Review Garmin Nuvi 1340 4.3" Sat Nav with UK and Western Europe Maps

     
    First Sat Nav - No Worries
    This is the first sat nav I have ever bought, so I spent quite a bit of time reading reviews and talking to friends with sat navs.

    I've read some negative reviews about the nuvi 1340, but decided to take the plunge and so far - five days in - I haven't been disappointed.

    It is very easy to use. The screen is big and clear, the instructions concise...

    It costs £50 to update maps!
    I bought this in summer 2011. I visited Weymouth, which has a lot of new roads, and they weren't showing on the Garmin - it instructed me to turn left - but the road no longer existed. I have just been to Cardiff, and it sent me down bus lanes, and again up a road which is no longer there - John Lewis have built a store on it. So I bought the cable to connect to my PC,...

    Review Logic3 TX101 SoundStage - 5.1 Surround Sound Home Cinema Speaker - With FM Radio Cheap

     
    Very pleased!
    As various people on various pages have remarked - this does not deliver a true surround sound comparable to having speakers and leads all over the place - on the other hand, you don't have to have speakers and leads all over the place! As you'd expect, all the sound comes from in front of you.

    What it does deliver is an excellent quality, easily configurable...

    This product arrived in very good time and I set it up - very simple to do - with all leads required enclosed. I connected one optical cable to my V+ Box - and another directly to the TV. I also attached the aux output to connect to any in put like my MP3 player.

    The sound has been very disapponting. in 5.1 or 2.1 there is a constant high pitched background...

    The BacPac is just what's needed for GoPro users like me who need accurate framing and exposure (the GoPro has automatic exposure, so the amount of sky or backlight in the picture has a profound effect on how dark or light your picture is).

    LCD BacPac - great screen but DO NOT TRY AND CLEAN CASE
    The LCD BacPac is a great addition to the GoPro. It makes it a little heavier that can cause problems depending on how/where you have it mounted. It has made using our GoPro a lot easier and the ability to review video you've just shot is worthy of 5 stars alone.

    I expected quite a lot from this purchase.. perhaps I had used Widows too long. I don't think the laptop is better than a Windows machine, and I don't think Apple is better than Microsoft. I have been tempted to load Windows onto it, as quite a number of people have. I do like the size, and I like the keys. But I wish I had spent £1200 on a top Windows laptop instead. One...


    Great product
    Having been a recent convert to Apple with the iPad, I decided to buy the new Macbook Pro as my current laptop is laggy and slow. The Macbook is in a different league in terms of build quality, speed and ease of use.

    Pages and Keynote were easily and cheaply downloaded from the App Store and these are as user friendly as Word and Powerpoint. There were some...

    Review Cheap TomTom XXL Classic 5" Sat Nav with Western Europe Maps (22 Countries) by TomTom

     
    Great SatNav
    I've owned/used the TomTom XXL IQR for approximately just over a month & wish I'd purchased one sooner.
    Having been in the UK for 40 Years, I knew my way around quite well & never really felt the need to ever buy a SatNav.

    After purchasing a 32" Toshiba LCD TV, we discovered that sound was very poor. After researching available options, the Sharp HTSB250 soundbar is the perfect solution for our small room. Sits nicely in front of TV and offers dynamic, like suround sound. My only complaint is as with other users noted, could not use audio cable included, and had to purchase a 3.5mm male jack. Overall very satisfied and is priced reasonably........

    Cheap laptops New Apple Macbook Pro 17 inch Laptop (Intel Core i7 Quad Core 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 750GB HDD, Up to 7 hrs battery life)

    Best buy 2011
    Having already got an iMac from a couple of years back, it seemed like normal progression to update to a beefy Apple laptop. My mind was split between portability or power and I thought that by going for the 17 incher then the first would be compromised. Granted, it's much bigger than its smaller brothers, but actually, I think I've managed to get both.

    Easy to install. Sound is pretty good. SD doesn't list albums so all the tracks just follow each other. Worst of all if you put it on random it plays the same tracks it did last time it was on.
