HP Pavilion M7580N Media Center Desktop PC (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4400+, 2048 MB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, DVD SuperMulti Drive with LightScribe) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very pleased to find that the computer was everything I wanted and more. The processor, as it turns out, is a 4600+, above the processor speed that is listed. It is a 2.41 GHz and runs like none other. The K&M is wireless just so that is specified and all the programs run on it just fine and with amazing speed. Only complaint is I wish it came with more LightScribe disks to try out because it is so cool and easy to use I wanted to keep making labels.
Thanks Amazon.com and HP

Compaq Presario 2105US Laptop (1.53 GHz Athlon XP 1800+, 512MB RAM, 40GB hard drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this machine for about a week now and am completely impressed. This is my first notebook and I purchased it for school and to travel with for work. The battery life runs just under 4 hours at this point and the memory seems more than adaquate. I chose this machine over a similarly outfitted Toshiba due to it's weight (it's almost 2 pounds lighter) and I have no regrets.

Compaq’s Presario 2105US notebook PC strikes a good balance between power, portability, and affordability. It may be the perfect solution for budget-minded professional or personal users who don’t want to settle for a second-rate mobile computer.
At 13 by 10.7 by 1.6 inches and a mere 5.7 pounds, the 2105US is easy to carry yet spacious enough to offer an accommodating full-size, 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad and a sizable 14.1-inch XGA TFT display supporting 1,024 x 768 resolution. Compaq has chosen a capable 1.5 GHz Mobile AMD Athlon XP processor to power the unit, and matched it with a generous 512 MB of DDR SDRAM system memory (upgradable to a massive 1,024 MB). It has added a powerful 64 MB ATI Mobility Radeon AGP 4X video processor and a large 40 GB hard drive. Despite its cost-conscious price, the 2105US is ready to handle any typical notebook task and even some 3-D-intensive applications and games.
The system is not short of amenities. With the integrated DVD/CD-RW combo drive (24x/8x/8x CD, 8x DVD), you can back up your data, burn and enjoy audio CDs, and play your favorite movies. Using the internal 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter or 56K modem, you can access e-mail, networks, or the Internet at both low and high speeds. Other perks include a 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chip, two internal stereo speakers, two USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, parallel and serial ports, headphone-out and microphone-in connections, and an S-Video out. High-speed USB and IEEE FireWire connections are not included.
Compaq has pre-installed a broad range of software, including Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Norton AntiVirus 2002, Microsoft Works, Quicken Financial Center, and Microsoft Money 2003.

Toshiba Satellite P25-S607 17" Media Center Laptop (2.80-GHz Pentium 4 (Hyper-Threading), 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a P25-(s)607 about a month ago and have been nothing but pleased with its performance.
Pros-
a. HUGE screen that really allows you to see a lot at one time
b. really fast computer. Benchmarks were outstanding for this product when I ran them right out of the box. They did nothng but improve after I did all the recommended steps (esp. driver upgrades)
c. Lots of goodies that no other laptop has... 4 USB 2.0 ports are great, and the DVD R/RW is really fast (4x) by today's standards. The 5400 rpm hd is fast, though with 60GB isn't the biggest out on the market these days (though with a dvd rw you really can't mind too much)
Cons-
a. This puppy is BIG... and heavy. Even though the screen is a whopping 17 inches, there is an area around the screen of unused plastic (about a 1-1.5 inch edge) This only adds to the huge footprint of this laptop.
b. The keyboard is relatively big, but is still not quite full size. In fact, the keyboard on my 15 inch compaq laptop is actually wider by almost 3/4 of an inch. It is still a capable keyboard though. It is also placed in about the center of the huge case, which can make using it a bit uncomfortable.
c. Lights, Lights, Lights... boy, this thing has a lot of pretty blue and green lights... and I can't find any way to turn them off. This can be a bit distracting while watching a movie in the dark.
d. Battery/TV tuner issues. there is only one battery port, and if you want to use a secondary drive (or the included tv tuner for that matter) you have to remove the battery. I know it seems semi-logical as you will be plugged into a cable anyway for the tv, but at the same time, you would think toshiba would find a way to incorperate a battery.
e. price- lets face it... this isn't the cheapest laptop on the planet... though it is one of the fastest and best equipped
All in all, I would probably rate this as a 4.5 star computer. I haven't fallen in love with it yet, but the courtship is well on its way.

