Customer Review: Effecient and Simple
I recently purchased this DVD Recorder as a second to an existing more expensive JVC model. The Samsung was easy to setup straight from the box and within minutes I had all the TV channels and my CCTV system linked in and working. Recording to HDD is easy although the system does not support an OverWrite feature on repeat (Daily/Weekly) recordings which is a shame. Navigation around titles is easy once you have found the ANYKEY (seriously!) and the copy to DVD is both quick and easy to operate. Editing facilities are basic but again easy to use and playback quality is good. If you need a good value for money machine with easy to use basic features or a second machine for basic duties look no further than the Samsung.

Customer Review: Works well for Dell 1720 Notebook
We bought this for an Inspiron 1720 with an upgraded battery and the dimensions said they’d fit, so we ordered it based on the measured laptop. The laptop fits very snugly in the case from bottom to top - side to side’s fine - and it’s well constructed with solid zippers. The one thing I would suggest is to confirm the laptop dimensions INCLUDING the battery extending out the back before purchasing (for any case on the market). Other than that, remember it’s a sleeve, not a bag with any extra pockets (there aren’t any on this bag) so if say, we were to disconnect the battery to make it fit in the sleeve, the battery would have to be packed along with the computer and not in a different pocket. There’s plenty of cushion to protect the computer and the handles are well built. It’s a great bag for the price and it was just what we were looking for, but if I was to recommend anything, it would be to make the dimension a little taller.

Customer Review: Great Sleeve, But Colors Are Not True
I use this for my Dell D630 laptop. The most important stuff works well: there are two zippers and they are sturdy. Also, the zippers can open on the long end, so I can pull my laptop out of my backpack without pulling out the sleeve. This also means it is easy to return and zip away. I purchased the ‘chocolate’ version and I can tell you right now that the colors shown on these pages make it appear much richer brown than it actually is. It is sort of a drab brown, and not a head turner. (If a laptop sleeve could turn heads.) In addition, when I gave the small Belkin rubber tag a little pull it tore. I shouldn’t have pulled it, but then again, i didn’t pull it very hard. Overall, I am satisfied with the product. The neoprene and zipepr materials are of good quality. Just be wary of the color representation here.
Customer Review: Quiet okay
First, the color does not look like the screen. It’s ivory or dark cream instead of white you see on the screen. And it smells and it stays more a week. Everything else is okay. It fits my 14 inch Acer laptop and the charger.

HP Pavilion DV9650US 17″ Entertainment Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5250, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium)
Balance your need for productivity with great multimedia performance with the HP Pavilion dv9640us notebook PC, which features an amazingly bright, widescreen 17-inch BrightView display–perfect for multitasking between document windows and watching movies in their native aspect ratio. Enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included remote control, which stores conveniently in the ExpressCard slot. It offers a cool, modern look with a durable, high-gloss piano black finish and wavy inlaid design inspired by Zen rock gardens as well as a subtle blue backlit media control panel that responds to the slightest touch. It also has an integrated 1.3-megapixel WebCam (and integrated microphone), enabling easy video conferencing via VoIP and video IM chats.

This notebook is powered by the 1.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor, which offers a 20 percent performance boost over its predecessor while using 28 percent less power–so you get the benefit of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility. It includes Intel’s 4965 AGN wireless LAN, which will connect to draft 802.11n routers and offers compatibility with 802.11a/b/g networks as well. You can easily burn your home video productions to DVD for friends and family with the dual-layer, multi-format DVD/CD burner, which also includes LightScribe technology for personalized silkscreen-quality, laser-etched CD/DVD labels. Other hardware features include dual 160 GB hard drives (for 320 GB of capacity), 2 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), an integrated NVidia GeForce 8600M video/graphics card with 1023 MB of shared video RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI A/V port, and multi-format memory card reader.

This laptop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you’ll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

  • Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor has a 1.5 GHz processor speed, fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

    The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It’s optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications–such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications–while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:

    • Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
    • Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
    • Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
    • Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.

