Jabra GN5035 multimedia USB headphones

Advantages: Sound quality, long cable, remote control
Disadvantages: Remote too far down the cable

...For anyone who makes a lot of calls Skype is a wonderful things assuming the person they are calling is also on Skype. Even calls to people with normal telephones can be done cheaply and easily, especially when used in conjunction with Skype's ability to embed links in web pages within your browser allowing you to call a number on a web site just by clicking on it. Of course, such activities do require some sort of speaker and microphone arrangement on your PC and in most cases, it's far easier to make use of one of the huge range of headphone and microphone combinations out there. Jabra have a range of products in this area but here I'm looking at their GN5035 model which is well priced at around £25 or less and boasts a noise cancelling microphone, 40mm speaker units for extended bass and a remote control on its USB cable...

Suzuki Gn125

Advantages: fuel economy, price
Disadvantages: corrosion, depreciation, acceleration, top speed

...The original intention was to by a Suzuki Van Van. However, I took my CBT on a GN125 and decided that it wouldn't be a bad first bike to learn on. It's also significantly cheaper than a Van Van and top speed is higher. Bought the bike new back in April 2006 for £1400. The bike was a grey import - Suzuki no longer officially supply this bike to the UK market. As a result the speedometer is in km/h which is a little annoying. That's the only difference that I am aware of from a standard UK bike. I used the bike daily until recently to ride too and from the station. The bike rides quite well bearing in mind its size. Acceleration is obviously poor compared to a bigger bike but not as bad as you might think. It could certainly outrun the average car from standstill. It really starts to struggle once you get up to 50mph...

Presario 2100

Advantages: Modest price if you shop carefully
Disadvantages: A little heavy

...The Presario 2100 is a useful laptop. The keyboard is easy to use, although it could, perhaps, do with being a little bit bigger and perhaps it is a bit too springy for my liking. Although I am told that I still type as if I am using my old Imperial Model T Good Companion portable typewriter. And perhaps there is some truth in this! The Presario is easy to operate. Although I feel that it would be better to have four, rather than two USB ports on the machine. Operating a printer, using a USB modem (for ADSL) downloading from a camera and using a USB mouse as I do means constant juggling around of USB devices. Or using extra USB ports. The Presario is not very light so is a little less portable than it might be and does tend to drag on the shoulder if carried for any length of time. There are a wide variety of Presario...

GN Netcom Headset: Worth the money?

Advantages: Great look and feel to the headset, remarkable sound quality
Disadvantages: Rather pricey and poor battery life

...THis GN Netcom headset, is a beautiful piece of machinery. It has a stuning design and prefectly easy to use. I simply opened the box andhardlyhad to use the instruction manual. I connceted it up and i was off! the sound quality is phenomenal, far better than any headsets that phone companies supply you with... i could my the person crystal clear, and i felt that he was right there with me. the only downside, is that the battery life, i felt was rather lacking. Not long after i had bought the product, i felt i had to keep on charging it every 10 or so hours, which i felt was rather ridiculous. however, i put up with it becuase i liked the design and how easy it was to use. Furthermore, the dual connection the comes with this headset is remarkable and the technology that goes into this headset is so robust! One major downside to...

GN'R Lies - Guns N' Roses, reserved seat amongst the rock Gods

Advantages: Excellent original songs, includes 'Patience'
Disadvantages: More or less a stop-gap from the record company

...GN'R Lies was the short LP released by Geffen records after the debut 'Appetite For Destruction', used as a stop gap between records. It features several live covers such as Aerosmith's 'Mama Kin', delivered in that high-pitched snarl of Axl Rose. Despite the lack of original material, there are several highlights, which all happen to be new songs - 'Patience', 'Used To Love Her' and 'One In A Million'. It is at this point Guns N' Roses were reserved a places in the pantheon of rock gods, as these songs are by far the highlight of an otherwise classic-rock cover album. 'Patience' is a heart-wrenching ballad, co-written by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin. It is of an acoustic arrangment, which gives Guns N' Roses a softer dimension that had never really been explored before. 'Used To Love Her' is perhaps the only Guns N' Roses song to...

Hp Pavillion tx2100 - a good all rounder.

Advantages: Great looks, large hard drive and impressive speakers
Disadvantages: Runs very hot, low build quality in places.

... Hp Pavillion tx2100 Introduction Why did I buy this laptop? I?m heavily in to photography and wanted a laptop that looked good, could store a huge number of pictures and was of a small, convenient size. With this in mind, I bought the Tx2100, dubbed an ?entertainment pc? by Hewlett Packard. In the box came the laptop, charger, an extra high capacity battery, a complimentary sleeve and remote control, along with a variety of instruction manuals, warranty information and the usual amount of unnecessary packaging. Specs This laptop was of quite a high spec when I purchased it around 9 months ago, those specs (copied from HP?s website) being: Processor type tx2150ee: AMD Turion? 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 ? , Level 2 cache 512 KB + 512 KB, Up to 1600 MHz system bus running at AC/DC mode 35 Watt tx2170ee: AMD...

Packard Bell EasyNote GN45-032 Skype edition

Advantages: Great little laptop with lots of useful features
Disadvantages: The disk drive stopped working, but still in warenty

...The laptop that I am reviewing is very slightly different to the one featured, as it is the packard bell easynote GN45-032, although the only real difference is that my laptop has a 160GB memory compared to the GN45-P-050 which has 80GB, mine did not come with vista loaded, but have since loaded it and my laptop is a skype edition which basically means that it has a button next to the camera which takes you straight to skype, which is a programme which allows the user to make free video internet phone calls to anyone anywhere in the world.

HP LaserJet 2100

Advantages: Reliable, Fast
Disadvantages: Discontinued now

...Although now discontinued, this review may be helpful to anyone looking to pick up a quality HP laser printer on Ebay or similar. The HP LaserJet 2100 printer will satisfy anyone who is looking for the very highest in print quality and has an eye for good value ! True 1200 x 1200 dpi provides high quality laser output, at 10 pages per minute, not super fast, but more than enough for what I need. Installation was an absolute doddle, although not USB Plug & Play, being an older printer, Windows XP knows exactly what to do with all necessary drivers included ! It's connected to my network with a mini print server (not reviewed here) on the parallel port via ethernet cable, although you can, of course connect direct to th eparallel port on your PC. Load the paper tray with your paper (upto 300 sheets, a whole ream fits in no...
