HP 530 - Core Duo T2050 1.6 GHz - 15.4" TFT

Advantages: Cheap,Fast,Sleek
Disadvantages: Size,Ram,Lid Scratches Easily

...excellent range i would say. If the 530 had more connections on it such as memory card reader i think it would be perfect but you get what you pay for i suppose. After testing the DVD Writer i found that it failed a lot of times using Nero Express it also failed using the HP Backup Software,Worked perfect when tryiing to copy music disk.The Lid on my laptop has got 2 scratches after only 2 month of using.One more problem i have found with this laptop is that the power cable is in the wrong place always seems to be in the way. i would reccomend getting this laptop if you are on a tight budget and if you are not botherd about the size of the laptop(would reccomend Ram Upgrade)....

HP 530 - Core Duo T2050 1.6 GHz - 15.4" TFT

Advantages: Cost, Reliability, Battery Life, WIFI Range
Disadvantages: Display not best, memory - not enough

...So what's it got and is it worth it. My 530 come with Vista Home Basic 32 pre-installed with the option of the Business 32 version for a little extra. It's powered by an IntelCore Due T2050 processor at 1.6GHz with 2MB level 2 cache and 533MHz FSB. The memory let's it down at only 512Mb, which struggles to keep up woth the demand of Vista. The good news is that the memory can be upgraded to up to 2Gb, however we opted to trash Vista in favour of our ol favourite Windows XP Home. Storage is a reasonable 80Gb SATA Hard Disk Drive and a combi DVD/CD RW drive wth double layer capability allows for essential backups, and writing speeds that won't keep you waiting. The screen is 15.4 inches with WXGA Brightview technology. There is a wired network adaptor as well as a wireless connection via a Broadcom 802.11 b/g, allowing...

X-530

Advantages: Price/quality, look
Disadvantages: sensitive to interference

..., Most people aim at good quality sound in PC's. Often good sound card is not enough and better speakers must be bought. That means spending more money for good stuff, or less for cheaper brand. Not necessarily when considering Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers. First some esential tech data: Total pow RMS : 70 Watts Total peak pow: 140 watts Cable lenght: center:160cm front: 140cm/180cm rear: 450cm Installation is as simple as possible and described weel in manual. Very attractive design gives it professional look. Whole set is assembled with high quality components both inside and outside. Unfortunately there are too many cables and subwoofer looks like attatched to big spiderweb, however are quite thick and strong. Center, front, and subwoofer speakers cables are quite short; even for desktop use lenght is...

Roomba 530 - Home automation that WORKS!

Advantages: No hassle cleaning, keeps the place clean and tidy whilst you are at work. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Initial outlay, can be noisy.

...Roomba. Why would anyone consider buying this small flying saucer like vacuum cleaner rather than use a traditional cleaner? One simple reason, IT?S BRILLIANT!!! I have been spending £30 a week for an professional cleaning company to come and clean my apartment every week for the past six months, the main attraction of this being the cleanly vacuumed floors and the fact I don?t have to do any cleaning, however it is somewhat expensive. This is where the Roomba comes in. Roomba is a robot vacuum cleaner that does the entire chore for you, how brilliant is that! What?s in the box? -Roomba with charging base -Roomba virtual wall -Spare filter -Cleaning tool for brushes -Instruction booklets and guarantees. What is it? The 530 is the fifth generation Roomba since their introduction many years ago and now for the first time they are...

e530 - look and use

Advantages: small, light
Disadvantages: small front screen

...I was forced to buy a new phone after my old one had an 'accident' so... ****Buys a new phone*** I originally bought this phone, as I liked its features - they seemed to be up to date. I particularly liked the bluetooth feature, as my old phone didnt have this. The memory of the phone also seemed to be quite good. I chose orange network, as I have been told they have one of, if not the best range of signal in the area, and other areas of England and Wales. ***look and size*** The samsung e530 is small and compact with relatively large buttons, making it easy to type or dial These buttons are arranged into 2 groups (numbers and arrows etc). It is fairly sleek, with 2 small buttons on the sides. The tri-stripe design looks very modern, and the silver makes it looks slightly space age. The phone is available with a deep purple...

BUDGET BASIC

Advantages: High Quality High Value
Disadvantages: Poor Battery No Frills

...Hello all, I work at several large computer superstores and have access to them all on a daily basis. I Have not purchased these laptops but I instead work with them in order to bring you the highest quality consumer based reviews. I sometimes ask the opinions of my staff and also of customers to bring you up to speed. So without further interuption here is my review on the HP 530 Well this is power value and for just about £300 DESIGN BASIC BASIC BASIC is the words but the build quality is high and it looks like a rather expensive machine and it was very popular at recent months. Especially to thoose in university and thoose that need a basic cheap laptop. PERFORMANCE Its not slow but it wont win awards. In fact it was quite nippy dispite the poor and outdated Intel Celeron Chip and the meager RAM of 512mb. It...

THE HP PRINTER

Advantages: FAST IN PRINTING AND OF GOOD QUALITY.
Disadvantages: LARGE AND HEAVY.

...This is the type of printer that I will recommend for office use because of its quality and the rate of printing. This is a laser printer and the most of all is that it also prints colour. It has a marvelous colour production that makes the printed issue too original and bright. The HP printer product has been to me the leader in making good printers because I have used some of other printers and find the HP printer the most advanced both in technology, durability and innovations. Well I got In contact with this printer in my office and it has been serving very well in my office hold. So in the over all ratings, I will recommend this for office not only that but for professional use also. The HP printer not only is good on producing good and quality print, it also has sufficient features. It provides high impact printing...

530D. A joy to own.

Advantages: Power, luxury and ecomomy.
Disadvantages: Cost, especially when you start adding options.

...Having previously owned the fabulous BMW 3ltr engine in an E46 330D, i decided to upgrade to the 530D with a larger boot space. Best descision i have made for a long time. The car oozes luxury! Excellent ride, awesome power delivery through the automatic gearbox and a shape that just grows on you as time goes by. Economy on this vehicle depends on the position of your right foot. Expect 35-38 for normal driving, 37-41 on the motorway. Not bad for a large engine pushing out over 230bhp. The Automatic gearbox, with sport mode, makes seamless changes and adapts to your driving style. A joy to use. It may appear a little sparse inside, but has everything you need is too hand. All layed out in a neat and tidy fashion. The dash layout is totally "uncluttered". The seating is very comfortable, both front and rear. Go for the electrically...

Logitech X-530 5.1 Surround Sound - great set up for the price

Advantages: Great sound, easy to assemble
Disadvantages: Need to pay extra for external sound card (if you don't have 5.1 built in)

...on a desk or can be rotated to allow them to be hung on the wall. Fittings are included in the box to allow you to do this. They do not take up too much space and are relatively easy to set up. One downside to the system is that if you're looking to use them through most laptops, you will need an extra sound card. PC's tend to have extra connections for the 5.1 system, but I bought a Trust external sound card which provides excellent sound quality. This just plugs into one of the USB ports on your computer. I feel that the X-530, normally retailing for £40-£50, is really good value, and a great sounding surround sound system suitable for any types of music or films. It is put together in a compact package, and its stylish looks wouldn't look out of place in any room....
