Toshiba F20 - Very Hard To 'GigaBEAT'

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...

Review of Toshiba gigabeat MEG-F20 20 GB

Typical Toshiba

Advantages: Ease of use, memory capacity
Disadvantages: Quality, feel, value for money

...The Toshiba Satellite L500 is the same as most other toshiba laptops. It looks stylish and can do all the basic functions that you would want for a laptop. However, when you use it, you dont feel very comfortable because it feels very cheap. The keyboard is very flimsy and feels like it is about to break every time you type something and the mouse pad and buttons do not respond well. However, the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard is great as it makes it so easy to type numbers. You can buy this laptop with a range of processors and sizes of harddrive so you can choose the one which suits you best. The display is actually very good but the battery life could have been improved. On my model it will last for a maximum of 2.5 hours on its lowest power setting. Overall, this laptop is reasonable at most things but not...

  The F20 Leads Me To My Destination

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...

Nav Man F20

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 to...

Review of Navman F20

No need to fear?the F20 is here!

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...

Review of Navman F 20 Local

NavMan F20 gets you there

Advantages: Easy to use, Speed camera detection
Disadvantages: None

...I am a professional Golfer which means i have to drive all over the country to play. As you can imagine finding the Golf Courses can be very difficult so it soon became apparent that a SatNav was a necessary requirment of what i do. What i was looking for was a touch screen SatNav with rechargable batteries and at a reasonable price. This was the one that was recommended by all shops i went to ask. As it was a reasonable price i bought it. The F20 is so easy to use and has the ability to save addresses you think you may be visiting again. It has never taken me to the wrong place and has a 100% success rate of of getting me to a place on time. It is a partial touch screen with a few buttons down the side for easy of use. It comes with a car charger and has the capacity for a memory card if you want to download and save more maps...

Qosmio Out Of This World

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...
