Advantages: Low cost, Good features, Ease of use
Disadvantages: Slightly buggy

...PowerDirector 7 Ultra is a fairly big step forward from version 6. The main improvements have been made to the editing side of the program. The importing of media and outputting to file/disk have always been good. PowerDirector 7 Ultra can capture directly from many sources including DV, HDV, analogue and digital tuners, webcams and AVCHD. The following file formats are supported:- HD MPEG-2, DVR-MS, DV-AVI, DAT, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, VRO with Dolby Digital 5.1/2.1, WMV, WMV-HD, MOV, MOD, live capture, TOD, AVCHD (M2T), MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) The most notable improvement over PD6 is the increase in PIP (Picture in Picture) tracks to 6. Previously only a single PIP track was available. Also it is now possible to layer up to 7 effects on a single clip, again previously only 1 effect could be applied to a clip. Effects can now be key... Read review

Advantages: ease of use , reliable and soo quiet
Disadvantages: needs better mobo spacers underneath to space from case

...I Purchased the motherboard and an xp 3500 processor, setup was easy on this motherboard. The first thing i noticed is the OTIS cooling, no fan's on the motherboard just a heat pipe that goes from the central core of the motherboard to a bay that keeps the system cool by extracting the heat through the pipe. Very silent compared to fan systems ie northbridge fans too noisy. The audio system is realtek ac 97 chipset supporting 7.1 channel sound, I havent tested the 7.1 but the 5.1 senses the speakers automatically through the software and configures them easily. The abit software updates the bios automatically as the board now supports the FX series chip's. On board sata and raid with a socket 939 I have 2 1gb corsair 400 1gb sticks on dual channel and this thing speeds along. Software includes nvidia's firewall and active... Read review

Advantages: Fits kids from 9mths to 12 years old. Looks Great. Comfortable.
Disadvantages: Not an isofix seat. Price (but justifiable)

...and after 3 weeks couldn't say when they could get one to us so we went to Halfords and they fitted it for us instead. The price may seem expensive but as this seat is designed for use until your child doesn't need a car seat we saw it as a good investment. Due to the fact that car seats designed for use for up to 4 years old probably won't fit our son that long (he's very tall and his big brother at 7 years old is now too tall for child seats!!!) this way we'll avoid shelling out twice. We think this seat is great and are going to get another one for our second car (oh how easy it was to move the rear facing seat from one car to another!!!). We waited a number of weeks to test the Evolva Ultra 123 out first before making this decision so we obviously think it's good if we are willing to spend that kind of money on another one....

...The Kodak Ultra Sport Camera is ideal for outdoor activities such as swimming. This camera is great to use in a Swimming Pool. SPLASH and DASH all you want in the pool. Take pictures of parties in the pool and other events within your swimming pool. The new look camera is sealed in a robust rubber casing that is waterproof and sand proof!

Advantages: Good feel. Very fast. Quiet.
Disadvantages: Only for Windows 2000, XP, Vista. A bit flimsy build quality.

...Logitech Ultra X premium keyboard (1,8 meter cord) I have owned this keyboard for 7 months. This keyboard had a really great feel to it. Very fast and responsive. If you ever wanted a keyboard that feels like your laptop, but is big like normal keyboards then this is for you. The keyboard is very quiet and therefore a good gift to give a colleague who is an agressive typer. Bu
