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...

Sat Nav finally Maturing

Advantages: Start up speed, signal strength, cost, onboard memory, USB charging
Disadvantages: Fiddly windscreen clamp

...The Navman 530 is the successor to the ICN 520 Sat Nav that I own. Buying this was a present for my parents that I landed up keeping myself and buying another for them. Originally I was looking for a simple yet quality packed Sat Nav. As per its predecessor, the 530 is a simple Sat Nav to use and not one of the many PDA's with a Sat Nav function. Navman have been making Marine navigation for a long time and have used the advances they made for sea navigation to make this a great in car solution. Mapping is provided by Tele Atlas and are regularly kept up to date with a website where an anomaly can be report by users and corrected for future releases. The satellite pick up is very fast, from a cold start where the device is switched on in a different location to where it was switched off taking under 1 min compared to up to 5 mins...

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...

Are we there yet? Navman iCN520

Advantages: Lovely maps and Intuitive
Disadvantages: 4-digit Postcodes and POI alerts are just not good enough

...The iCN 520 is a fairly intuitive SatNav and for the feint of heart there is a built-in tutorial covering all the salient points of the unit accessed from the Home menu. This allows you to get on working with it right out of the box and glance at the tutorial only if you get stuck avoiding the need to refer to the helpful and extensive user guide. The rechargeable battery is only needed when you walk from your house to the car and back as it is supplied with both a home charger and cigar-lighter car charger. Also, the iCN 520 is supplied with a leather slip over cover with a reinforced side for added protection to the screen side of your SatNav while it languishes in your pocket when you transfer between your car and home. The iCN 520 is also supplied with a USB cable and Software CD to program and manage both maps and Points...

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...

THE NAVMAN ICN 650

Advantages: VERY ACCURATE VERY EASY TO USE
Disadvantages: A LITTLE EXPENSIVE NO OTHER Disadvantages

...INTRODUCTION As a freelance driver i can be just about anywhere from driving local or driving long distance so i chose the option to buy my self a sat nav. i didnt brealise just how many diffrent types oand models they was out and aftew a long trudge round many shops and a few pubs.. to quench my thurst i decided on the navman 650 and this is my review This review covers the navman iCN 650 which is the newer model of navman iCN 630 V2. First it incorporates the new 2004 V3 software. Includes a number of new features like Topographical maps as one. The iCN 650 also has another bonus in that it has complete Western European maps pre-loaded. Unlike the iCN635 which comes with a 128mb SD card, there is an SD card slot available on the iCN 650 but it's filled with a 'bung'. The reason for this is because the iCN 650...

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....

Samsung E530.....WHAT A PHONE!!

Advantages: Slim, Nice Shape, Great Range Of Features.
Disadvantages: Not Supplied With A USB Cable.

...as it is slightly curved. All of the E530s come with a different colour stripe down the front which makes this phone unique compared to other flip-phones. THE CAMERA: You get a great camera built in to this phone. It is 2mega pixels and has zoom, brightness control and flash. When you have taken a picture there are loads of things you can do with it. One of the things you can do is add a frame to it. After that you can send the photo to someone via, mms, e-mail or Bluetooth. CALLER ID: This is a brilliant feature, one of my favorites. What you do is take a photo of the person and then save the photo to the name in the phonebook. Then when that person rings you their face appears on the front of the phone so you know who is calling. BLUETOOTH: Bluetooth is the latest technology and I think it is great. If your mate has a great...
