Key Features :

* 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 processor with Centrino 2 for excellent multi-tasking.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
With its integrated Draft-N Wi-Fi networking capabilities, this laptop provides up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range using 802.11n-compatible routers as you would with 802.11g networks. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found at Wi-Fi hotspots and in older home routers) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). This notebook also provides Gigabit (10/100/1000) Ethernet networking.
It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard card slot (replacing the PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK :
This laptop had all the configurations I was looking for at the same price. My only complaint is that I wish it had more usb ports and built in blue tooth. But I added a usb blue tooth dongle and it works fine (other than tying up one of my limited usb ports). The biggest feature for me was that it came standard with a 12 cell battery. Lifts up the back just slightly but actually makes the unit easier to type on because of the angle.

Customer Feedback :
I just got this great, new camera from Nikon and it has been just great. This falls into the category of "what will they think of next?" The camera itself is a solid performer for a point and shoot with a slightly better than average 5x zoom which is great for a point & shoot model. Of course, the projector is the "WOW!" factor. No more squeezing around the display on the back to show your friends the photos. The projector is a great way to share your images. The image quality is not as high as the LCD display, but fine for quick showings.
As an artist, I will use this camera to shoot new subjects, then project them onto a canvas so I can transfer the compositions into a painting.

Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphone

2009-11-12T00:54:00.003+05:30

Tune out the external environment and tune into your own private concert experience anytime, anywhere with the Image S4. These noise-isolating in-ear headphones deliver dynamic sound and unequaled comfort for a price that’s easy on the wallet. The enhanced bass and superior noise isolation ensure clean, professional sound, while the innovative eartip design and angled nozzles provide a comfortable fit for long-term wear. Strain-relief cord design makes the Image S4 as perfect for the gym as it is for the street.
These reasonably priced, high-performance earphones go above and beyond what you’d expect from the stock earbuds that come with your MP3 player or music phone. In fact, you’ll find Klipsch headphones are far superior to other brands—delivering unequaled comfort, noise isolation, musical accuracy and bass. Furthermore, Klipsch has managed to take its decades of research and development experience to value engineer the Image S4, while staying true to its audiophile heritage.

Technical Details :
* Exclusive Oval Ear Tips for long term comfort and excellent seal.
* Superior Bass Response from dual magnet micro speaker and oval ear tip seal.
* Stainless Steel carrying case with headphone organization.
* Three sizes of oval ear tips(Small, Medium and Large) to achieve the perfect fit.
* Piano black finish with chrome accents.

HIGHLIGHTS :
- Amazing Comfort and Fit.
- Premium Sound.
- Added Frills.

Positives:
1) Price/Sound Quality Ratio. Great full sound with excellent bass, but not too deep like the Bose. Great mid and high level's excellent for all different types of music.
2) Comfort: They come with a case and several different sizes of in ear plastic. The Bose headphones had plastic that came off all the time and if you lost them, you would have to find replacements. These will not come off unless you want them too. They feel good in your ear and comfortable.
3) Noise Isolation: Indeed these do an excellent job of isolating outside noise based upon the precise fit of the ear pieces.
4) Cord length: The cord is the perfect length for me. Not too long, not too short. The Bose headphones have a cord that is just too long and cumbersome.

Negatives:
1) Not really a true negative, but if you are not looking for a sound isolating headphone, do not purchase these. I walk the dog outside quite a bit and have a hard time hearing things around me like traffic or trail runners, which at times can be dangerous. Just something to think about.

Technical Details :
* Extremely small and lightweight.
* Powerful, bass-driven stereo sound.
* Frequency response of 18 Hz- 21 kHz.
* Manufacturer's 2 year warranty.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK :
Sennheiser says 'excellent', but surely you would want a more unbiased opinion. The noise attenuation is certainly good enough. I have tried them in the Athens Underground Railway (Metro). It is so noisy when the train moves, that with common closed headphones, it is impossible to hear the music at a volume that won't impair your hearing. With the CX-300 a lot of the noise is shut out, so you can enjoy your music at a reasonable volume. Another measure of comparison is that you can't hear a person that is near you speak, unless they shout. That is what these headphones were meant to do.
These headphones don't silence everything. If you want that you can try 'active noise reduction' headphones (Bose, Sennheiser, AKG), but the active noise reduction process introduces artificial artifacts into the sound and the headphone are a bit expensive.

Data Robotics Drobo 4-Bay USB 2.0/FireWire 800 SATA Storage Array DR04DD10

2009-11-09T01:23:00.003+05:30

The safe, expandable Drobo storage solution protects your data against a hard drive crash, yet can expand dynamically at any time in just seconds. With nothing to configure or manage, Drobo is now the ideal solution for primary storage as well as backup.
It really is as simple as putting the drives in, install the software, and begin using it. I first saw this at Macworld in January 2008, but held out for the firewire version. I am using on a mixed environment network with no compatibility problems. It is very fast, and very easy. I am using mine for all of my videos streamed to our TVs. IT ABSOLUTELY WORKS WONDERFULLY! It can simultaniously stream mp4 videos to 2 TVs while having data copied to it.... all without any hiccups. That is impressive for a device like this.
Before purchasing this check out the drobolator (http://www.drobo.com/Products/drobolator.html). This is a calculator that shows how the drobo will address the hard drives you put into it. You will see exactly how much storage will be used for overhead, protection, future growth and available to use. If people were familiar with this page alone, it could help solve a large portion of the drobo's misconception.

