the second Frank Miller graphic novel to be adapted for the big screen. The first was the critically acclaimed Sin City and the director Zack Snyder has used the same process of photocopying panels from the original comic book to plan out the finished look of his latest movie. The final result is a visually stunning combination of live action and CGI that is remarkably faithful to Miller's original artwork. It is quite literally a comic novel brought to life and the superb quality of Miller's graphic creations are a guarantee of stunning eye candy throughout. Plot Summary The story of the movie is based on the Battle of Thermopylae, 480 BC in which 300 Spartan warriors held off a Persian army of up to 1 million indigenous and mercenary soldiers against all the odds. The two main protagonists are King Leonidas...
