Advantages: They do the job
Disadvantages: Too Small

...of wipe - rub product with the sole purpose of keeping the screen clean. Not willing to look at a smeary screen a moment longer I made hast to my local PC World with the express aim of procuring some of the aforementioned cleaner. Sure enough, a neat little stack of a product called Storex™ TFT & LCD Screen Cleaning Tissues (henceforth in this review to be known as Screen Tissues) was displayed alongside the TFT monitors so I grabbed a tub and paid the £4.99 necessary to purchase them. Storex™ was not a company I had heard of before but a quick look at their web-site informed me that they offer a comprehensive range of computing accessories. They are best known for storage solutions but have recently moved into computer maintenance and cleaning products which of course is how I came to know of them. The screen tissues are packaged...

Advantages: cheap, good quality laptop with decent features, upgradable.
Disadvantages: no bluetooth. memory will need upgrading if moving on to Windows Vista

...First off what an easy to use laptop full of built in features for a very reasonable price ( £349.99 upwards) was £380 when i purchased mine but is worth every penny. Why people pay in excess of £500 for machines with a lower spec is beyond me. Acer have come a long way in providing great quality laptops at a lower price. on first run you follow the setup options and then it recommends you create a restore disc i did this using 2 blank dvd's with ease just following the on screen instructions. once this was complete i did the windows updates to get it fully upto date. The inbuilt wireless adapter (Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adapter) connects so easy to my wireless network with a reasonable range even in the garden. The 15.4" WXGA wide CrystalBrite TFT LCD Display is just as good as its name suggests (crystal) it displays... Read review

Advantages: Modern Design, Slim, excellent picture, ease of use
Disadvantages: Expensive

...and cell link monitors priced at £309.99 each, so maybe it might be worth considering that for the sake of an extra £10 you can get a 17" TFT, larger in size and probably with better resolution specs. The key word here is brands, sony have the power and brand position to charge what they want and its up to the consumer what they think is more important. Would you go for a top of the range sony 15" TFT or a bottom of the range Medion 17" TFT for around the same price? Well that one is up to you, but as you can see I obviously opted for the brand. The sony SDM HS53 really is a top of the range 15" TFT with everything you could ever want from a monitor....and more, the question is would you be willing to pay the hefty price tag?... Read review

Advantages: Great power and control. Nice paint work.
Disadvantages: Price to some, and time to adjust to it.

...SIMPLE ROUND UP FOR PEOPLE WITH SOME BASIC BADMINTON KNOWLEDGE POSTED AT THE BOTTOM AS A ADD-ON Yonex - Manufacturer Muscle Power 99 - Model Muscle Power (MP) - Range This is a badminton racket before we start looking at anything, and being honest its for advanced players, and used by quite a lot of international players, and was even the choice of men's singles champion Lin Dan of China for a long time. If you are new to badminton ill try to explain the technical jargon as best I can, but the first things you will need to know is that Yonex are the Microsoft of the badminton world. The muscle power range of rackets currently contains MP99 (muscle power), MP88, MP44, MP29LT, MP25P and MP21. The MP21 being the lowest, cheapest and thus most budget of the range. The MP99 on the other hand being the top of the range, most... Read review

Advantages: Easy to clean, loads of storage space and looks nice and modern
Disadvantages: nearly thought we wouldn't get it in the kitchen!

...We moved into our house last July and inherited the existing appliances. If you can all remember last July we were experiencing a tropical heatwave and when the lager you want to drink is colder out of the fridge and not int it you know it is time to get a new one! We had been to various shops - Comets/Currys etc and looked at fridge/freezers not reallys sure what we wanted but discovered that a lot of them had bigger fridges than freezers and we really needed a decent amount of freezer space. We had both looked at the ZX99 - liked it and when your bloke can say a positive remark about a domestic appliance half the battle is won! At that time we were not looking to buy as we were sure that what was in the house would do for a couple of months - it was not to be. Fast Forward 3 days into the heatwave, lager is warm, milk...

...EA Sports has really done a good job of transcending typical sports-games presentation. With each and every passing game, it feels more and more like a televised sporting event. The same rule applies with Tiger Woods 99, EA's newest golf-game franchise. Yes, along with the vigor and exuberance the young Tiger has brought to the game of golf, so too has EA livened up the often drab trappings of virtual golf. But is it good enough to make a difference? As with most golf games, the usual array of options and modes are included: number of holes played, Mulligans, weather effects, the Skins Game, shoot-out, tournament, and tour play, etc. In Tiger Woods 99 you can also use or play against seven other professional golfers, including Lee Jacobsen and Tom Kite. For armchair golfers who need to get up to speed, there's also a practice mode. Let... Read review

Advantages: a lot
Disadvantages: no

...Hi my name is Igor and here is my opinion about very popular game: NHL 99. I think that it is very good, nice, interesting and it really famous game. Hockey is very popular game especially in Europe. In the same ways in Russia maybe our team is not the best but I think that the team of Russia can play enough good. So it is very interesting when you watch on TV the final hockey game between two greats teams for example Sweden and Finland. It is very pleasant to watch it with the cup of beer. So EA sport create the game NHL 99. There are enough much notations, sharply improved graphics and animations so that forms of players become more good but ice arenas simply on the other level of good. And goalkeepers have more science of playing so it makes the game more interesting and more difficulty. In general possible only greet... Read review

Disadvantages: Lack of in-built detergent tank.

...Karcher Karcher Karcher, where art thou Karcher! Every home should have one, if there is one thing you buy this year, make it a Karcher pressure washer! The leading brand (in my personal opinion and many others) that offers performance, value for money, ease of use and most of all, reliability. The K4.99M (Commonly found as K4.99M Deluxe) is perfect for DIY and covers an array of tasks, from cleaning decking, patio, facia, the car, motorbikes and many many more. It houses a 1900w auto start/stop motor within its yellow belly, producing a nice 130bar work presssure at a 400ltr water flow output per hour making light work of cleaning up stains suck as oil and stubborn grime like moss. This particular unit comes with built-in wheels which adds to its ease of mobility. The unit (Deluxe model) comes complete with 6m of hose... Read review