Compaq Presario CQ60-210US 15.6-Inch Laptop (2.0 GHz AMD Athlon X2 QL-62 Dual-Core Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Compaq Presario CQ60-210US is a very nice, feature rich laptop for home or student use. I was truely impressed with ease of setup, which took about 15 minutes from opening the box and connecting the battery.
This is a rather large laptop and it is somewhat heavy, but not unreasonably so. Here are my observations:
* Large 15.6" screen is very sharp
* Keyboard includes a numeric keypad
* Good sized Hard Drive
* DL DVD RW
* Fast Processor (beats the heck out of my old ACER)
* Lots of RAM (expandable to 4GB)
* 3 USB ports
* Built in Wi-Fi support
* Built in Eathernet
* Built in Modem (but why? :-)
* Built in 5-1 Memory Card reader
Note that this laptop does not have any card expansion slots! This isn't a problem for me, but might be an issue for those wanting to add Firewire or other non-included (like DV) support.
The system scored a respectable 3.8 on the Windows performance scale, which is fairly good for a laptop.
Overall, I am very pleased with Presario CQ60-210US! Highly Recommended!

Dell 2.8 Ghz. Super Fast GX Computer with 19 inch LCD Flat Panel Monitor, Gigantic 750GB Hard Drive, 4GB RAM, DVD Burner (DVD-RW), and New Licensed Windows XP with Genuine Microsoft Authorized CD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this computer as an early Christmas gift for my daughter. Aside from a few cosmetic flaws the computer worked fine for about 2 months. It now overheats, the fan constantly runs and it totally shuts down every 20 minutes. I first wrote a decent review on this product but I spoke too soon. I contacted the seller about the problems and their reply was that nothing could be done since it was outside the 30 day warranty. Ok, my bad. 30 days? This item is a piece of junk. You would do better to go to the big box store and get something much nicer and reliable for the same price!! I currently own a computer purchased at a big box store for approximately the same price and IT STILL WORKS AFTER 6 YEARS!!! So the way I figure it is that I rented this computer for about $100 a month. It's just an expensive paperweight now. Trust me, don't fall for the favorable reviews or the "helpful" customer service. This merchant is a rip off and sells defective products. I realize that I took a chance buying something refurbished with a 30 day warranty, but the computer was still a little pricey. Stay far away from this merchant and their products. I learned the hard way. They got their money. My daughter has a useless machine. Don't make the same mistake I did. Save yourself money and aggravation and get something reliable. Look elsewhere.

ASUS Eee Top ET2002-B0017 20-Inch Black All-in-One Desktop PC (Windows 7 Home Premium) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this computer because my HP was 2005 vintage littered with all kinds of software. I really like Ausus & like the idea of an all in one. I have a thing about finger prints on monitors so the lack of touch screen was not a minus. This computer has the NVIDIA ION engine & I like the idea of "enhanced graphics"
So what's not to like? The computer graphics are no better or worse than those on my HP I have been using. That computer had Intel enhanced graphics & a top of the line Samsung monitor new in 2008. I expected the Asus to run circles are the old computer but they are about equal which is excellent graphics rendering.
And the Asus-with its Atom processor dual core still strains in ripping CDs. It has a nice internal speaker system-better than average but not exceptional.
So the bottom line is that this computer is aethetically pleasing but its performance is nothing special. I guess my expectations were higher than what was delivered. But the kicker was that the computer's over all performance was no better than what I already had. So the computer is fine but so is my software cluttered old computer.
UPDATE: When I reviewed this computer-I was unaware that the C Drive Partition on this computer was 40 Gig. The Data Partition was 250Gig. That is How this computer was set up by Asus at the factory. By defualt-Programs you download go to the C- Not the D partition. Who cares? If you own this computer-you will. What happens is that the C partition is way too small, and overflows. Asus Tech support stinks and they offer no remedy. You can repartition but you need to download third party software. I would NOT buy this Asus model under any circumstances. One star if I could re-rate this review.

