Samsung NC10 Review

Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard
Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad

...I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'! My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop. Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life. I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks. Buying a full size (15.4") laptop seemed a bit pointlesss as i have two tower pc's which are my main machines, so this was just to be about casual surfing/ reading emails/ browsing while on the move. The Samsung NC10 is in my view one of the very best netbooks out there, the keyboard is just shy of being full size so no cramped typing (this review was written on it) Combine this...

Samsung NC10 Netbook

Advantages: Lots of connectivity - Big keyboard - excellent screen - Good spec
Disadvantages: bad sleeve to store netbook - battery life not that long - small touchpad

...I managed to pick up this netbook for £299 which is oustanding value - from play.com. The netbook is very light and can fit almost anywhere - it is very easy to carry around - you can set up anywhere and very easily connect to the internet where available. The netbook looks very stylish and everything is laid out well. The keyboard is the biggest i have ever seen on a netbook - its almost full size which is a bonus as I have a lot of typing to do. One disadvantage of this is that the mousepad has been made very small which is a nuisance - you do get used to it but it is not ideal. The specs for this netbook are impressive I mean a massive 160GB hard drive, a 10.2 inch screen. 1 GB of RAM and a 1.6GHZ intel atom processor. This spec allows the netbook to operate very fastly - the whole 6 months I have had this netbook - it has...

Delonghi DEM 10

Advantages: Efficient
Disadvantages: None

...Our large, four bedroom house is over 200 years old and therefore has no cavity walls to insulate. After a cold and damp 2008 summer we were suffering from condensation and mould problems in spite of extractor fans in both kitchen and bathroom. Time to dehumidify! We bought our DEM 10 at Curry's for £99.99. It is compact, easily moved with a fold-out top carry handle and absolutely idiot proof in use. The level of humidity that the unit will pull down to can be controlled via a knob on top of the housing and there is a full tank warning light. The water tank is transparent so that the water level can be seen at a glance and the tank is so easy to remove for emptying - and, more importantly, to replace. Try some of the competition! A length of polythene hose is supplied to enable continuous draining should you want to leave the unit...

Samsung NC10 Black netbook a lightweight and excellent netbook

Advantages: Great screen, excellent battery life,
Disadvantages: Poor speakers, personal headphones or additional speakers definitely help

...I bought my NC10 to replace my laptop which was just too heavy to be carrying to and from work everyday. I purchased my NC10 on a promotion weekend from a high street store beating online prices significantly. I was trying to avoid big bulky items to carry as I was on crutches at the time. Not recommended but straight out of box into my rucksack in the shop from which it was purchased. Didn't notice much weight difference in my bag at all. The Samsung NC10 has served me dilligently now being used more and more instead of my normal laptop as battery life is excellent. I use the NC10 round the house for coursework, work and even during my work lunch. The screen is bright and very easy to read, I primarily use the NC10 at home for surfing the net to shop and for music in the background. I have an extensive playlist on Spotify...

Lets Fifa 10

Advantages: An almost perfect football simulation
Disadvantages: Some would say its Fifa 09 all over again

...Introduction I wasn't intending on getting Fifa 10 until Christmas but when I saw it advertised for under £25 on the day of release, I had to rush out and buy it as I knew it would never be as cheap as this again until well after Christmas. I had played the demo a few weeks before the actual release, and while the game was good, it didn't look that much different from Fifa 09 which I had only owned for 6 months. With this scepticism, I loaded the game up and began wondering if I had just paid £25 for the same game. First Impressions After sitting through the introduction of Wayne Rooney evading a slide tackle from Frank Lampard, you get to the main menu. Now call my cynical but it appears that Electronic Arts may also think that consumers will have trouble identifying the new features of this game as they have...

Fusion Cuisine - on the Cheap!

Advantages: Great taste, long lasting, good size pieces
Disadvantages: Ridiculous amount of packaging

...chew than their standard gum, without it being too sweet. The flavour lasts too - I tend to get bored of chewing gum after about 10 minutes, but after this time I still have a lot of flavour in the gum - more so than I would with their normal peppermint stuff. The flavour also seems to stick around my mouth for longer after getting rid of it than normal gum would - another bonus. You should be able to find this stuff for sub-50p prices, which is actually ok - a little more expensive than "normal" gum, but not extortionately so. You will recognise it by the huge blue and red cardboard box proudly saying "Extra Fusion" on the front. Because this is sugar free gum, it contains Phenylalanine - the stuff that is put into most sugar free sweeties which can cause laxative effects. It'll take a lot of Phenylalanine to send you to the toilet...

Review of Wrigleys Extra Fusion

FIFA 10

Advantages: Hours of Play, Smooth Gameplay, Variety
Disadvantages: Commentary, Glitches (See review)

...and again, this doesn't seem to be a problem this year. The sound quality still isn't very good though. All of your stats are still saved within your 'Player HUB' and online leaderboards are there as always. The leaderboards at the moment appear to rank the top 10,000 in the world and top 10,000 in each country. At the moment I'm ranked around 7000 in GB, but don't have a ranking spot in the world rankings. 10v10 Team Play is still here. You can now play friends more easily. Previously when I wanted to play with just my friends I had to create a room then start as quick as possible without anyone else joining (there may have been an easier way), but now you can invite your friends to a private game. Nothing could really have been improved here unless they included the goalkeeper or substitutes, so when you're fed up with your real friends...

Fusion Windows and Mac together

Advantages: great package which enables you to have windows applications on your mac
Disadvantages: None

...for the package on EBay is slightly more expensive then it is on the VMware or apple resellers websites so looking around for a cheaper deal is probably most advisable. System Requirements * Intel® Mac required. * Minimum 1GB of RAM (2GB RAM recommended). * 400 MB free disk space for VMware Fusion, and at least 5GB for each virtual machine. * Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later. * Operating system installation media (disk or disk image) for virtual machines Thanks for reading :O) Lisa © just.bcoz 2008...

Review of VMware Fusion 2.0 (Mac)

Wrigley's Extra Fusion - Got Strawberry but Where's the Peach?

Advantages: Pleasant flavour. Nice concept.
Disadvantages: No staying power. Goes hard quite quickly.

...INTRODUCTION I?m not much of a gum muncher, but I keep a packet or two in the car, mainly to curb hunger pangs and deal with dubious breath emergencies. When I was growing up, my choices were confined to Wrigley?s Peppermint, Spearmint and Juicy Fruit, with the occasional treat of supervised bubblegum (it stuck to everything). These days, supermarkets stock a bewildering display of gum, in all sorts of flavours and varieties. I was bored with the steady diet of Extra and Orbit mint-type gums, so, looking for something different, I found myself drawn to the colourful packaging of the ?New? Wrigley?s Extra Fusion range. The Fusion range claims that it is ?Bringing together flavours for a fresh taste experience?. This review is predominantly about the Strawberry Peach flavour. PACKAGING This sugar free gum comes in...

Enthusing about Digital Fusion

Advantages: Quick service, well packed parcel, nice prices
Disadvantages: I can't think of any

...I do a lot of online shopping for the same reasons as most other people - price, convenience, choice and so on. When my new laptop began to overheat due to excessive gaming (!!!) I discovered it was possible to buy laptop cooling pads (more on that coming soon...no, really, I promise:). Now, I was impatient to get back to the gaming, and had a browse on several sites for the said cooling products with the intention of popping out to a shop beginning with C that is located not far from me, but then I noticed the prices they were charging - two to three times as much as non-high street venues. It was at this point that I found Digital Fusion, after using a popular search engine which I won't discuss here ;). Digital Fusion is an online computer store, selling everything you would expect from such a place. The categories of goods you...
