microRUBBISH!

Advantages: lightweight
Disadvantages: too many - look at the review..

...The microKORG is one of the best selling synthesizers worldwide and has been used by several electronic bands such as Enter Shikari and Massive Attack. The box simply contains the tiny 2kg microKORG itself, the vocoder microphone, power supply and manual. Users may at first be surprised by exactly how small the product is if they haven't seen it in real life before. It has only 3 octaves, and the keys are reminiscent of those found on a toy keyboard. One thing is for sure; don't expect to be playing any Bach or Beethoven on this baby, as it is almost impossible to get any articulation or expression in the cheap, plastic, weightless keys. The preset sounds that are supplied are the epitome of mediocrity. On the other hand, the modulation wheel on the left of the keys is extremely handy and easy to use. However i felt that apart from...

McCain Micro Chips

Advantages: Convenient and kids love em!
Disadvantages: Dry and bland tasting

...I took my 6 year old son on the weekly food shop with me in the half term holidays - big mistake! His little eyes lit up at the sight of all the goodies on Tescos shelves. When walking through the freezer section he noticed some McCain Micro Chips in the freezer and asked if he could have some as his best friend liked them! I'm not a fan of frozen chips as a whole but to keep him happy I threw a packet in the trolley. Each packet of Micro Chips is a small, black, rectangular cardboard box. The box has a perforated front which you rip open before you microwave them. When I opened the front up the chips looked quite cheap in appearence. The chips themselves are quite long and thinly cut. You get 4 packs of Micro chips packaged together within a clear cellophane wrapper. These are priced at £1.41 for the pack of 4. Sometimes you can...

Micro scrubbers.

Advantages: Makes sin super soft and squeeky clean
Disadvantages: Feels like your rubbing sand on your skin

...Avon's new line of skin care products is called ? Clinical? and is fantastic at solving an array of skin conditions. Avon has built it's reputation up and they now have the image of selling top quality salon clinical treatments the sort that you would pay hundreds of pounds for at the beauty salon, but with Avon's new range you can have the treatments at the fraction of the price. Micro defoliant is a beauty treatment, which finely polishes the skin. If you have it done at a beauty salon they use a special machine and they put invisible micro crystals onto your skin. These stimulate the blood flow to your skin, removing all the dead skin cells, revealing the new skin underneath. I was really eager to try the new Avon Anew Clinical Micro-Exfoliant product after seeing it in their online store. I had read about micro...

Gameboy Micro - A Forgotten Gem

Advantages: Looks fantastic, Great battery life, amazing screen, huge library of games, cheap
Disadvantages: Outdated, Non-Standardised Charger, Less than satisfactory speakers

...Though I was aware of the Gameboy Micro's release in 2005, it seems like myself, no one really took any notice at all when it launched, obscured by the release of 2004's original Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. The GBMicro really didn't offer anything new to the handheld gaming market at all, though there are a few factors which does help level the field of the major handhelds. Upon release, a brand new Gameboy Micro retailed for around £60-80, which for a seemingly out-of-date console was extortionate. Fortunately the price has come down a great deal in the last 2 years or so, seemingly over-stocking the Pink version as it is the cheapest available to which I purchase for a mere £13 as new from eBay. The box itself for the Micro is quite small and stylish. Inside are the usual refinements: - A4 'poster' advertising the Micro and GBA games...

Dry chips anyone? (McCain Micro Chips)

Advantages: Quick to cook.
Disadvantages: Taste terrible.

...McCain micro chips are in my opinion a classic going back to my Uni days and they have always featured in my life! Although I do admit the chips are not the best I have ever eaten but for 3 minutes in the microwave what do you expect! The box I have is made of cardboard and branded McCain Microchips on the front and name "crinkle" which is the type of chips I selected. Cleary advertised on the front of the box is that the product cooks within three minutes. The back of the box contains cooking instructions (basically microwave for three minutes), the box contains 100g of chips, storage instructions (keep frozen) and contact details (see the end of this review). Strangely there is no ingredients list or nutritional information provided so for the meantime this information should be sought from the contact details provided at the end...

Sandisk 8GB micro SD card

Advantages: Large memory capacity, durable for its size, very reliable
Disadvantages: None really apart from it being quite small

...The Sandisk Micro-SDHC Secure Digital 8192 MB (8 GB) memory card is known as an SD micro card, basically because SD memory cards are the smallest you can currently purchase. It measures in at 15mm x 11mm and comes with an adapter when you purchase the card. The Micro SD card format is used mainly for mobile phones, because of the sheer size and the cards ability to hold huge amounts of data. Although, mainly built for mobile phone use, SD micro cards like the Sandisk Micro SD 8 GB can be used in devices such as hand-held GPS devices, portable audio players, video game consoles and numerous other devices. With the 8 GB of storage space, you can hold thousands of songs (approximately 2000), thousands of photos as well as hundreds of videos and other files. When you purchase the 8GB SD micro memory card you get an adapter with it...

Review of Sandisk Micro-SDHC Secure Digital 8192 MB

Micro in size mighty in storage

Advantages: fast and reliable
Disadvantages: None.

...About three weeks ago I took delivery of my new micro sd card from my beloved Amazon, the card in question is a SANDISK MICROSD 2GB PREMIER which comes complete with adaptor so it can be used in my printer or card reader. I bought a Sandisk for the simple fact that they are a well known memory card maker that gets great write ups and when it comes to my mobile phone which was what the card was bought for I take no chances. I use my phone to take photos and video clips a lot of which are of my niece and nephew and you know those special moments can't be replaced and as my phone has virtually no built in memery, I needed a card I could rely on and in the Sandisk I believe that's what I bought. I expected to pay over the odds because i wanted a Sandisk rather than the cheaper options but as usual Amazon came good and with delivery...

Micro Limp

Advantages: Quick
Disadvantages: limp but hard in the middle, just horrible

...I like chips almost as much as I love chocolate, so when I passed the frozen department in ASDA and saw these I thought I'd give them a try. They come in 4 packs at around £1.09. The packaging Is probably the most exciting thing about these, it's a lovely red colour with Mccains Micro Chips in big bold yellow letters. Each box is about 1.5 inches high, 4 inches wide and 6 inches high. To cook you simple open the box along the perforations at one end and flick this up. Bung in the microwave for 1 min 15 secs. Open the box fully and place the chips directly into the nearest dustbin. This will save you the unpleasant task of having to taste them. I have tried various settings on the micro wave to cook these but the end result is always the same. A limp soggy tastless chip. I wasn't expecting my chips to be as good as normal...

micro toastie

Advantages: good for a quick snack
Disadvantages: soft pale coloured cheese

...When these first came out they were on special offer - around £1 - so I decided to buy one. I don't have a sandwich toaster at home, so I dont get to eat toasties often , and I thought these were a great idea for a quick snack. They are packaged in a black box with a picture of the product on the front. The box is in the same style as those of the micro pizzas and the micro chips you can buy. You get two triangles in each box. The toastie was cheese and ham flavour, and you cook it by putting it in the microwave straight from the freezer. Apologies for not knowing how long as i no longer have the wrapper. When I opened the box, the product looked just as you would expect a toastie to look - just frozen! and when i cooked it, it still looked and smelled as it should. But the taste of it was not quite what i was expecting...