Gigabyte Booktop M1022 10.1" WSVGA TFT-LCD / N280 1.66Ghz / 1024x600 / Black LED / 1G SDRAM / 160 HDD with 6 Cell Battery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchase this Gigabyte M1022 for my daughter. I notice during one day of opening the LCD display panel that it was popping or coming loose during opening and closing the netbook. I tried to look for the manual to disassemble the unit but did not find any at there website, I email there tech support and still haven't got a reply. I have a Acer notebook and the disassembly instructions were included. I lucky have had experienced with assembling notebook. I carefully disassemble it to see what the cause was. I notice that there are two small screws that mounts the lcd display panel to the bottom of the netbook. I tried to tighten the two screws on each side and notice they are tight. What I found out was the nuts for which the screw go into are pressed in at the bottom of the netbook had all come loose. How can a tiny screw be used for securing the heavy weight of the LCD display panel. This is design issue. This is from normal everyday use. I would have given this a zero star rating but that was not possible. I will look elsewhere and avoid Gigabyte.

Bluetooth Mini Kb with Touch Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The real advantage to this keyboard is its range, it works for 20-30 feet. The setup in XP with the IOgear GPU421 required the IOgear driver installation.
A Sony Z1WA laptop with built in bluetooth installation did not require any driver instalation.
Windows 7 beta 7000 64 bit installed without a hitch.
The only problem is that the mouse is a little slow and not as smooth as with the other wireless products mentioned below. I set the mouse speed very fast and turned off the "enhance pointer precision" option in Control Panel mouse settings and that helped some.
I have a microsoft wireless keyboard mouse combo and the Adesso WKB-4000, the range on the microsoft is very short, only a few feet. The Adesso is acceptable, maybe 10 feet, however sometimes it is shorter due to interference from other devices. Both have very smooth mouse movement compared to this Bluetooth keyboard (ASK-3962).

Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094 14.1" Widescreen Laptop (Intel Core Duo Processor T2050, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD SuperMulti Drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Once again Toshiba re-defines the marketplace with this incredibly powerful lightweight laptop. How can you beat this? It's only around five pounds and packs incredible power at an amazing price. It's a great deal by the best laptop maker out there. The positives totally outweigh the negatives, but I will mention the few problems. The system makes more fan noise than most other models. If the system were more expensive this would be a deal breaker, but again, this powerful laptop is cheap! The other problem is how the system performs out of the box. As usual the system comes with a ton of pre-installed garbage. It took me 4-8 hours to wipe the hard drive, re-image it with a clean OS, and install the Toshiba drivers. Once this was complete the system worked to my satisfaction. This would be a five star review if the system worked well out of the box. All things considered, Toshiba strikes again!

Kensington 64354 Wireless Optical USB Desktop for Macintosh (Mac) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At first glance you know you made the right choice in purchasing this keyboard/mouse combination.
It fits very well into the astethics of all Apple systems. The plug-n-play is great, and downloading the most up to date software is a breeze on the Kensington website. All hotkeys work flawlessly with Mac programs, opening/controlling iTunes and Safari/Mail, and you even have the option to program 3 keys to your liking.
The transmitter is also a battery charger and they give you 2 extra batteries so that you can switch them out with the mouse or keyboard when necessary, very nice option!
The only downside, use caution when removing the orange warning sticker off the keyboard, it leaves a residue behind.
I would recommend this product to anyone running an Apple system. Fits in well with my 12" PowerBook and 19" LCD monitor combination, and it allows the PB to sleep while running off the external montior, very cool to say the least.
As a side note, Kensington support is top notch as well. I have owned several of their products and if any of them have any problems they will replace it and allow you to keep the original, instead of requiring you to have "down-time" sending it back to them.
Also don't bother checking around, it ain't getting any cheaper then it is here! Great value, great product, great support, great looks.....what more do you need out of a purchase?!

Cables To Go 28652 USB 2.0 Laptop Docking Station with Video (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This works beautifully and so much cheaper than my laptop manufactures (HP)docking station. I can do everything I wanted from a docking station "except" charge my laptop battery. I have hooked up a huge monitor, wireless keyboard, mouse & usb speakers (can hook up a printer also, I just have no need) and was HALF the price. It worked great straight out of the box but I did insert disk for drivers "just in case" and did run into a small problem when windows said installation failed but then Vista went right out to the internet and found the correct drivers and smooth sailing from then on. Now I can come and go from my desk with my laptop without having to plug & unplug everything each time ... just 1 vga/usb combo cord. Oh ... it IS vista 64 bit compatible and has it's own power supply. Glad I bought when I did, I see price has jumped almost 20.00 from what I paid just 10 days ago ... but it is definitely worth it!!!!!