  • Hard Drive: This system offers a total of 320 GB of hard disk drive space from two 160 GB drives (5400 RPM). These Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives also quicken the pace with a higher speed transfer of data–akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
  • Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (2 x 1024 MB DDR2) will satisfy many users, but this notebook’s two DIMM slots have a maximum 4 GB RAM capacity–perfect for high-end video editing and 3-D gaming. The additional capacity helps boost the amount of available video RAM that’s shared with this notebook’s video card.
  • DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.

    This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label–anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.

  • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).

Screen, Video & Audio
The 17-inch WXGA+ high-definition BrightView widescreen (1440 x 900 resolution) provides a 45 percent larger picture for DVD movies than a 15-inch screen. Video is powered by the NVidia GeForce 8600M graphics card, which provides up to 1023 MB of available RAM/video memory (256 MB dedicated RAM) for unmatched HD video performance on a notebook PC. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), it lets you rip through all of today’s most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. Experience real-time photo editing, or immerse yourself in the most complex, true-to-life gaming environments.

The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You’ll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965 AGN LAN chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It’s also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range–great for closed office environments). You also get super-fast wired connectivity, with a Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000).

It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (though no standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a good offering of connectivity options:

  • 4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals–from digital cameras to MP3 players
  • 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
  • 1 HDMI output (for connecting to a compatible HDTV or home theater receiver for uncompressed digital audio and video via a single cable)
  • Analog video out: 1 VGA monitor and 1 S-Video TV
  • 1 ExpressCard 54/34
  • 2 headphone jacks, 1 microphone jack
  • 1 notebook expansion port 3 (for use with the HP xb3000 Expansion Base or the HP Notebook QuickDock)
  • 1 consumer IR (infrared)
  • 5-in-1 memory card reader (Secure Digital, MultiMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)
  • Integrated 56K modem (V.90)

Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family’s use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

Customer Review: A mixed bag
I purchased this laptop for general family use in a household with several desktop computers. It’s use is wide spectrum - applications, photo editing, DVD play, music encoding and “medium grade” gaming (World of Warcraft). I doubt that I would buy the same model again, even if it were still being sold as an Amazon Prime item. The primary drawback to this machine is the poor sound quality that emanates from the speakers. My previous laptop, a Toshiba Satellite, had great sound. To make matters worse, headphones suffer from a “hum” that obviously comes from inadequately shielded circuitry within the case. I don’t know if this comes from the sound chip, the case assembly or just a defective port, but it renders headphones almost unusable. These are the most significant drawbacks, and unfortunately for a machine used mostly for games, music and DVD’s, they matter a lot. The display is bright and sharp, but suffers from having an extremely narrow viewing angle. If you set the screen to a good angle for a moving picture image, then simply lean back in your chair, you have to adjust the angle again. The nVidia graphics card does a good job with World of Warcraft and Mechwarrior 4. World of Warcraft at 1440×900 run smoothly at 50fps (frames per second); I am actually quite pleased with the performance here. I have no idea how it would handle newer games with higher graphics requirements. The keyboard is quite good for a laptop; on desktops I use an ergonomic keyboard, but I am surprised by the ease of typing on this unit. The much-discussed small right shift key seems a non-issue to me, but may affect hardcore touch typists. The touchpad works very well for a touchpad, but I installed an optical mouse quickly. One reviewer talked about not testing the HD DVD feature. That’s good, as this laptop doesn’t come with HD DVD, or at least it doesn’t anymore. It has a standard CD/DVD burner. One feature is that the drive does have LightScribe technology. That means with special media you can burn labels onto the disks. I like the LightScribe feature, although it is very slow (about three to 30 minutes to burn a label). The wireless is good, connecting well with my existing 801.11g network, and promising compatibility should I (when I) upgrade to 801.11n. No Bluetooth, though, which was a disappointment. The media player controls are nice to look at (bright blue LED) but being integrated with a smooth plastic cover not as nice to use. I would have liked something with at least a little tactile feedback, and I have to rub the volume control repeatedly to get the sound turned up or down enough. The software package is unimpressive. I added a wide variety of open source and freeware for my personal use, although I do use the enclosed Roxio Media Creator Basic to burn disks. If you like LightScribe, Roxio bundles with SureThing CD labeler which can be upgraded for something silly, like $12. That was a good deal. To my surprise I like Vista quite a lot. There have been no hardware conflicts that I have found with the machine and Vista. I assume all the drivers have been tested enough to work well. Vista looks good and works well; folks, it’s just another version of Windows, for better or worse. But it isn’t super-fantastic, and it isn’t horrible. It’s Windows. To be frank, the machine has a lot of video features I don’t use yet and can’t critique. It comes with a clever little remote control that hides in a PC card slot when not in use; it also shipped with a full size remote if you want to use this laptop’s TV Tuner. Look to other reviews for this information. For the price, this notebook had a lot going for it - 2GB of RAM, the hard drive space, the big screen. But with the poor speaker sound and defective headphone hardware I knocked off a star. For the skimpy software bundle and miscellaneous design flaws, as well as the screen angle issues, knock off another star. I’m not going to return it, but like I said, I wouldn’t buy it again.

