Pocket sized portability with the Asus Eee Pc 701

Advantages: Price, size, portability
Disadvantages: Processor power, memory capacity

...The ASUS EEE PC 701 model is an extremely affordable, small and portable netbook with a 7" screen and built in wifi card designed primarily for internet use. The standard model comes with a built in 2 gigabyte solid state hard drive and comes in a variety of colours and finishes ranging from matt white through to pastel pink. The white ones are probably your best bet as in my opinion they are slightly more stylish, echoing shades of the Macbook Air. The EEE PC comes with a built in microphone on all models and webcam on most models and runs on a Linux based operating system although it can be configured to run on a Windows based system. Windows based versions are planned for release by the company shortly. The Linux distribution is extremely stable with a Windows like user interface although for those not quite used to Linux you...

Review of Asus Eee PC 701

Sony PSP

Advantages: Clear screen, lots of features, easy to use and a large range of games and movies.
Disadvantages: Can't be used with strong light and quite easy to damage/scratch

...surfer. With the correct WiFi connections the PSP can be used to look at any site you wish on the internet - including emails. The PSP also offers the very useful application of being able to download game demos staright onto the PSP with no extre fee and no limit to how long you can keep the demo. All you have to do is connect your PSP to the computer, download the demo you want and then simply drag the file into the PSP and it'll let you play it for as long as you want. As mentioned, the screen on the PSP is a great size and extremely clear making viewing very easy, however, if you were thinking of buying one I would strongly recommend buying a screen protector as the screen is very easily scratched with the tiniest of things. Another minor problem with the screen is the fact that if you play the PSP in a bright place - such as outside...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

The best portable on the market.

Advantages: The look. The portability. The games. The films. The accessories. Pretty much the whole package.
Disadvantages: Not out in the UK yet!!!! Battery life. Loading times

..., Triangle, Circle, Cross' formation - good to see nothing has changed. There are more buttons below the screen, including the standard 'Start' and 'Select buttons. The other buttons are for changing settings - including 'Brightness', 'Music EQ' settings, volume, and one which is essentially a panic button and takes you back to the main interface. On the top of the unit is the eject switch for the disc, and a USB connector for connecting to your computer to download music and video files. The power switch is on the right and the WI-Fi switch is on the left. Both are easy to use and turn on and off, and they won't go on and off by accident! (Thus wasting battery life!) There is also a port for the Memory Stick. The Sony PSP ships with a 32Mb memory stick, but that's only good for save game files, and not good for videos, it would be worth...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

magical PSP

Advantages: Super features
Disadvantages: Graphics-average

...Introduction The PSP (playstation portable) is a unique games console, which allows you to walk about with it anywhere. Also, it includes music, videos, gaming, photos and internet just like the PS3. WOW! It has a very stylish body, which has an analog stick to move your people/players move easier. This has recently been updated to look more sleek, thin and most of all cooool! The newly released games are still included for the PSP and the quality is astounding for such a small device. Another feature is that you can buy a certain camera to put on the PSP so you can snap away anywhere, without having to buy a really expensive one. The quality of the pic is exceptional, since the device was not made for such an advanced feature. If you and your mate have the same game you can also play against each other on that game. The feature is...

Playstation Portable - The PSP

Advantages: Great Graphics, Fun and stylish, can hold upto 500+ MP3'S
Disadvantages: High Price, Fewer game choice, Few small problems

...protect the PSP from bumps and knocks. some of the accessories are expensive, such as the battery which i have seen for around £15 and the sound station which goes upt around £40. I have seen clip on covers for the PSP for sale in a few places so that you can change the colour of the PSP but these restrict the buttons and makes them slightly harder to get to, it may not seem like much but when you get annoyed with a game as it laughs in your face when you die or fail yet again you automatically blame the PSP for some reason and the face will be ripped of and smashed because it made you "miss pushing the jump button" etc. VIDEOS Using a PC or the wireless internet you can save MP4 videos to your PSP to watch over and over again. I Have a simpsons episode saved on my memory stick so i can watch it over and over again amoungst other...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

