Angelcare Monitor

Advantages: Peace of mind.
Disadvantages: Remember to turn off when lifting baby out of cot

...I knew from the outset that i would be one of those paranoid mum's constantly worrying about my baby & wondering if he was still breathing through the night, so I invested in the Angelcare monitor with movement sensor mat. The set includes a 'baby unit', 'parent unit' & movement sensor mat. The mat is placed under baby's mattress (if like mine, the base of the cot is slatted, or you're using it in such a moses basket, then you will need to place the mat on a firm surface such as a piece of plywood under the mattress), & is so sensitive that it can detect even the lightest of breathing. The mat connects to the baby unit which then transmits to the parent unit. If no movement (yes, even light breathing counts as movement) is detected for 20 seconds, an alarm sounds on both the baby & parent units, enabling time to get to your baby...

ASUS EEE PC 701 - Small but perfectly formed

Advantages: Size, Ease of Use
Disadvantages: Small keyboard, small screen

...This review looks at one of many netbooks to be released in the UK over the past few months, ASUS's EEE PC 701 SD. The model I have is fitted with Windows XP and has an 8Gb hard drive. I bought it on special offer for £155. Appearance The 701SD is absolutely tiny. It weighs around a kilogram and is roughly the same size as a hardback reading book when in the closed position. It comes in a neat box along with instructions,a mains charger, a protective case and a system CD. It has a 7 inch screen which is absolutely tiny but is still perfectly functional. The unit has three USB sockets, headphone and microphone jacks, and SD memory card slot, a small webcam above the screen and a microphone positioned just underneath the keyboard. It has a small touchpad which is small but works in exactly yhte same way as a normal sized laptop...

Good cheap baby monitors (Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance Monitor)

Advantages: 100% portable, mains or battery powered, good solid units
Disadvantages: Can eat through batteries

...Recently the video baby monitors that I had been given (second hand) gave up the ghost so I had to purchase a new set. I decided that I didn't need a video one again or one with any other fancy gimmick on it (one that plays a melody etc), I wanted a nice basic and reasonable cheap monitor just so I could hear when she wakes up in a morning etc. After looking online at the hundreds of monitors available (most of which are very expensive) I found the Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance and after reading a couple of reviews I decided that this one should do the job just fine. Whats in the Box? In the box you get a set of instructions whish tell you how to get started and how to use all of the various features these monitors have, you also get two baby monitor unit, one is the baby unit and one is the Parent Unit and you get two mains adaptors...

Review of Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance Baby Monitor

A Quality Monitor

Advantages: Many functions, clear sound, no interference, talk back
Disadvantages: Temp sensor maybe a bit sensitive

...We recently borrowed this monitor from a friend - it's on our wish list but we can't really afford to buy one, so we are trialling this one at the moment. Due to us borrowing it, we were never given an instruction manual, but have still managed to figure out most of the functions with success! And compared to our Tomy Walkabout, this is a fantastic monitor, even if it is a little pricey (£69.99 I think) The Baby Unit: This unit has 9 buttons across the top: -On/Off Switch -Rec button (which I think is to record your voice but we haven't used this function) -Page (to page the parent unit I presume if you've lost it somewhere) -A button with three circles on - I think this is to increase or decrease the brightness of the nightlight -Nightlight -Volume up -Volume down -Play/Stop (the lullabies) -Music (to select...

The Nation's Favourite Computer Shop

Advantages: Store layout, Convenience, Range of products, Lower Web prices for Collect @ Store
Disadvantages: Price of accessories and some items, Queues, Selection of certain items

...sections, many of which have a large signs labelling the section high up on a wall or hanging from the ceiling. This is similar to what you will find in a supermarket, which I like very much, as it makes locating things much easier when looking for something specific. You will also find a PC World Business section, Tech Guys and Reserve and Collect section but I?ve also seen small sections dedicated to Apple Mac computers and iPods. Most of the larger stores seem to be arranged quite similarly whereby you are greeted by displays of computing accessories such as mice, keyboard, webcams, etc. near the entrance, followed by PCs, laptops in the middle, and digital cameras, TVs, a networking items at the back. I like the store layout very much as things are usually relatively easily to find and everything is usually quite tidily displayed...

