The Philips SPC 200N PC Webcam

Advantages: Relatively cheap and robust
Disadvantages: Poor picture quality

...The Philips SPC 200N PC Webcam, I only recommend it as a budget camera! The Camera's User guide is VERY easy to follow - only two pages of instruction in each of 8 languages! Installation takes minutes. Camera (about 4X6X8 cm and as light as a feather) plugs into a USB so does not require an extra power supply. It is very robust, but being so light it tends to be dragged to the side by the weight of its own wire! Flat base so cannot be mounted onto a laptop or speakers. Looks just like the image on the box? Picture quality is painfully bad, and cannot cope with ANY movement, but most budget webcams are like that? Microphone not inbuilt but a massive one you have to keep right in front of your moth is included. Software you can use to take videos with the camera is included in the installation CD, but video quality is...

Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

.... Prepare for your young ones to take candid shots of you, then "improve" them by warping the pictures in silly ways or adding funny frames.

Personal review of the Philips 42PFL7404H

Advantages: Slimmer and lighter than many LCD TVs of similar size.
Disadvantages: None come to mind.

...This is an excellent example of Philips ingenuity. If you are about to consider changing to a larger screen size, then this 42' screen is well worth a closer look. It has a superb contrast ratio, which really improves the definition of the darkest and lightest images and displays striking colours that are lifelike and vibrant. The ease of installation is also a great benefit, whereby most settings can be achieved through a simple automatic process. Should you also be thinking of wall mounting this receiver, then you will be pleased to know that this particular model is thinner than many TV's currently available and also a lot lighter. The remote control has been well thought out with a special home button, which enables easy selection of external devices, like satellite boxes, digital receivers, DVD players and recorders or PC...

Philips Electric Shaver

Advantages: Built In Conditioner, quiet, stylish, effective
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean

...and colours. The feel of it is very comfortable on the hand and is easy to grip, due to slight ridges around the back of the shaver. This also makes it very comfortable and easy to hold, which i would say is one of the most important factors in something that is to be used daily. Also, obviously, it must be good at its job. Which this shaver is. It did a very good job, and was the closest shave i have ever had. I was previously using a gillette mach 3 razor and shaving foam. The Philips shaver eliminates the need for shaving foam, which i always found an annoyance. I think that the reason for the closeness is the fact that each of the heads vibrates/girates and moves independantly, meaning that they can move accordingly to each person's individual features. Moving around the jaw bone and cheek bones, means that it gets alot closer to the skin...

Review of Philips HS 8020 Moisturizing /COOL SKIN

5.1 for your PC, Philips doesn't disappoint!

Advantages: Good value, designed for compatibility for a large selection of sound cards
Disadvantages: audible hiss when quiet

...Product Overview These speakers are primarily designed for connecting to a 5.1 compatible PC Soundcard. As with all 5.1 Kits, 6 speakers are provided: Front, Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, Rear Right and Subwoofer(for bass). When correctly configured, the speakers will play Dolby Digital surround sound.

Where mono systems have one speaker, and stereo systems have 2, Dolby Digital requires 5 speakers + subwoofer to immerse you in sound from all directions. Key Feature Supports Dolby Digital 5.1 and EaX reproduction Experiences The system was very easy to setup. Each speaker is labeled and every jack plug is colour co-ordinated for quick and easy installation. The colours match...

Review of Philips MMS 460

Nice one Philips!

Advantages: Cleans up as it goes
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this trimmer around a month ago after the battery in my old trimmer (also Philips) gave up. As I'd been happy with Philips previously I looked around and found that the choice was basically QT4020 or QT4045. At first I was somewhat skeptical about the idea of having a vacuum trimmer, but based on positive reviews I thought I'd give it a try. The idea also appealed to my other half who for some reason isn't a fan of finding the toilet seat covered in beard trimmings so I ordered from Amazon for £27.14. First impression is that unit is noticeably larger than my previous model, perhaps due to the added vacuum unit, but it's still perfectly manueverable. As far as perfroming its primary role this is a good trimmer. At 1 - 3 length cuts its performs well and most importantly the toilet seat remains beardless. At length 0 (no guard...

Disadvantages: poor instructions and specification guide

...iqon helpline. the instructions and spec guide are not that helpfull but the helpline is if you have any queries. the pc is solid built and good quality and philips have a partnership with iqon so you get the philips quality components. it comes with standard 12mth guarantee. iqon is based ireland and mainly sell through mail order catalogues and in some large tesco's the price i paid was £1000 and given the little extra that usualy gets added to catalogue prices i think it was a resonable price. there are cheaper lower spec pc's available from iqon also. all in all this is a good pc witha good spec and build quality standard warranty (12mth) and free helpline....

Philips Arcitec Shaver

Advantages: easy to clean, smooth shaving, docking bay
Disadvantages: doesnt hold most charge, compared to others, but good enough

...Note: This is my boyfriends shaver - I wrote the review while he dictated. I don't need to use a shaver (...at least I think I don't...) I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday as an upgrade to a previous Philips shaver. It was on offer in Boots at the time and I paid about £140 as well as generating some Boots loyalty points. ~~~~~~~ The Unit ~~~~~~~ At the time it was the 2nd from the top of the range - the top of the range was the nivea moisturise one. It also has an edge trimmer and the boyfriend does not bother with moisturiser (!) so this model is sufficient. The shaver is about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches wide so it fits in the palm of your hand. The control is an on/off button located in the handle at the front in the centre. ~~~~~~ Usage ~~~~~~ The shaver has an ultra slim and easy to use...