PSP is still best portable game console

Advantages: Graphics,sound,internet,radio(and other features)
Disadvantages: none

...I have bought a PSP fat(red) as soon as it came out. I didn't buy it for the games as i already owned a PC and PS2 but for the WiFi and portable music/video player. I bought it for £200 on ebay(new) and was very staisfied when it arrived. i connected it to my PC and found that it was very easy to use. I mainly used it on plane- and car journeys . Now i am still using the psp for watching movies, listening to music, surfing the web and from time to time playing a racing game on it. About two weeks ago i have bought the new Nintendo DSi and found that even though it is newer the psp still has better graghics and features( eg. radio demo downloads music WiFi etc). The best thing about the PSP is its internet browser. You can open any website, download movies and videos and even chat with friends on facebook and msn. The battery holds...

Portable computing - iPAKing with a punch

Advantages: Powerful, fast, sleek
Disadvantages: Getting programs into the system

...want to check email. Make sure if you use the client that you use an imap so that it does not remove the original email from the server so that you can download it to your main computer. My girlfriend went for the Palm, ands its good but it was HP for me due to the backup of HP and most importantly the WiFi capability and MS suite of software that came with it. You get Ms Word and Ms Excel, so you can read your docs on the run and also produce material which you can use on your desktop or note book later on. This is real power computing on the small manageable mobile platform. I bought it in my local PC World, in Sprucefield. They were inexperienced and not really able to help me out with my purchase, lucky its not them being reviewed. Make sure you do your research and know in advanced if its this model or one of the others you...

Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC Hx2490

Sony PSP

Advantages: Technologically, the PSP has always been ahead of the pack, and the 3000 just takes it further. I
Disadvantages: Where are the games? Looking at Sony's PSP website, there are only 5 games scheduled for 2009 - an

...I love my PSP, but I'm still playing games I bought 2 or 3 years ago for my original PSP-1000. For a new user, especially, the lack of new games is enough to make anyone worry about investing in one. The 4.3-inch LCD wide screen remains, and it's been tweaked. Sony says the new screen now delivers better color reproduction, reduced glare, and reduced "ghosting" on high-motion scenes. When compared with the 2000, the PSP 3000 does, indeed, deliver better color vibrancy (you can toggle between "wide" and "standard" color in the options to see the difference). As for glare reduction: we didn't find there to be a huge difference. Don't expect to play in direct sunlight, for instance. But you might have better luck with fewer distractions from indoor light sources....

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Sony Playstation Portable

Advantages: Good features, music, videos, internet access, good availibility of games
Disadvantages: Not as advanced as newer consoles/gadgets

...The Sony PSP was revolutionary when it was first released, it holds music, videos, images and allows internet access whereever a valid internet connection is available. The screen is a good size for handheld games console (4.3 inches) and has a processor speed of 333 MHz.. It was released in 2005 and therefore has dramatically decreased in price since then (consoles always depreciate in value due to the improvements and advancements in technology) and can now be bought for as cheap as £35. Many games are available for the Sony Playstation Portable including favourites like Grand Theft Auto and Fifa and my personal favourite Fight Night. It has a battery life of between 6 and 10 hours (depending on what processes are happening on it) until it needs charging. The graphics are impressive as the PSP has the same graphical quality as...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

The PSP

Advantages: Great shape, Easy to use, Good Functions
Disadvantages: Faults with the system

...The PSP was brought as a birthday present, I?m not an Avid gamer and didn?t really intend to become one, So it was without much enthusiasm I opened the box. I was soon gripped though on playing with the buttons and the games that came with it, Pretty soon the PSP never left my hands, I found it easy to use and all the functions were simple, even for someone as simple as me. The battery life on my PSP was fantastic and it kept me entertained for many hours on long journeys, I found the DVD Quality to be good although the DVDs themselves can be slightly pricey. I owned the PSP For 2 weeks before I found any problems with it, I was in the middle of a standard game, and it stopped working, It came up with an error saying the Disc could not be read. Nothing worked to fix it, It hadn?t been dropped or anything - I was mighty disappointed...