THE LILIPUT MONITOR.

Advantages: THE DESIGN ATTRACTIVE WITH BRIGHT SCREEN DISPLAY.
Disadvantages: NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PRODUCT

...Well as things may be, this is my first time of using a lilliput monitor and I have seen that it is of the high quality type. The LCD monitor is capable of projecting high quality pictures and with bright colour display. The lillliput are the professional manufacturers of most TFT LCD monitors. Now lets come down to the monitor's capabilities and features. The monitor also comes with a touch screen technology and with a touch pen included, that is quite marvelous and interesting to use and on the other hand comes with a remote control wireless and with built in audio, which produces high quality and likable sound. The monitor also has English on screen display menu and with programmable auto on features. Well I got this some couple of moths ago and have not gotten any problem with it so far. Quite durable and very easy...

Cat Eye Vectra computer

Advantages: Simple to use, sturdy and reliable, great value for money
Disadvantages: A pain to set up

...require so I bought one. As with all my Evans purchases to date the transaction was very easy, smooth and the delivery took a couple of days. In the box you get the display unit, the sensor, the magnet, cable ties and backing plates and fitting/operation instructions. The instructions booklet was exceptionally thick and I naturally thoguht that it was going to be a bit of a mission. However, closer inspection highlighted that the instructions were in English, Spanish, German, Chinese, Turkish etc etc. You name the language and I bet that it is on there! Fitting the computer was an easy task. The sensor was cable tied to the forks, the display unit was cable tied to the stem and the magnet was screwed on to one of the spokes - ensuring that it passed the sensor on the forks. It took 5 minutes. Setting the computer up to work was...

Pocket sized portability with the Asus Eee Pc 701

Advantages: Price, size, portability
Disadvantages: Processor power, memory capacity

...The ASUS EEE PC 701 model is an extremely affordable, small and portable netbook with a 7" screen and built in wifi card designed primarily for internet use. The standard model comes with a built in 2 gigabyte solid state hard drive and comes in a variety of colours and finishes ranging from matt white through to pastel pink. The white ones are probably your best bet as in my opinion they are slightly more stylish, echoing shades of the Macbook Air. The EEE PC comes with a built in microphone on all models and webcam on most models and runs on a Linux based operating system although it can be configured to run on a Windows based system. Windows based versions are planned for release by the company shortly. The Linux distribution is extremely stable with a Windows like user interface although for those not quite used to Linux you...

Cheap cadence computer

Advantages: Has a cadence sensor, good for turbo training
Disadvantages: Wired, small screen, not waterproof, useless for outdoor use

...Despite its name the Trek Incite 11i computer has just ten functions, which include current speed, an odometer, trip distance, elapsed time, 12/24 hour clock, average speed, pacer, maximum speed, temperature and cadence. The cadence sensor measures how many revolutions per minute you are turning the pedals, and this function is generally found on much more expensive cycling computers, therefore you may wish to consider this computer if you participate in spinning training. Except for the temperature function, all functions are likely to be used by all cyclists in training. Personally, I can?t see the point of the temperature feature as it doesn?t add anything to the overall computer. One thing to note is the lack of stopwatch, which is a bit of a let down, however, there is a clock that starts once you start pedalling which you...

Angel care baby monitor set my mind at rest!

Advantages: easy to use, flexible, gives peace of mind
Disadvantages: unable to think of any!

...This product was a definite good purchase! I was quite overwhelmed with how much choice there was in the market as to which baby monitor to buy and I settled on this one as it sounded ideal. The product is a senor pad which detects tiny movements and will alarm after 20 seconds if there has been no movement so, for example, if your baby stopped breathing an alarm would go off after 20 seconds alerting you to this. The sensory pad is a flat square which you place underneath the cot mattress so it isn't bulky or uncomfortable for the baby to lie on. The pad is attached to the monitor which is really easy to use. It has a night light- which we turn off every time we turn the pad on so we can tell just by looking if we have remembered to turn it on! it also has a light which flickers every time your baby moves but this light is...
