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.

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...

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...

HC 45 Does it help?

Advantages: saves going to the docs
Disadvantages: only suitable for mild irritations

...over the counter. I decided to try them first. I used HC 45 and it seemed to work so this is what I am going to review. HC 45 contains the active ingredient hydrocortisone which is used to reduce inflammation. Inflammation happens due to irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen, resulting in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful. When hydrocortisone is applied to the skin it apparently works by acting inside the skin cells to decrease the inflamation reducing the itchiness etc. This is why it should not be used long term as it can cause the skin to thin. HC 45 can also be used on insect bites, but in any case it recommends that it is not used for more than seven consecutive days. Now...

E45 - Great for the Skin

Advantages: Moisturises, Nourishes, Smoothens, Softens, Good value for money
Disadvantages: If you like products with some sort of scent, this is not one of them

...I started using E45 when a friend of mine had it when we were still in school and prone to all sorts of pimples during our teens:) I have since continued using it (albeit on and off) as I felt the product really worked and is very effective on dry skin. E45 Dermatological cream comes in various sized all-white jars with the words E45 in white within a big blue caption and you cannot miss it on the shelves with other skin care products. You can get E45 in most Boots and Superdrug stores and pharmacies or supermarkets; It retails from about £2.50 for the smaller sized jar to £6 for the larger 500ml jars, you can get some of those with pumps too for easy application. The product itself is a white cream with a smooth texture, it has no fragrance and is unperfumed and hypo-allergenic. E45 contains 'Water, Petrolatum, Isopropyl Palmitate...

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

e45 - the dry skin hero!

Advantages: effective cream.
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

...I, like many others suffer from eczema and dry skin is often a problem. However, I think that e45 dermatological cream helps reduce the problem. E45 is non-greasy and unscented and helps to treat dry, flaking and chapped skin. It also helps sunburn too. Is there anything it can't do? Well it can't get rid of eczema completely but it dramatically decrease the problem. The product is also good as as it doesn't sting or cause any irritation. Just make sure to rub it in completely so there's none left wherever you've applied it and you'll have your skin smoother than a baby's bottom in no time! :) This one little tub does a big job. It's true what they say good things come in small packages....

Review of E45 Dermatological Cream (Dry Skin)

E45 for me...

Advantages: Really is a wonder product
Disadvantages: None

...E45 is another wonder product as are many other products manufactured by Boots. Boots developed E45 many years ago, it was approximately the 1950?s when it was developed and it is still their own product to this day and is manufactured on a daily basis so it is still doing very well. Crookes Healthcare is a division owned by Boots Healthcare International and they manufacture E45 under this division, along with other massive brands such as Nurofen, Clearasil and Optrex. E45 comes in a variety of products, ranging from lotions, hand creams, body washes and the actual E45 cream itself. All of the products are used for the same purpose, to soothe, soften and relieve dry and sensitive skin conditions. E45 is available in a variety of sizes ranging from a 50g tube, a 125g screw top tub or a 500g pump action tub. The 500g tubs are...

Bosch SGI45E16GB, a lifesaving device

Advantages: washes without fail, low maintenance, huge capacity, adjustable shelves, multi-programmes
Disadvantages: expensive and noisy

...When I moved into my first house and had to finally start doing all of my own washing, cooking and cleaning the first thing that gave way was my desire to leave my hands soaking in water for 30 minutes every day while I washed up dishes and pots, something I have to admit is something of a compulsion. I cannot leave even one glass in the washing up bowl, it has to be empty otherwise I cannot settle or relax. As a way of keeping me away from the kitchen sink my husband returned from ordering a washing machine with a delivery docket for the Bosch SGI45E16GB and a very smug grin on his face. While I was happy at the thought I was not impressed in the slightest that he had paid a total of £350 for an appliance that would take up lots of room in the kitchen and increase our electricity usage at a time when we had just moved into our first...
