'MAXIM'um Pleasure or 'MAXIM'um Pain??

Advantages: Inexpensive, Can Use As A PC Monitor
Disadvantages: Poor Sound Quality, Poor Viewing Angles

...I have recently purchased this product, around two weeks or so from Currys so decided to write a review and give my honest opinion on the subject. Previously I had a 42inch rear-projection TV but decided to get rid as it was too big for my bedroom. My intentions were to purchase a smaller television and hopefully have enough room for a reasonably sized desk to study at home. My plans didn?t go as expected and I found myself drinking the money away which I received for the rear-projection ? Typical Student, I love to PARTAY!! Lol. So left with £125.00 in my back pocket I looked almost everywhere, online, supermarkets like Asda etc until I stumbled across what I thought was a bargain in Currys - A 15? Maxim 11 LCD television. So here?s the review and a thanks in advance to those reading. What Is LCD?? Well for those who don...

Dell Studio 15

Advantages: Adequate features, upgrade options available
Disadvantages: Bluetooth Headset not Available

...Let again my target of review is popular 15.4" series laptop and I am trying to write review on Dell laptop third time. Generally Dell deals with its customer online and they sell laptop online but also considering retail chain so that they can easily reach to every general people also.

Here again popular chipset for Windows Vista they have provided is Intel® 965GM Chipset. T250Gb or 320 GB. We also have an option to upgrade it to higher speed 7200RPM version his set is good enough for aero experience of Windows Vista.

Maxim - a rainforest in every issue !

Advantages: Interesting articles / Great Photos
Disadvantages: Too many adverts !!

...It's been a whilst since anyone has reviewed the popular men's publication, "Maxim", so I thought I'd give an up-to-date look at what is on offer. 1. CONTENT I am actually a long time subscriber to Maxim, and always know as soon as it has arrived by the loud "THUD" on the doormat. The latest issue (Mar 2004) has a staggering 192 Pages. This sounds impressive, but lets take a look at what you actually get... Full page advertisements - 59 pages (31 %) Full size photo's - 50 pages (26 %) Fasion pages - 25 pages (13 %) Articles - 23 pages (12 %) Humor - 16 pages (8 %) Interviews - 15 pages (8 %) Reviews - 15 pages (8 %) Health - 8 pages (4 %) Magazine Info - 7 pages (4 %) Food & Drink - 4 pages (2 %) Sport - 4 pages (2 %) Travel - 3 pages (2 %) Jokes / Letters - 3 pages (2 %) Gadgets - 2 pages (1 %) Competitions - 1...

Retail Maxim - Mystery Shopping !

Advantages: Fun way to earn some extra money, get paid for expenses such as petrol and parking etc
Disadvantages: Work is not guaranteed and you have to have the money to hand and will be reimbursed later.

...OK, for those of you who read my recent review about Retail Eyes - Mystery Shopping, this review is going to be very similar except with different aspects as I believe this company to be slightly better! Again I'll start by telling you what exactly Mystery Shopping entails: What is Mystery Shopping? Being a mystery shopper is all about being paid to eat out/shop/purchase items/evaluate a service very discreetly without the selected company realising what you are doing. For example, you could be paid to go to a shop and evaluate the service you receive and the cleanliness of the store and maybe even purchase something. Then after the visit you have to fill in a questionnaire all about your experience and submit it to the shopper company (in this case retail maxim). How do I register? Registration is dealt with via...

Review of Retail Maxim

Max out on mesmerising Maxim Vengerov

Advantages: Intimate insight into charismatic classical violinist
Disadvantages: Appalling accompanying production package from EMI

...the somewhat narrow road of a classical virtuoso's life as Maxim starts his sabbatical. He says poignantly how strange it is not to be jumping on another plane somewhere, or having a concert or rehearsal that evening...! As he starts to study jazz violin he realises that HIS way of playing is so disciplined that he has to learn all over again how to be "free" in order to improvise successfully. Quite a revelation for him obviously and he talks about how this new ability will help him when he returns to classical playing after his sabbatical. Maxim is honest about his attitude towards music and one has to gasp at the revelation that at the age of 15 he really wondered if he wanted to make it his career! Music just flows out of the guy - how could he have that kind of doubt.... this leads nicely into the preparation for the Viola Rock...

Review of Maxim Vengerov - Living the Dream DVD

Maxim's good

Advantages: Awesome!
Disadvantages: None

...Maxim magazine is one of the best that I've ever read. It is packed with info about women, sex, gadgets, and sports. Each magazine has several photo shoots of beautiful women, and wonderful advice on how to have one of your own. Though it is not a pornographic magazine, you can certainly get your kicks from it. Most of the photos are half-nude, and of amazingly beautiful women. I would definetly recommend this magazine to any man, or woman. Though I do not subscribe to it, I buy it almost monthly. It is my favorite magazine on the stands right now. If you are a man and you haven't read this magazine yet, you definetly need to give it a try. Both the British and American versions are great, giving you two times a month to read this magazine....

Review of Maxim

I can't recommend Retail Maxim.

Advantages: Money! Potential to be useful to include on CV.
Disadvantages: Assignment briefs not sent; having to chase them up each time; unfriendly people on the end of the phone; told me they could not communicate via email instead of mobile (?); not a lot of jobs to do.

.... On the second visit I obtained the refund and enquired about the service. If a refund is not given, Retail Maxim say to contact them and they will sort this out. I should say that one assignment I was offered required me to spend a lot of money, more than I could afford, and I was not willing to take the risk, as I was new to Retail Maxim, and if the refund had taken some time to come through, this would have left me too low on funds in the meantime. Again the response to me being honest about this was cold ... no surprise there! I should say at this point that the pay isn't great and the jobs, in my area anyway (North East), are a bit sparse. There are potentially assignments that can pay you £20, although I did not experience this. Travel expenses are given though, which is a plus. But, for each assignment, the brief was not sent, so I had to...

Review of Retail Maxim

Maxim - fo the older lad

Advantages: Good articles from home and abroad and naked celebs
Disadvantages: Too much flesh not enough articles

...This is a magazine that sits itself in the main stream of gentlemen?s magazines. You have loaded which is for genuine lads at one end and GQ at the other for the people with money who want to be lads. Then in the middle ground you have Maxim and FHM, which is where I think my tastes lie. I think that FHM and Maxim are the best out the magazines currently available, but Maxim just wins by a neck. The magazine is aimed at the 20 to 30ish lad about town with some money to burn who believes he has his own style. I don?t fit into this description, but I read the magazine anyway because it has the right balance of serious articles, naked or semi-naked women and the fun stuff. The problem is that the amount of naked flesh per issue has been increasing and the amount of the articles (which believe it or believe it not I do by the magazine...

Review of Dell Studio 15

MAXIM-UM SATISFACTION

Advantages: Identical to the Double Maxim of old.
Disadvantages: You might get carried away and have one too many!

...(1.5 by 3 inches), and half taken up by bar code, but still manages to provide a brief history of this wondrous brew, the company address, the bottles capacity (550mls), and the strength of the beer (4.7 % Vol). Oh, and the little recycling mark is on there too. ●●●THE BEER●●● Well I did get home without cracking open a bottle, and I restrained myself further to allow the fridge to do its work and chill the nectar for an hour…That’s all that I could handle! I flipped off the lid and was hit by a nostalgic moment. I was taken back to the last pint of Double Maxim that I had in our local, now ex-Wards pub. In fact I thought then it would be the last Double Maxim that would ever pass my lips. Hurrah! I was wrong! The aroma was as I remembered it. Quite sweet, and very tempting...
