Typical Toshiba

Advantages: Ease of use, memory capacity
Disadvantages: Quality, feel, value for money

...The Toshiba Satellite L500 is the same as most other toshiba laptops. It looks stylish and can do all the basic functions that you would want for a laptop. However, when you use it, you dont feel very comfortable because it feels very cheap. The keyboard is very flimsy and feels like it is about to break every time you type something and the mouse pad and buttons do not respond well. However, the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard is great as it makes it so easy to type numbers. You can buy this laptop with a range of processors and sizes of harddrive so you can choose the one which suits you best. The display is actually very good but the battery life could have been improved. On my model it will last for a maximum of 2.5 hours on its lowest power setting. Overall, this laptop is reasonable at most things but not...

Review of Toshiba Satellite L500

My second visit to a Group H10

Advantages: Good Location, only two years old
Disadvantages: Not many English in hotel

...Well I am sure many of you have read my previous op on the H10 Med Village I stayed in in Salou. This was my second experience of staying in another Group H10 Hotel. We visited La Nina in Costa Adeje just two weeks ago so everything about this hotel is fresh in mind. On arrival to the hotel I thought it was a bit odd. Stuck in the middle of the main street with shops practically attached to the hotel and underneath it on a lower floor. Going into the reception area you just couldn't help but be amazed though. This looked like a classy hotel. Marble everywhere, a large reception desk on the right hand side, a large seating area and a massive winding stair case going down to the lower floor. Going in to the reception/entrance to the hotel you are going straight in on floor four. There are a total of 10 floors in this hotel...

Stay in Style with H10

Advantages: Out of the way, lovely new hotel
Disadvantages: In Cap Salou

...I just HAD to write here on Ciao about this fantastic place I stayed at in the beginning of May this year. Have you ever heard of the Group H10 hotels? I had never heard of them myself. I certainly didn't think it was one of those common hotel chains like 'Sol'. We booked our holiday in a bit of a rush through an ad in the Sun Newspaper. It was all done over the phone and were given a good description of the choices of hotels which we could have stayed. Luckily I picked the med village. Only after this I looked into the place further (even though you should do that before you book shouldn't you?! like I say we were in a hurry before the offer sold out) I got the airtours broucher and the hotel itself looked very nice from the pictures but then they always look nice in the photos don't they? I searched the internet...

H10 Las Palmeras, Tenerife - A1 Property

Advantages: Located next to beach
Disadvantages: None that I could see

...This is a lovely hotel. One of many on this Island. I wanted to let you know what I thought about it. I am in the Travel Industry so can be quite critical. Well here goes - ***********LOCATION*********** The hotel is only 15 Km from Tenerife Sur Airport making the transfer quite short. This was great after a 4 hour flight !!! This hotel is on Playa de las Américas beach, right next to the sea and there is direct access to the ocean promenade. I loved the way it is surrounded by beautiful gardens. The beach is just through a gate at rear of the pool area and The Veronicas and Starcos clubbing areas are about 5-10 mins walk away, as are a good variety of restaurants. ***********ROOMS*********** The room we had was slightly larger than most basic hotel rooms and we also had a fridge in the cupboard free of charge. The room was...

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...

H10 -one word - AWESOME

Advantages: 10x optical zoom, large screen, Crisp Picture
Disadvantages: no zoom during video recording, small preview button, bulky

...A first glance at this camera makes you wonder - is this a digicam or an SLR ..?? Let me help you - this camera allows you to take SLR quality snaps without even knowin what an SLR camera is...!!! With an 8.1 megapixel carl zeiss lens, 10x optical zoom and a really large - 3.5 inch screen, this camera makes me question myself - what more do you want in a digicam..? Though it takes a little time to master, its manual mode allows you to shoot snaps to your own taste and liking. Though slightly on the heavier and bulkier side, it fits wonderfully in your hands and gives you the feel of a professional photographer. The only disadvantages that I could make out in the camera were that for one you cannot zoom in or out while taking a video and the preview button seemed a little too small. In addition i found that the LCD screen is not too...

H10 Salauris Palace, Salou - BRILL HOTEL !!!

Advantages: Located close to theme park
Disadvantages: Could be busy height of season

...We stayed in this hotel for a week and really enjoyed ourselves. I must admit that I work within the Travel Industry and would tend to be quite critical. But this hotel was great and met all our needs. *********LOCATION************* Best to start here. The transfer to the hotel was great. It is only 10 Km from Reus Airport, so it was ideal with a small child. Anybody with kids will know what I mean as the constant "Are we there yet ?" can really grate on your nerves. So we were no sooner on the coach than we were off again. Another plus was the fact that it is just 300 metres away from the PortAventura amusement park, and next to the beach and several golf courses (for any golf enthusiasts like my husband). ************ROOMS************ The H10 Salauris Palace is a lovely modern hotel and the room we had was exactly the same. It...

Get shot at by a madman at the H10 Adeje Palace

Advantages: Peaceful Location
Disadvantages: Lack of basic shops

...shot. So beware if you go and he is there sit near the back!!! If that kind of thing is not your scene and you dont have children you can sit upstairs at the piano bar and even listen to someone playiong the saxaphone My 10 year old was of an age when he could join in with,waterpolo,football, archery etc he loved it and wants to go back. FOOD This was the usual buffet service. There was a wide choice and on the whole the food was very good, although it does get a bit repetitive. Also with the children the were desperate to finish and join in the activities, mini club etc. Thus it was a case of eat and get out. To be honest if I didnt have chikldren with me I would probaly go self catering and eat out , just becasue that is part of the evening. The pool bar during the day sold the usual hot dogs , toasties etc or you could opt...
