Review of PALM 3 Pack of Flexi Case for Treo 680 & 750

September 27, 2010

Out of the 3 skins, I am using the clear one. Its a shame that we have to buy all 3 in order to get the one I want. It fit my Treo 680 perfectly! It doesn’t interfere with my typing or anything. Its soft to touch. My only complaint is that the skin covers the ear piece so it kind of brings down the sound quality but you can still hear.

Review of Centon 128MB PC133/100 SDRAM DIMM Desktop Memory (128MBPC133)

September 27, 2010

I purchased this module at Circuit City when I purchased an E-machines T1220 1.2 GHz Celeron system.This allowed me to bump the memory up to 256 Mb.Installatiion of these memory modules is a snap and the Centon memory while PC133 is also compatible with PC100 and PC66 systems.I’ve just recently removed the memory (replaced with PNY 256 MB module) and installed it in a Dell 550 MHz PIII system without any problems.It was in the E-machines system for 3 months running without a problem.Other modules from other brands work as well and can be purchased just as cheaply without fiddling with a rebate.My rebate took 7 weeks to receive.Overall decent product.

Product Description
Upgrade your memory with one chip! You can diminish your wait time for loading, printing, and downloading files with this 128MB PC133 SDRAM Desktop Memory Chip. Unlike some modules it is compatible with different types of SDRAM such as PC66 or PC100.

Review of Macally GS350SUAB Hi-Speed eSATA/1394A/1394B/USB2.0 Storage Enclosure for 3.5inch SATA HDD

September 26, 2010

Out of the box, the enclosure looks great, easy to install a HD, but the weakness is the power supply.It ships with a 2A supply which is barely enough for todays drives.The result is the drive stops working after a while and you need to power-cycle the enclosure to get ti working again.This generally results in an OS error about disconnecting the device improperly and potential data loss.This was partially avoided by turning off the option in the OS to spin down hard disks when possible.However, after a few days of use it still failed to function.And you can tell the drive is not spinning when this happens.

There is a solution though! The Kinamax AD-LCD12 LCD Monitors 12V 6A 72W AC Adapter Power Supply can be used instead of the included PSU.This gives 6A to the enclosure.I haven’t had a problem since.So 4 to 4.5 stars for the enclosure itself, 1 star for the included PSU. You shouldn’t have to buy one separate, Macally.

    September 26, 2010

    THis product is simply amazing!!!! It is NOT meant to be used to carry your laptop around.It is simply “a shield” to protect your laptop from scratches when you are carrying the laptop in a backpack or laptop bag.The item issuperiorly designed.There is a soft cushion inside the neoprene case.ALso, since it is neoprene, it conforms to your laptop size if it is little bigger than the case.My Dell 700m fits perfectly in this case.

    Review of Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 (Silver)

    September 26, 2010

    I’ve been waiting for this keyboard since December.Microsoft has had problems in production and deadlines about this product.As of the day I write this, Microsoft’s website “Press Pass” still publishes an article saying this keyboard and mouse set will be released “January 2007.” That didn’t happen.But it is here now and I’m not too impressed, even though I’m satisfied.
    I was debating between getting this product and the Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard (these keyboards are media-centered keyboards, no numerical keypads in addition).I’ve used the diNovo Edge and I’ve liked it.I purchased this Microsoft product because it is both slightly cheaper and comes with a matching mouse.
    The diNovo Edge has a lithium Ion battery and a recharging station which looks nice but is impractical because it stands the keyboard on an edge so that it cannot be used while charging (looks cool).This 7000 keyboard, however, is powered by 4 AA batteries, but this keyboard is just as slim and sleek as the diNovo keyboard.On another Microsoft webpage that profiles hardware like this, it is advertised that 4 AA batteries power this keyboard for “an average of over nine months.”What is weird (and almost unnecessary) is to make the mouse (unlike the keyboard) come with a recharging base.It is as if Microsoft started with the newer (yet to be released) 8000 model of this keyboard/mouse set (which is going to cost more) and just started subtracting features.For example, whereas the diNovo and the 8000 model of this product have light-up features for dark room usage, this 7000 model does not.Also, the 800 comes with a hub that both the mouse and keyboard use instead of just a hub for the mouse (as in the 7000).
    For me, I was disappointed when I started typing on this 7000 model keyboard because the key-depression sounds are as loud as my laptop or PC (some people however like a stronger physical and audible feedback from the keys as they type).diNovo has soft key-depression, and even though this 7000 model wasn’t advertised with soft keys I hoped it was a basic feature.The Bluetooth technology works as expected.My favorite feature is the keyless Function buttons which can be redefined for your specific shortcuts.My mouse came with differing pressure levels for the right and left clicks and this has been irritating (the left-click is very sensitive).
    In sum: the 7000 keyboard has a cheaper feel than the diNovo (mine is made of hard plastic and the diNovo is partly made of fiberglass); but I shook around this keyboard and pressed on its sides fairly hard: it’s pretty durable.This is currently one of the most sophisticated keyboards on the market and it’s the most Vista-ready keyboard currently.It’s sleek, ergonomic, and rests no higher than your watch on the table.I’m satisfied.

    Product Description
    The Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 includes a thin Keyboard with curve design and High Definition Laser Mouse for precise performance.

    Review of APC P1T 120V Portable Surge Protector

    September 26, 2010

    I bought one of these after seeing them in the APC catalog.

    It’s a handy thing: LEDs let you know if the ground is working
    as well as if the surge arrest is functioning.

    The only thing that could be improved is that it’s a Wart and
    takes up about as much space as a transformer; this becomes
    an issue if sharing a plug with someone else at the coffee
    shop.

    APC makes good stuff and the $25k warranty is nice as well.
