Hewlett Perfect (HP) :-)

Advantages: Price, Speed, Features
Disadvantages: Lack of manuals

...We have been looking for a good quality laptop at the right price, so when we saw the HP G60 for £379 we went for it. The laptop is has a good specification. It has 3GB of RAM which is more than enough to run Windows Vista, a 250 GB hard drive, and 2 GHz AMD Turion dual core processor which means it is more that quick and powerful enough to hand most things. The screen is 15.6 inches (a fraction larger than the standard 15.4 on most laptops) and has a glossy finish, there is little glare and ample brightness and contract in it. This slightly larger screen has enable the laptop to be fitted with what is almost a full sized keyboard, complete a numeric keypad, the only exception being the cursor and function keys which are half height, in use the keyboard has a good solid feel to it. The track pad is average size but has a very glossy...

Disadvantages: Slightly outdated for Performance.

Review of HP Pavillion G6061EA

Very Decent laptop for your daily needs.

Advantages: "HP" brand, 3GB RAM, geforce graphics card, very classy outlook.
Disadvantages: Very poor processor, not suitable for extensive pc users.

..., which is really impressive and a graphics card geforce 7000. Now both ram and graphics card will allow you to enjoy decent multimedia fun with this laptop. That means, you can watch DVDs and movies in wide screen format which means no black bars will appear in bottom and up of the screen and that's sounds fair enough to me. It's also have 15.6" wide screen, which is just perfect for work and multimedia fun. Now, there is one BIG truth you need to know that, HP already discontinued to produce almost lots of G60 series laptops. Though, every high street shops usually provides one year basic warranty still I would not go for this laptop considering my needs. But, you certainly will have your warranty with this product from the seller company. So, in any problem, you are covered by them. The 15.6" wide screen is really spacious and one...

Review of HP Pavilion G60

One good laptop!

Advantages: Dual-Core Processor, Webcam, Good memory, NVIDIA Dedicated graphics, DVD+R Lightscribe Drive
Disadvantages: Vista ends up pretty slow, Battery life is satisfactory, Plastic is very dust prone, 120GB HDD

...The HP G60. One good laptop! An ease to use and a brilliant display. It comes preloaded with Microsoft Windows Vista, which is OK. On the out-of-box experience, Vista is very quick and fast, but as the laptop starts filling up, obviously, it becomes slower. But the specifications are pretty impressive. With 2GB of RAM, and a AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core processor rated at 3.99 GHz, and a 120GB hard drive (May diifer depending on type), it really does make it a speedy computer. Very crisp, widescreen display, with a dedicated 256MB NVIDIA 8200 graphics card, with shared memory of up to 882MB, it is very detailed and should and could easily play computer games and photo editing. Other general features include: A built-in webcam and microphone, Wi-Fi, and Lightscribe disc labeling, using the DVD+R Rewriter. It's design is sleek and sassy...

HP Wireless G 2101nw - an embarrassing waste of my time

Advantages: None. It does not work for any length of time.
Disadvantages: Setup is not quick. Product gives up the ghost and does not reconnect. Telephone support unhelpful

...hp 2101 nw I bought one of these for a friend/customer of mine, to make his life easier printing from his new wireless laptop. He has a standard wireless router that works just fine. He has an HP printer that has worked just fine for ages via USB cable with his desktop PC, but with the addition of his new laptop to his house, a wireless solution that could be shared by the desktop PC and the new laptop was an obvious choice. I even phoned HP to check that the HP printer and the HP wireless print server would work together with Windows XP Pro. They said it would be fine. Unfortunately this is not true and so far this "solution" has cost me much support time because the wretched device does not work properly. The supposedly attached printer consistently disappears and will not reconnect. Only a full re-instal will repair it...

Apple iphone 3G - WOW...!!!

Advantages: constant updates, very sleek,
Disadvantages: worried about scratching it

...around your phone without having to scroll through tons of menu's. It's all just one click away. Apart from the usual icons you would expect to have on most phones i.e. text, contacts...there is an icon called App store...pure genius who ever came up with this idea, this lets you download ANY icon about pretty much ANYTHING. I would say it also probably the main feature of the phone too. It doesn't matter if your in the stocks and shares market, love eating out at restaurants, you need a to do list for reminders, you like to play a few games, check the weather, want the currency rates for your next holiday, can't find the public toilets, are lost in the middle of know where...there will be an App to help you out. The sound quality on the phone is very good, obviously you have headphone too as it is an ipod aswell. The iphone 3G is a huge...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone 3G

Advantages: Looks, interface, quality, fun
Disadvantages: Camera could be better

...The iPhone 3G is (almost) all the phone you'll ever need. Don't listen to the iPhone knockers, it's a fantastic piece of kit, it's so slick and easy to use that it even makes me use it to call people more than I ever normally would (I am a man after all so phone calls are short and not always sweet!). The build quality is excellent, I've had mine for a few months now and there isn't a scratch on any surface, it (almost) never crashes (occasionally Safari crashes after a heavy browsing session, and some 3rd party apps crash from time to time). The interface is REALLY slick. All of the built -in applications and most of the 3rd party ones you can download from the App Store (more later) integrate with each other very well. For example, if you have a friend's postal address in their Contact, start typing their name in the GPS...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

A SAUCY HP OR A BIT OF A DIP?

Advantages: Fast, cheap, reasonable processing
Disadvantages: Heavy and issues on shutdown

...As technology advances and more and more seems to be packed into smaller and smaller bits of kit laptop choice has become either very complicated or rather academic, depending on your point of view. Given that I tend to use a laptop to word process, access emails and surf (but not data heavy sites) the choice of laptop tends to the academic in terms of functionality - almost every laptop available on the market will physically do what I want it to and has the necessary spec. Choice therefore comes down to more "fluffy" things such as the look of the laptop, the feel of the keys and, to a certain degree, perception about value. hp as a brand are reasonably respected. They're not fancy or hi tech like Sony but they're not quite bargain bucket either. It seemed like a reasonable choice. I decided, fairly early on in my...

Hotpoint Aquarius Dishwasher FDW60

Advantages: Quiet
Disadvantages: only top drawer half load wash

...This is the first dishwasher that I have owned and so as a novice to the functionality of a dishwasher I find this one easy to use and does the job. It has a half load option that just washes the top drawer (usually cups and glasses), although after using it for a few weeks now I would rather a half load just washed the bottom drawer as I tend to run out of plates and pans before cups, but that's something to remember for the next machine I buy (i originally wanted the FDW80 that has the option of top or bottom drawer wash but everwhere had sold out and i was constantly being mucked about by sainsburys appliances, eventually leading me to go to currys to get the FDW60). As i'm still learning on how best to place items there have been a few items (large serving/mixing spoons and baking dishes that are ceramic not pyrex) that have...
