Labtec

Advantages: easy to use, cheap
Disadvantages: no picture rotation

...the laptop can cause wearing of paint. The webcam, firstly requires 'labtec' programming to be installed. The disc accompanies the webcam in the box is very easy to install. Instructions appeared on screen, and the process roughly 5 minutes to complete. Once the programme is installed, the camera is ready to use, and attaches to the laptop via a USB port. The webcam can be used to take pictures, videos, internet messaging, or voice messaging. To capture pictures and videos, the small webcam icon in the task bar needs to be left clicked once. A small window of options will open. Quick capture then needs to be clicked on. This will open arectangular window in the middle of the screen. The top section of the window will show the view of the camera. The bottom section enables you to access the options. There are two large buttons on the bottom...

Lovely Labtec

Advantages: Nice to use, pretty, useful features
Disadvantages: None

...I was given a Labtec Ultra-Flat Keyboard for Christmas by my other half (he knows me well enough to know I'd be thrilled with this). He knew that I'd been wanting a new keyboard for a while, and specifically wanted one that was more like a "laptop keyboard", i.e. flat and with 'clicky' keys, and this is exactly what I got with this keyboard. Made by Labtec (who cite themselves as "a leading provider of value-priced peripherals and accessories for computing"), the Ultra-Flat keyboard does exactly what it say on the tin. It is less than a centimetre in depth, and also only around 38cm across, so it is ideal for someone with limited desk space. The other advantage of it being flat (and what I would call slate-grey in colour, with black keys) is that it looks great. It goes very well with a flat screen monitor, especially a similarly...

Review of Labtec Ultra-Flat Keyboard keyboard

Labtec keyboard

Advantages: Cheap and effective.
Disadvantages: Shows dust

...I have been using this keyboard for about a year now, and it has performed as any keyboard would be expected to; It has a full set of working keys. Not particularly demanding requirements, but it's the price that really sets this keyboard apart from the rest. Presentation: The labtec standard keyboard comes in black and is straight and very geometric in design. It offers no curves on which to rest your hands for comfort when typing. However, for me, this has not been an issue. The figures on the keys are printed in white and stand out easily against the black base coat. In the top right corner of the keyboard are the the num, caps and scroll lock lights, which are lit up green when the according buttons are active and stand out brightly against the dark surrounding. In addition, there is a small Labtec logo above the lights which...

The Labtec Pulse 485 Speaker System

Advantages: Very good value for money
Disadvantages: None

...of £50. Style - I needed something modern looking, quite small and compact and preferably with wall mountable speakers. At this point nothing else was particularly vital And so I started to browse around on the Internet. I looked at most of the main electrical superstore websites, Curry's, Dixons, Maplins etc but in the end I actually found what I wanted to be cheapest in Argos. The product that I had decided upon was a Labtec Pulse 485 system, Argos were selling these for just £29.99 and so off I went. My first impression when I got my new purchase home was how incredibly light it felt. The big box which I later learned to be called a subwoofer was the perfect size and the two speakers were so slim-lime it was incredible. Appearance wise the subwoofer is rectangular in shape and black in colour with a fancy silver oval...

Labtec mini optical mouse. Excellent mouse that glows in the Dark

Advantages: Good build quality, Accurate and responsive, coloured lights look good
Disadvantages: None

...This is a review of the Labtec mini optical glow mouse. Introduction Most of my online work is done on my laptop computer, but I cannot get along with the built in touch-pad and decided to use a mouse instead, after trying the normal sized mouse borrowed from my desk-top PC, I found that it was too big for the available space that I had, so I bought a mini mouse which was ideal. After using and breaking several unbranded mini mice bought cheaply from my local computer supplies shop I decided to see what was available on line, and after seeing the Labtec mini optical glow mouse, and read some positive reviews on it, I ordered one. What is it? The Labtec mini optical glow mouse is a small wired optical mouse with a USB connector, it is designed for use with laptops and notebook PC’s. The cable The cable...

Labtec webcam

Advantages: look, works (lol)
Disadvantages: size of instilliation download. (see review)

...)….. then you can download the instillation of Labtec's website but it is 30Mb!!!! -*-*- Conclusion -*-*- If you want a web cam that is a fairly good one then I suggest you get a more cheaper one than this. This one is good but you can get better cheaper so I would recommend you get another one. Thanks for reading Ste231191...

Review of Labtec WebCam Pro

Labtec Digital Webcam

Advantages: Low price tag, good value, great for video chat.
Disadvantages: Not the best quality, lack of features.

...This Labtec Webacam is a cheap, plug and play digital webcamera that is perfect for someone looking at a basic camera for instant messaging or creating basic home movies from their computer. I personally use it along with my dektop mic for video conversations on MSN Messenger but it can support various other instant messengers aswell. The best points about this camera is its low price and ease of use, just plug it in via a spare USB port and install the bundled software to get instant accss to the cameras features. The software allows you to make home movies and also edit settings for the camera such as brightness and contrast. The downside of the camera is the quality of picture. It can occasionly appear slightly fuzzy and out of focus however, tweaking with the controls slightly should make a small difference. It also has a lack...

Labtec Webcam Pro - Good for low budget

Advantages: Cheap, clear images (sometimes)
Disadvantages: Bad for picking up light and vice versa

...This a great little webcam for those who don't want to splash out a lot of money on the more expensive range which can be found on the market. This particular webcam comes bundled with its own software, however I do recommend that if you purchase the camera you upgrade the software by downloading it from the labtec website. This is a nice webcam which is foolproof and easy to install. Within a matter of seconds I had this hooked up to one of my USB ports and XP automatically installed the relevant drivers (however I did install the software beforehand). It works fine with all my applications, in particular windows live messenger where I use it a lot to hold video conversations with friends and family via the use of its built-in microphone which picks up rather well suprisingly. Another good little feature is the photo button...

Labtec Pulse 285 PC multimedia speaker system

Advantages: 2 Speakers, 1 Subwoofer . Compact . Very Good Value .
Disadvantages: You may prefer a more powerful subwoofer for more bass .

...I used to work in a warehouse that stocked these and all the other brands/models. I got bored one day and tried most of them out with my iPod to see which speakers were the best! I ended up with this Labtec Pulse 285 and here is why! I compared: Labtec Pulse 285 Philips SPA1300 2.1 Speakers. Philips SPA2600 5.1 PC Speakers. + more... (sorry i can't remember the others!) Don't be fooled by the 'seemingly' low 6 Watt figure. On paper 6 Watts may seem a bit weak next to the competitors but when tested among 5 other setups these speakers are very loud and even still very clear with volume at 100%. Don't get me wrong you can't start up your own nightclub with these but you get a lot more than you need for PC speakers! In reality the only difference you notice between the price ranges was the amount of bass being produced from...
