Laptops/PCs/Apple

I reviewed the sibling to this (iP2000) last year, although this came out at the same time the media recommended to work with it’s CD/DVD printing capabilities has only just arrived.

Colour lasers used to be very expensive, now they can cost less than some not that complex mono lasers. The HP 2550 is certainly an entry level product.

120GB of external storage in a slim vertical case that also has two USB2 ports and even a couple of card drives built in.

It is slim, sleek and has a sexy look. However according to recent reports it could have an adverse effect on male fertility but let’s not think about such things instead look on this device as a mobile entertainment centre.

This unit will read and write 17 different card types, yes I said 17 and I must admit I did not even know there were 17 different card types.

Laserjets first arrived over twenty years ago, my first was a ‘2P’ with the P standing for personal. It’s strange how you remember your first laser printer.

A flat panels display is always the measurement stated, a monitor is normally at least an inch less than stated, also a flat panel will alway take up far less space.

Watching television programs on your computer monitor has never been easier.

The HP Laser first appeared over 20 years ago, how those who purchased an early offering would have loved what is inside this small box.

We all like a bargain especially at this time of year and this one sounded so good I checked the price twice and they even offer free delivery.

With the variety of card types on the market the easiest way is to have a card reader that will read all the range of card types.

An All-In-One has the big advantage of having a printer, scanner and copy machine taking up little more space than a printer alone.

It’s a printer, a scanner and a copier, more commonly called an All In One or a Multi Function unit. This is an inkjet offering that performs all the tasks above and best of all takes up little space.

It makes sense to have a range of Security products for the PC from one company. Perhaps even better to have them in a single integrated package.

Targus are a company more famous for there bags for notebooks but they also do some other items among these are rodents, here I am looking at two small offerings.

Need a closer look at images? Then a Microsoft piece of kit could provide the answer.

What is £69.95 + £69.95 the answer in this case is £99.95, not bad maths but the price for the two products purchased separately against being acquired in the same box.

This 21.3inch panel can be used either portrait or landscape and is easily big enough to display two pages of a Word document side by side. That however is only a small part of it’s abilities.

Having recently looked at a dedicated Photo Printer (Epson Picture Mate 4/11/04) here I give a good workout to another the HP Photosmart 375, this even has the ability to view images prior to printing.

If your are fed up with the unpredictable printing speed of an inkjet then a laser is the answer, however should you also need scanning and copying then you need a MFU.

Not a cry from a street vendor offering saucy postcards but the ability to print excellent borderless 15x10cm images without any wires apart from a mains lead.

I have used Paint Shop Pro for more years than I care to remember. It was initially a shareware program that did things others could not. Now umpteen versions later a new package called Studio.

Any all in one (multi function unit) has a huge thing in it’s favour it takes up little space. However for all the devices of this type I have seen I think this is the smallest.

Looking to upgrade your DVD drive capabilities then dual layer technology is the way to go.

Portable printers are always useful, a portable printer that runs on batteries very useful, a portable printer that runs on batteries and fits in your pocket, mega useful.

5.1 sound is almost becoming standard with a lot of PC’s having it onboard. However for those without it this offering from Terratec could well improve your sound output.

Although scanners have shrunk in size and weight, you would not normally expect to carry one in your pocket. Now you can.

This product came along at a very opportune time as a new version of my ‘current’ anti spam package had just brought out a new version, for me anyway it turned out to be unusable.

Want a copy of Microsoft Word, this is the cheapest legal way to acquire one. However you also get a whole raft of other new and very recent products on a total of five CD’s.

By no means cheap, but if you need a notebook 1.3kilos is extremely light, the Q25 fills that criteria and you get what are often called extras as standard.
