HP Pavilion dv5

Advantages: Good quality laptop, great appearance
Disadvantages: Games are a no-no.

...A well designed, high quality affordable laptop, the HP pavilion dv5 doesn't fail to please in looks, performance or price. In terms of look and design, flashy is a good word for it. It has a glossy black case which shines in the light, then you open it. The keyboard-surround is split horizontally: the bottom half is very light silver with a white check pattern, and the upper half perforated silver plastic. Around the edge of the laptop, there is a chrome-effect strip which sparkles and shimmers. Even the mouse pad has a finish that is so reflective you can see your face in it. This is the 'bling-bling' of the laptop world. It also feels pretty solid, I don't think you would be able to break it easily and I have faith in it's durability and robustness. It is also quite light, weighing 2.65kg, not bad for a laptop it's size. Ok...

V For Vendetta - an intelligent graphic novel adaptation

Advantages: Strong story, good performances
Disadvantages: Not as action packed as some may want

...As always, I'll do my best to summarise V For Vendetta without including any spoilers but if I accidentally let something slip that you think might ruin it for another viewer, please leave a comment and I'll remove the offending information as soon as possible! PLOT: V For Vendetta is a 2005 film adaption of the graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Set in 2034, the film focuses on Britain which has become a totalitarian dictatorship under the control of the Norsefire regime. Evey Hammond, a somewhat naïve employee of the British Television Network (BTN), runs into trouble when she is out past curfew and runs into some Finger men who are a sort of secret police for Norsefire. It becomes clear that these men are used to being above the law but they are in for a shock as Evey is rescued by a man in a Guy Fawkes...

Disadvantages: Speaker are not too good

...Motorola V3 was the first motorola phone i buy with my money, when it first launched at the year of 2003 (i guess) i was exhausted to buy it, but the price was very high at that time so i have to collect my money first, and in the end of 2005, after a quite long time of waiting, i finally bought it, the phone of my dream =) i like this phone because of its the thinnest phone at that time and especially the design was very impressive, fit in my pocket, easy to use, i can take a picture every time i want (cause my old phone doesn't have any camera) although its camera still VGA, on my point of view this phone is almost complete except for one thing, the speaker are not to good, especially when playing song or make a call.

Review of Motorola V3

My V3

Advantages: Easy to use and some nice features
Disadvantages: Battry life is not the best

...Over view I have had my V3 for 22 months now and it has been very reliable, it feels nice to hold and use and easy to fit in pocketswithout bulging. It is light and a nice colour (grey metal). The keyboard feels nice and is nicely illuminated when using. The display has a nice viewing area. I love my V3, it is still fashionable and up to date Keypad I love the keys on the V3 they are stylish and easy to use, your finger glides easily over them and easy to press the keys. The keys on the side of the phone often get pressed if the phone is in your pocket. Price I brought it as part of a deal, the phone was free and I got a free blue tooth ear peice which I vary rarely use - I was paying £20 per month for 6 months and now I pay £16 and get some free minutes and texts included. Battery The battery charges quite quickly...

Review of V for Vendetta

Pioneer DV-600AV quality for good price

Advantages: High quality video, supports many formats
Disadvantages: Confusing labels on remote controller

...Pioneer DV-600AV was interesting for me because it has possibility to play DVD-Audio and SACD and it has got integrated decoder with analog output for 5.1. Extra interesting is the quality of sound which some DVD players are having bad quality. Quality of sound was pretty good with nice serve of acustic which i wasnt able to heat on my older players. I/O Back side includes HDMI, component Video, S-video, audio 5.1, scart, optic and koaxial output.On the front panel is placed conector USB 1.1 for USB devices. There should be more conectors, but on the other hand we shall be glad that none of the important connectors is missing. Extern USB devices are not supported as manufacturer has written. In the real it is working with no problems:) I tried from flash disk Kingston Data traveller II. It is possible to play mp3 with variate...

Motorola V3 Black

Advantages: Slimline, Light, Ease of use
Disadvantages: Battery life, camera, memory

...I had this phone as a birthday present to replace my old monochrome Nokia. It would be unfair to compare the 2 as they are chalk and cheese as mobile technology has moved on greatly in the period between purchasing the 2 phones. The v3 has all the features I required, namely mp3 ringtones, bluetooth and a camera. As I am not a heavy mobile phone user this was more than adequate for me. The camera is only a standard VGA (256k) camera which, compared to the latest camera phones is way out of date, but in the year I've had the phone I'm probably only ever used the camera 2 or 3 times anyway, so for me this is not a problem. It has a 4 times zoom which does give you a bit of flexibility if you need to get that close up piccy. The phone comes with a large selection of built in polyphonic ringtones, so of which are good, some not...

Review of Motorola V3

V3RY good flipping phone!

Advantages: stylish, small, fits in every handbag
Disadvantages: not as robust as other mobiles

...***MOTOROLA*** Motorola was founded in 1928 by Paul Galvin. The first product was a 'battery eliminator' so that people could operate radios from household power rather than batteries. The name Motorola suggests 'sound' in 'motion'. The company has continued to grow and develop keeping up with new trends and inventions. Motorola are always changing and updating their products. I have had three Motorola phones and one negative experience. The V3 however is an amazing little phone and I will tell you a little about it below. ***APPEARANCE*** The first thing I noticed about this phone was how thin it is. I can't stand bulky phones that are impossible to fit in a small pocket. This phone is perfect for me as can pop in my jacket pocket or in my jeans. It does not feel uncomfortable and does not stick into me. Working in a school I...

Review of Motorola V3

V for Vendetta.

Advantages: Thought provoking film.
Disadvantages: Slows down in the middle part.

...Hello there and welcome to my 27th review on Ciao. Today I have was given my Easter present from my beloved, knowing that I have a slight passion for these types of film she bought me the 2 disc set of V for Vendetta on DVD. Now this was not a film that I saw when released at the cinema at all as I didn't think that it would interest me. Well safe to say now after watching it that I was well wrong on this matter, please read on?.. ---The Source--- V for Vendetta was originally a graphic novel released in the early part of the 1980's. Originally published as a strip in Warrior, a publication along similar lines as 2000AD which at this time was selling at its peak. This told a story of a rebel in a broken society attempting to drive through change by any means, this was at a time when the Conservative Party was starting to...
