...Acer Travelmate 290LCi I am using this laptop currently, right now I am even typing on it I have been using this laptop for around 6 months after it was bought for my by my boyfriend who bough it off his dad for just £50 it originally started life in a school as one of their many laptops and when they updated them they were just dis-guarded. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it when I bought it and it was all wiped clean and ready to use by the time I got it. It came with Windows XP Professional already installed which is the standard operating system for this brand of laptop. Since owning this laptop it has been brilliant I had not had a laptop before this and found it great for lying in bed till late on a night on the internet, it is only very light weighing around just 2.8kg so not very heavy at all. It has a 15" screen... Read review

...> Introduction < Buying a budget laptop seems to be a becoming more and more popular. The quality keeps rising. Acer has shown this with its latest TravelMate laptop. I needed it for general work, which seemed ideal. > What's it got? < The 5720G model has a dark grey exterior and easy to access control. At the heart is an Intel 2GHz T7300 Core 2 Duo processor (very fast for a laptop), though I feel this is simply to make Windows Vista work on it at an acceptable performance (it comes installed with Vista Home Premium). It also comes installed with a decent 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM, this should be enough to run Vista smoothly for some time to come, even if you like to run all of your applications at the same time! Hard disk space is generous too. Its nominal 160GB capacity is enough to leave more than 125GB free for your own... Read review

...Right I bought this laptop around 3 years ago and I have had my moneys worth. It cost £400 but I cannot remember where I bought it. I now sit here on the laptop three years on writing this review. ---------------------------------------------------------- Good Points ---------------------------------------------------------- <>The Laptop has a decent sized screen (1024 X 768) and therefore makes watching DVD’s on the go very easy. It also means you can view more of internet pages in one go and makes image editing that little bit easier. <>It is slightly bulkier than modern laptops but overall it is still of a cartable size when on the move (after all it is a travel mate) I also purchased a laptop case which cost £25 where I can put the laptop, charger, mouse, mouse mat, USB stick, and the kitchen sink in. <>It is quick...

...- - - - - - - - - - - Review Of The Sony Ericsson T290i I have read many reviews of the Sony Ericsson T290i online and decided to give my say on this very controversial mobile phone. This entry level mobile phone will suit the user who wants a mobile phone to do what it is supposed to do: make phone calls and, if you wish send SMS messages. Forget about camera, mp3 player and wireless connectivity it simply isn't available on this model. If you just want a phone that is extremely compact, reliable, and makes phone calls then this stylish model is for you. Do not in any case consider the mobile if you want any of the "cool" features such as camera and mp3 player. I would recommend the mobile for technophobes, people who want a basic phone and for people who work in industries where it is going to get bashed around a lot... Read review
