Maxdata Maximumfantastica

Advantages: Great repair service, Inclusive guarantee, Relatively cheap
Disadvantages: Dodgy port covers

...I have owned a maxdata laptop since August 2000 and in that time I have found it pretty good actually. For the purposes of comaprison I own a maxdata 650T, a P3 700MHz with DVD Drive 128Mb Ram with an 11Gb HDD. In addition I am sharing a house with 4 other guys all who own laptops so I feel that this is a fair comparison of its abilities How easy is it to get started? Very! I got that baby ticking away within 30 minutes. The Operating system needed to be installed which was done quickly via good company instructions and a fast processor. Being a laptop there wasn't a great deal to do after that except install all device drivers and get plugging away! Speed From my experience runs like a dream. Boots up fast shuts down fast and processes just generally very quickly. it should be noted that it appears to slow down more than...

Pirelli P6000

Advantages: Will keep you on road
Disadvantages: Pricey

...There are a few reviews already on this tyre but I will give my view and add some information for those who don't really know much about tyres, I'm not an expert so please correct me if I am wrong with any of the details. Pirelli are one of the top brand names when it comes to tyres, they can be slightly more expensive than some other top brands and are reasons other than garages trying to make a buck or two on them. Pirelli tyres are a well balanced tyre for all occasions and most driving styles. Pirelli are preferred tyres for manufacturers such as BMW, Ford and Vauxhall and some others. Infact when I bought my Vauxhall Vectra it had 4 Pirelli P6000 and still has. Previous to buying this car I had always used budget tyres and even when to car dismantlers and bought good tyres for £6 - £8 depending on quality of tread. I've used...

Review of Pirelli P6000

Road Angel Navigator 6000 with Blackspot

Advantages: Speed camera warnings, accident blackspot warning, gets you there
Disadvantages: annoying audible in average speed camera area

...I bought a road angel navigator 6000 a little over a year ago now, i got it second hand for £50 as it had no sd card that contain the maps included, i was quite happy as my friend had one of these with the sd card so i figured i could just make a copy of his card, insert it and away i go. This is what i did and hey presto off we go no problem at all. To be honest i don't actually find the 6000 to bad although i notice a few people have come up with some horror stories regards the software not giving them the correct information. Its a simple basic machine that does what it says it does. I have used it on several occassions when travelling round glasgow, edinburgh and birmingham and find it to be of satisfactory use. Ok so there are a few bad points to it but you almost come to expect this with everything in this day and age...

Athlon X2 6000+

Advantages: Integrated Memory Controller
Disadvantages: TDP, Price, Relative performance

...AMD has been on the decline after Intel introduced its core 2 Duo line of processors. It has been late on 65 nm process and they are paying for that. They had the market under total control just one year ago, but now they have lost even their loyal customers. AMD has to produce something very powerful and should be done quickly or they will even lose the small share that they has got. Coming to the processor, Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is a midrange processor to compete Intel in the midrange segment. It is powerful but not enough to beat Intel's counter parts. I got this processor in the PC which my uncle gifted to me. So, I have got it free. If I were given a choice before it was gifted to me, I certainly would have asked for an Intel processor in the same price range. Looking at the processor, we note that it's speed is 3 GHz. It has...

Review of AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ / 3 GHz processor

Inspiron 6000

Advantages: Great graphics, RAM
Disadvantages: Fairly low battery life

...The dell inspiron 6000 laptop is one great laptop; this is based on the fact that it has been out for 2 years and is still up with this year's competition even with the latest processors and memory. Though it has not actually got any of this stuff it is still a great laptop, its specifications are, a 1.86Ghz Intel Centrino processor, 768 MB of RAM and an 80 gig hard drive is standard, though it can be higher or lower. It can come with all versions of XP, including Professional, Media Centre, and Home. All this you could get two years ago for around £700, but now because of the recent advances in technology I would say that you could get it now for anything from £200-400, this is such a wide range because the specifications vary so much, lower specs for £200, higher for around £400. The graphics card was immense for its time, but...

Review of Dell Inspiron 6000 (N04606)

Compaq Presario V6000

Advantages: Incredibly fast and capable of managing demanding apllications.
Disadvantages: Surface smudgy - very hard to keep clean,

...A perfect blend of professional computing and easy to use hardware. The Presario V6000 utilises most of the hardware found in professional corporations as a basis for its personal or family orientated laptop computer. Built purposely for Windows Vista Operating System, the V6000 uses this feature to its full advantage working flawlessly with all the Vista Versions.

Review of HP Compaq Presario V6000TX

DX6000

Advantages: None as far as I can see.
Disadvantages: Refer to review

...also accept A3 envelopes with no trouble and will even go up to 9.5". The a4 envelopes can also be printed in PORTRAIT mode. This machine has been very costly to me, the DX6000 and the support by Epson needs a lot to be desired, in fact there has been none. Based on my experience I would not reccomend this machine to others....

Review of Epson Stylus DX 6000

The Epson "Stylish" DX6000

Advantages: Envelope printing, hidden ports, great design
Disadvantages: Disappointing LCD display

...EPSON STYLUS DX6000 The Epson stylus DX6000 printer is a nice size and really compact for what it offers. Its silver/ grey colour gives the printer an extremely professional and modern look. In fact, it was its striking appearance that immediately drew me to it when shopping one afternoon in PC world with no real intention to purchase a printer that day. I love gadgets and this printer is certainly accommodating of my needs. I really like the numerous ports and slots it has for expandable memory and external flash drives. Everything from your standard SD, MS, xD and even CF cards can be plugged into this machine for easy access to your pics. It also includes the common PictBridge port which I know is a favourite for a lot of people. The port are cleverly concealed with a cover over them. This has the added benefit of them not...

Review of Epson Stylus DX 6000

A detailed account of my use with "Pirelli 6000"

Advantages: Solid performance on less-than-perfect (and also wet) roads.
Disadvantages: They look pretty generic.

...I bought a set for my BMW about 1000 kilometers ago. They are a real pleasure to drive on all terrains. I wanted street/racing tires, but this is why I bought Pirelli 6000 instead: HANDLING/PERFORMANCE: Great response/feel and grip. * Excellent all-round tire. Can handle delapitated roads extremely well. The roads where I live are in poor condition... * Really hugs the corners at high speed. You definately "feel" the road, as they're quite soft and springy. Harder tires cause you to sometimes skid/lose control more easily. So these tires are GREAT for new drivers too! * Amazing hold in rain, due to a NEW-IMPROVED tire pattern. * Keeps totally straight and feels perfect on long highways. * Excellent for driving on normal ~ crappy roads. Not ideal for racing as they're a little bouncy, but great for driving...
