Advantages: User friendly, audio & visual quality, good size hard drive
Disadvantages: Touch pad is a little tricky to get used to at first

...I have been collecting cd's for about 8 years now, and when deciding to purchase an MP3 player, I took the decision very seriously. My first thought was to forget going down the i-pod route, simply because everyone else was 'raving' about it, and there had to be something on the market equally as good if not better. I was right! After comparing many reviews on various websites, and test-running in many electrical retailers, I finally bought the Toshiba Gigabeat F20. Large screen, great visual quality, excellent sound, easy to use - and most importantly.........Good size hard drive space. After getting to grips with the software and using the 'gigabeat room' a couple of times, I found it quite user friendly, and in no time at all, I was scanning my own album covers to use when ripping. Navigating using the touch pad took a little... Read review

Advantages: High Definition, Great Graphics, Awesome Sound, Wicked Processor + more
Disadvantages: Size and weight

...Andreas, PREY, F.E.A.R, Stubbs . Rebel Without A Pulse, Reservoir Dogs, Quake4, Halo, TOCA3, BattleField2, Hitman: Blood Money to name a few. In my opinion you have to play PREY or F.E.A.R to see what this laptop can really do. The built in hybrid analog and digital DVB-t TV tuner is really good. Easy to setup and install with loads of features. This all runs through Media Center which comes installed. Recording programs, pause live TV, fast forward, rewind etc. You can also play music CDs, DVDs, and watch TV just by pressing a button when the laptop is off through the Qosmio Player. The amount of connections is good USB2.0 (x4), headphone, microphone, iEE, MemoryStick reader, TV out (x2), Composite, VGA, Scart, 56k Modem, Lan, Wireless, Bluetooth, PCMIA + more. The DVD drive is also excellent, its called a DVD Super Multi drive, what... Read review

Advantages: easy to use, slim, one of the cheapest about at the moment
Disadvantages: A lot of hidden costs, no AC adapter

...This years must have item seems to be Satellite navigation. Of course over the last few years these little in car devices seem to have been growing popularity but this years run up to Christmas has really seen an explosion in the advertising and purchase of them. So being into my gadgets and not having one I decided with the offers about it was time to invest, especially as I spend a lot of my working week in the car going from one place to another. I did a bit of research on which one to go for and in the end went into Halfords and asked the assistant. I expected the hard sale and to be pushed towards some top of the range model that was miles out of my price range. Instead it was recommended that I go for the Navman F20, one of the cheapest on the market at the moment. In fact at £149 it was Halfords cheapest GPS navigation system... Read review

Advantages: Excellent navigation, easy to install and dismount
Disadvantages: does not have mp3 player like other nav systems

...Since passing my test 3 months ago, my family has noted my poor navigational skills. On recent drives to Portsmouth and Eastbourne (where getting lost doubled the journey time!) I relied on print outs from AA and the old fashioned A-Z. You can imagine my joy at receiving a Sat Nav system for Christmas! ***Navman/The Navman F20*** I have always been skeptical about navigation systems, in particular hearing about the systems directing people the wrong way. However, the F20, is supposedly the simplest, most reliable GPS navigation system on the market today. So on recommendation from friends and because it fitted his price bracket, it led to my other half buying this Navman for £150-£250 (he wouldn't tell me the exact cost!) from Halfords. The packaging itself is enough to get anyone excited! The device came in a small... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, clear touch screen, petrol button
Disadvantages: Occasionally voice directions get confusing

...I bought the Navman F20 for my girlfriend for xmas, but have found myself using it more than she does. I find it fun to use. The screen is big and clear, yes the F20 is wider than the TomTom etc, but it is very slim in comparison. The touch screen is easy to use, and the in-screen buttons and options are simple to follow. From first taking it out of the box we had it up and running in under 2 minutes. I bought this product because it was at the cheaper end of the market at £150 from Argos. It comes with the unit, an in car cradle and an in car charger, I have heard complaints that it doesn't come with a wall charger or a PC connection cable, but we only use this product in the car, so we do not have a need to charge it in the house. It comes with maps to cover all of the UK and Ireland, so again I can see no need... Read review

Advantages: As good as Tom Tom
Disadvantages: None

...Until l i used the navman f20 i must admit that i always thought the best sat nav was tom tom. But I guess i was wrong. The Navman F20, which is actually the cheaper end of the sat nav market is incredible value for money. It has exactly the same features as Tom Tom but for a lot less money. You can find your destination by post code, street name and area, the screen shows you the roads of the road you are on which is always helpful, it has camera locations loaded, it remembers previous destinations and is just so simple to use, i never even picked up the instructions! It comes complete with cradle and in car charger too and in my opinion is just the right size so you can see the route easily without restricting your view of the road ahead. I also think it calculates the route much quicker than the tom tom i had. Great deal i... Read review
