LG VX8550 Chocolate Black Phone

I traded up (way up) from a Motorola V180 to this phone. So far, I love most things about it. The music player is pretty well made, and it is easy to load songs using a microSD card adapter for my computer. It would have been nice if they had included a USB cable (and made the audio port 3.5mm instead of 2.5), but it's not essential. Using video converter software, I can convert my own movies into 3GP files that I can watch on the phone. The speaker is excellent for playing music, and actually better than my laptop. The battery life is pretty short when using the music player, but overall lasts about 3 days on standby.

HP SA6I BATTERY BACKED CACHE

The 128MB BBWC Enabler is a transportable 128MB battery module increasing the total memory of the controller to 192MB for RAID, read cache, and BBWC. The transportability of the battery memory module protects the write cache data from unexpected power loss, system board failure, or controller board failure. Data retained in the write cache will be protected for up to 72 hours, allowing time to restore power, or transport the module to a functioning system board or array controller. The modular design of the battery memory module is transportable between the Smart Array 641 and Smart Array 642 controllers.128MB BBWC (Battery Backed Write Cache) Enabler allows the 641/642 controllers an option to add transportable BBWC for improved controller performance and increases the total controller memory to 192MB.

Sony VAIO VGX-TP1 Living Room PC

I bought this PC the day it came in and I really dont understand how can someone review any item without owning or using it just because its running with a new OS system and give it 2 out of 5 just becaus it has vista on it??? So here is reviwe from someone who has this item for more than 2 monts. First, it looks amazing, solid built and the Circular white shape gives it an edge above all other Multi Media PCs. Second, performance is solid and running window vista smoothly without any problems, third, you will have a verity of outputs, HDM,VGA,optical out and SV,AV for inputs for TV recording which works like a charm. I'm hooking it with the 70" Class Grand WEGA(tm) XBR(tm) series SXRD(tm) Rear Projection Full HD tv using HDMI through the Sony DG1000 Receiver and the Video(setting it at 720P) and Audio is just amazing. I got another one in my office hooked with the White LCD Samsung and it works smothly for all my office work.

Compaq Presario C504US 15.4" Notebook PC

I have owned one of these for about a month now. I have been pleasantly surprised by the computer so far. I wanted a basic notebook with a good size hard drive. This computer has a 100gb hard drive, which is quite spacious for one in this price range. I was a little bit leery about the Celeron M processir, but this one runs at 1.86 ghz, it seemed noticeably faster to me than some of the lower Celeron M computers I have tried out. The computer comes with 512 mb of memory. The person at the store advised me to add another 512 mb. Boy was he right on the money !! The difference in performance is significant, especially for the $60 the extra memory cost me. It makes the difference between Windows Vista Basic being rather pokey and having it run at what I consider an acceptable level.
The battery life is acceptable I think, but not spectacular. I've gotten just shy of 3 hours battery life with the battery supplied. The screen is nice and bright on this computer for one in this price range. And the sound is pretty acceptable thru the built-in speakers (it could be a bit louder, but sound quality is pretty good.) I think this laptop would be a good investment for a college student that doesn't want to pay an arm and a leg for a new laptop, or for someone on a limited budget. I am happy with mine, and I think it is a good value for the price.

Toshiba Satellite P205-S6297 17" Notebook PC

Use this in my wireless 802.11n home network. I had to update my router to take advantage of Toshiba's faster built-in wireless LAN and it was well worth it. Not only do I have a faster notebook but my desktop computer is faster as well. The Toshiba notebook has a big, bright and clear screen, a larger keyboard with an actual numeric keypad and Vista Home Premium OS, which I've had no problems with. Also I love the fingerprint reader because now I don't have to hassle with entering user id's and passwords! I do on-line trading so it was important for me to have a computer that can handle the constant stream of price data coming in and won't falter when I need to place or close a trade. So far this notebook hasn't skipped a beat (unlike my old notebook).

Sony mylo Personal Communicator COM-1 2.4" LCD

This little gadget is amazing and there is nothing out there that can compare. Yes there are tablets, but they don't have a keyboard. This is designed for instant messaging and music and it does that beautifully. If you want an internet tablet then go buy one, this is not your machine. I would give this a 5 out of 5 any day. AMAZING!