Customer Review: I expected that the bag to be of a bluish colour.
The displayed colour of the bag is misleading. I expected it to be a bluish colour but instead it is black (or very dark grey). I was specifically looking for a coloured bag. Now I am restarting the search for one elsewhere.

Well, i may not have applied this product correctly, but it sure isn’t easy to do so, and no matter how hard you try your’e sure to get air bubbles and invisble fibres stuck under the film. The instructions are not as easy and I get alot of contrast now. I also found out after buying this that there are other similar products that can get you more sheets for less.

Add a zesty style to your mobile computing with the stunning good looks of the sangria red Sony VAIO VGN-CR220E/L notebook PC, which offers unique eye-catching features, impressive attention-to-detail, and an amazingly thin and light profile. Aside from its jaw-dropping good looks, it’s also an entertainment powerhouse. The instant AV Mode feature enables you to start watching a DVD or listening to music with the push of a single button–without having to boot up the system–and the convenient, built-in multimedia control buttons also let you control all playback functions.

This notebook is powered by the 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor, which offers a top-of-the-line 800 MHz front-side bus speed and 2 MB L2 cache. The Core 2 Duo processor provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance, as well as excellent battery management. It also includes Intel’s 4965 AGN wireless LAN, which will connect to draft 802.11n routers and offers compatibility with 802.11a/b/g networks as well. A built-in 1.3 megapixel digital web camera lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. Other features include a bright 14.1-inch XBRITE-ECO screen, 200 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum capacity), multi-format/dual-layer DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard 34 slot, and both Memory Stick and SD memory cart slots.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you’ll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

  • Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed, super-fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance.

It’s optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications–such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications–while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:

    • Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.

  • Hard Drive: The 200 GB Serial ATA hard drive provides more than enough capacity for storing a large audio and video library, as well as extra space required for video editing. However its 4200 RPM speed is a bit slower than current standard hard drives. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data–akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
  • Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (2 x 1024 MB DDR2) will satisfy many users, but this notebook’s two DIMM slots have a maximum 4 GB RAM capacity–perfect for high-end video editing and 3-D gaming. It also offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
  • DVD/CD Drive: The dual-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data–great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 4x for DVD+R DL, 4x for DVD-R DL, 8x for both single layer DVD+R/-R, 8x for single layer DVD+RW, 6x for single layer DVD-RW, 5x for DVD-RAM, and 24x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.
  • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 82-key keyboard (2mm stroke and 19.05mm pitch) and electro-static two-button touchpad. Playback controls include play/pause, stop, forward, rewind, AV mode, mute, volume +/-, capture, and display off.

Screen, Video & Audio
You’ll enjoy razor-sharp graphics and widescreen movies with the 14.1-inch WXGA high-definition screen, with its 1280 x 800-pixel resolution. The XBRITE-ECO technology delivers brilliant colors and stunning clarity with efficient power usage, and it features an anti-reflective coating to minimize reflection and ensure a beautifully clear image from any viewing angle.

Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, which uses shared video memory (up to 358 MB allocated from the system memory) and provides Windows Vista Aero interface support and enhanced 3-D graphics performance–delivering over 2x scores on 3-DMark 06. Intel Clear Video Technology provides outstanding video playback with sharper image quality, increased clarity, and customizable color controls. It also enables enhanced visual quality of interlaced content on progressive displays.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with the integrated quad-mode Intel Wireless 4965AGN Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It’s also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range–great for closed office environments).
