Advantages: HAS NICE PROCESSORS.
Disadvantages: FAULTY AT TIMES.

...I got this laptop as a present some couple of months ago so did not spend any on it. Well to compare to my previous laptop, they are of the same range but with slight difference. The slight difference is that in my old laptop, it is not as fast as this recent one. I now have two laptops and one must go but yet to decide on the one. It has a dual core processor and this means that the main processor consists of two processor within a single chip and this makes it possible for you to run two programs at a time comfortably. Probably, the dual core has an edge over the single one. It has 2GB memory capacity that is quite capacitated for storing in formations. Along with an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110 graphics card that has 512 MB memory storage. This laptop is well designed and it gives me what I really expected from it the day I got it... Read review

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 the subwoofers... Read review

Advantages: good quality pictures, small, stylish, remote control
Disadvantages: Only 90 mins battery life, can be confusing connecting to PC

...The Sony Handycam DCR TRV285E is a great camera for first time users. This camera can easily be operated without even having to read the instruction manual. It has the "Easy Handycam" feature which sets the camera settings automatically. The camera is light and easy to use. When recording there is a zoom function, the ability to have a title for the movie and various faders for opening and closing shots. The camera has a nightvision mode which uses infrared and gives you an eeirie green appearance to everything which is actually quite handy, or if filming in dull locations there is a handy light on the front of the camera. The camera can also be used to take still shots with a simple press of a button, this means you don't need to carry your normal camera as well. The camera comes with a remote control which allows you to control... Read review

Advantages: Great toy when you have lots of it.
Disadvantages: very dissapointing

...Magnetix Well I purchased this box from Argos for £29.99 because I thought that it would be quite good to experiment with to see what I could make. It comes in a nice big blue storage box so you can keep all of your pieces inside. The box is a 285 piece set so I was over the moon that I was getting so much for this price as I have seen the GEOMAG that sells for twice this amount. Well when I purchased it and felt the weight of it thought whay I'm on to something here, there's loads. It's a big blue container with the Magnetix logo on it sealed with vacuumed packed cellophane, so I ripped this off so I could start playing. But to my disappointment when I opened the box there was a polystyrene sheet that held the pieces in place and it didn't really look that exciting anymore. So I removed this polystyrene and found...

Advantages: Price, Quality, ease of use, gives you more control over pictures
Disadvantages: If just just want to print normal photos, still cheaper to use a photo shop

...quality printing paper, because if you use bog standard paper, however good the printer is, you will not get the best end result. I wanted quality, so got some proper photo quality printing paper, and the photos are outstanding! I am not totally sure about the economy of using the product, as prices at photo shops have been geting better, meaning uunless there is a reduced price in the ink and photo paper, it will always be a bit more expensive to have your own photo printer, but in my opinion it opens the doors for a lot of opportunities, you have an open canvas, you dont only have to use the photo that you have taken as "a photo", but you can (using a photoshop style program) get a lot more out of one photo than if you took it to a photo shop! In my opinion, this Epson Stylus Photo R285 is the best photo printer that I have experienced (My... Read review

Advantages: Uses anaesthetic to ease sore throat & can be bought over the counter
Disadvantages: Can be slightly expensive

...I have just started using these lozenges and all I can say is 'I wish I heard of them sooner'! I used to get tonsillitis all of the time and I would have loved to have used them back then, because I can see that they would have helped a lot. Anyway I have had a sore throat for a few days now and I saw Merocaine advertised in my local chemist and thought that I would give it a go. The lozenges really are brilliant, they have anaesthetic in them which means that it numbs the back of your throat. Also if you have a tickly cough it helps you to stop coughing because it provides rapid relief of pain and discomfort in sore throats and superficial mouth infections. Also on the box it states that it provides symptomatic relief of pain and discomfort in more serious throat infections such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis. Cost: ****** £2.85... Read review

Advantages: Good Value
Disadvantages: average

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market. Unfortunately it contributes significantly to global warming. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. The size of the unit is: (H)8cm, (W)43cm, (D)28.5cm excluding feet. Colour: Silver/Grey I paid £79.99 at Argos... Read review

Advantages: Engine, Build quality, Residual value, Low fuel consumption
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to the competition

...Last april I got a VW Passat 1.9 TDI 115 bhp as a company car. In Belgium, where I live, about 60% of the cars sold has a diesel-engine. This Passat goes faster than an average 1.8 or 2.0 petrol-car and drinks only 6.5 litres every 100 kilometres ! For a car that delivers 285 Nm and 115 bhp it's nearly a miracle. My Passat has very comfortable sports seats and the climatronic airconditioning. I strongly recommend buying the Passat with this airco. It adds to the driving comfort and boostst te residual value upon resale. The 115 bhp-engine is now being replaced by a 100 and a 130 bhp - version... I'd take the 130 bhp-one, it's fun to drive and cheap to use.... Read review