Creative Desktop Wireless 9000 Pro - Keyboard - Wireless - Mouse - USB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you do serious typing for a living like me, this is NOT the keyboard for you. For some bizarre reason the Creative people decided to put two "\" (forward slash) keys on this keyboard. I barely used the one to begin with. To make matters worse, this redundant key is located immediately to the left of the letter "Z", which is traditionally where the shift key should be and the shift key is now two keys away from "Z". I typed one document with this keyboard and I hit that "\" key just about every time I wanted to hit the shift key. To accommodate this extra key, they shrunk the left shift key to half it's usual size and my left pinkie had to do an uncomfortable stretch to hit this shift key in it's nonstandard location. The other "\" key, which is usually located either above the enter key or next to the backspace key is now placed between the enter key and the apostrophe key on the "home row". And again, I am hitting that "\" key with my right pinkie instead of the enter key, which again, is an extra distance/stretch of my pinkie away.
The mouse also has a design problem. It has a "back" button on the left side of the mouse and a "forward" button on the right side. These buttons are located midway between the front and back of the mouse and almost flush with the top of the mouse. So when I grab the mouse to move it around I found myself accidentally pressing the "forward" button a lot and had to hold the mouse in an uncomfortable/unnatural way in order to avoid hitting that button.
It is unfortunate that they chose to play fast and loose with the standard QWERTY lay out as the ability to charge the batteries without taking them out of the keyboard or mouse is a nice feature. If you are a hunt and peck typist, maybe you can live with the changes, but if you going for speed and type for a living, this keyboard will frustrate you immensely.
Also, a personal pet peeve which is common to most wireless keyboards: The "cap lock", "number lock" and "scroll lock" indicators are located on the receiver and not on the keyboard. Are we suppose to glance 5 or 10 feet way everytime we want to see these things?

iConcepts Universal Wireless PDA Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the iConcepts so-called 'universal' wireless keyboard for my new Dell Axim X51v. These PDAs retail for +$500 bucks.
I was able to get an older driver to install using the ActiveSync software on my PC, but the keyboard never worked. I checked internal battery and it was good. It's possible the keyboards are being shipped defective, or they just don't work at all. Probably you should not buy online these keyboards but better to take a chance and purchase locally and get a warranty for a return.
I am not convinced that these ext. keyboards will work for the Dell PDAs.

Seiko Thumboard Keyboard for Handspring Visor Deluxe, Neo, Pro & Platinum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Alright, I have to admit that straight out of the box I thought I was never going to be able to use this thing! The keys seemed terribly small and my fingers aren't the most delicate things on this planet.
After a couple of days, I'm falling in love. This keyboard has a lot of advantages over other 'portable' keyboards.
Size: Truly portable. Comparing it my friend's Stowaway, this thing just takes the cake.
Location: If you don't know yet, you slip this over the bottom of your handheld (in my case Visor). It stays in place remarkably well. It's rounded sides and larger profile, makes typing easy because the handheld is easier to hold.
Construction: Yes, it's plastic, but it's well made plastic. Everything has clean finished edges. I flexed my in my hand and it creaked a little bit, but not like it was going to fall apart suddenly.
In conclusion, I give this tiny but powerful keyboard four stars. It would have earned the coveted five star rating if it's keys were just a smudge bigger, or spaced out a bit more. If you have small fingers and great fine motor skills, you'll be typing out page-long emails in no time.

Seiko-Austin's Thumboard keyboard provides the ideal PDA input alternative to the often awkward stylus pen. The QWERTY key layout makes it instantly recognizable and easy to use, perfect for those on the go. The keyboard connects directly to the handheld, and there's no need for a stand or flat surface to use it. An extended character set, menu commands, and software button shortcuts make your typing faster and more accurate. You can also turn on and access primary applications through the thumboard. The keyboard is compatible with Handspring Visor, Visor Deluxe, Visor Platinum, Visor Neo, and Visor Pro handhelds.

Logitech Cordless Desktop Keyboard, Mouse, and Stereo Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got a wireless keyboard, mouse, and wired speaker set for $15! and its also made by logitech..a great brand (imho). It a refub, and the box was in rough shape, but the item works great. I had to change the batteries and the keyboard and in the mouse, but for $15 it was worth it. The speakers don't sound the best, but there ins't any static/crackly noise, so they're good enough.
Everything in this package works great and worked the first time I installed the product. Would recommend to anyone wanting an inexpensive wireless setup.