It boasts outstanding efficiency by utilizing a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver coupled to Klipsch's new round MicroTractrix horn. This magnetically shielded speaker also employs an advanced 4-inch woofer to achieve remarkable sonic detail. The woofer is a long-throw unit powered by a unique neodymium motor structure. The cerametallic cone is lightweight with excellent rigidity, which dramatically reduces any resonance. As a result, the RSX-4 is capable of robust bass extending low enough for comfortable operation with today's built-in A/V preamp/processor and receiver crossovers.

The speaker's gracefully contoured, high-rigidity enclosure is small enough to fit wherever you need it to go. An integrated ball-joint pedestal stand with bottom keyholes makes it easy to place the RSX-4 on any convenient surface (walls included) and direct its sound into the listening area. The satellite's magnetic grille easily snaps into place over its cast-aluminum front baffle, while sturdy five-way binding posts ensure secure connection to any type of cable.

Technical Details :
* High sensitivity.
* MicroTractrix Horn tweeter for clean, detailed highs.
* Ball-joint pedestal stand with keyholes allows easy placement.
* Integrates well with all Klipsch powered subwoofers.
* Magnetically shielded drivers to prevent video interference.

Customer Feedback :
These speakers are perfect when you match them up with their other brothers in the same series, I have 3's and 4's as well as the towers and the 12 inch powered sub. I would advise anyone to buy these speakers.They arrived promptly, and were securely packaged. Klipsch makes a great product, and these speakers are no exception. I am using them as surround sound speakers, and the quality is excellent. I consider myself an audiophile, and am quite happy with these. Bonus for me: the grills attach magnetically, so no need to have to pry off the grills!

TECHNICS SL-1200MK2 Turntable

2009-10-21T14:47:00.004+05:30

Remember what DJs used in the club before the 1200s? Nobody else does either. That's because this turntable's heavy-duty design, vibration-resistant construction, and mechanical precision make a lot of what those early DJs did possible. This deck was the first to feature a Direct Drive motor, quartz movement for total accuracy, adjustable tone arm weights, anti-skate control, a pop-up target light and a sliding pitch control. With each new improvement, the Technics turntable has become a thing of beauty. From the community centers at the beginning of the disco era to the clubs of today, the Technics SL1200MK2 sets the standard again, from a tradition that the series has championed for over 30 years.

Technical Details :
* Quartz direct-drive.
* Sliding pitch control with strobe.
* Detachable headshell.
* Accepts standard-mount cartridges.
* Designed for professional and DJ applications.

Customer Feedback :
Occasionally a piece of equipment comes along that is so well designed.The Technics is simply the best turntable you can get period for a grand or under. Yes it became popular as a DJ table, but it was originally designed as a professional level audiophile home turntable. I've been very impressed not only with its unparalleled build quality, but especially with it's great sound quality as well as its perfectly accurate speed and pitch control.

Dualit 4-Slice Toaster, Charcoal

2009-10-21T14:32:00.003+05:30

The Dualit toaster is outstanding in the field, not just for its industrial retro good looks, but also for its performance. It has ProHeat elements and wide slots capable of handling very thick slices, yet the adjustable wire guards will accommodate themselves to thinner bread too. The timer knob allows you to select light, medium, or dark toast and at the end of the cycle the toast remains in the slots until you eject it with the knob - this keeps the toast warm, but because the unit shuts off at the end of the cycle your toast won't be burnt. Sturdy metal housing and heating elements made from the finest quality clear mica and 80/20 nickel chrome are good indicators that this is a toaster that will stand the test of time. In fact the Dualit toaster was designed for commercial use in English hotels and restaurants where the toaster may be in continual use for 8 hours, mandating that the heating elements be of heavy construction.

Product Features :
* Model 40421.
* Stainless steel and enameled steel housing.
* 13" L x 8" W x 8 1/2" H; Cord 25" L.
* 4 Wide slots.
* Timer knob with end of cycle ringer and auto shut off.

Engineered in England and hand-assembled to the last detail, the Dualit 4-slice toaster is that ideal accomplishment--a hardworking kitchen appliance with an elegant presence. Its curvy retro shape is undeniably handsome and its structural components withstand the rigors of a high-octane kitchen. In fact, the toaster can output up to 130 slices per hour, should the entire neighborhood ever depend on you for breakfast or tea.

The key to Dualit's exceptionally even browning is the toaster's system of patented ProHeat elements, a series of flat bars behind a smooth, transparent coating. The result is an efficient, durable design, suitable for everything from brioche to sandwiches. The elements are encased by a rugged, stainless-steel housing. Each slot measures 28 mm wide and is extra deep to allow the use of the Dualit sandwich cage (sold separately). One adjustable leg accommodates uneven surfaces and rubberized feet protect your counter top.
The Dualit toaster has manually operated functions and is designed for people who like to engage with their appliances. Operation is simple but rewarding. A rocker switch selects 2- or 4-slice toasting, and a 4-minute timer knob lets you fine-tune browning time. Instead of a pop-up function that can prematurely cool toast, the unit comes with an ejector knob that you raise when you're ready for it. For smaller households or busy kitchens, Dualit also makes 2- and 3-slice models. All Dualit toasters come with a one-year warranty.

Customer Feedback :
At last, a toaster that toasts...this is by far the best toaster I have ever had. All the other toasters are made in China, and do a sub par job....This is an old fashioned toaster that you actually set the timer on....up to 3 and a half minutes....both sides are done to perfection....I'm in toast heaven...

Gripmaster Hand Exerciser Black, Heavy Tension (9-Pounds per Finger)

2009-10-15T21:36:00.004+05:30

Isolating each finger so it can be exercised individually, the patented Gripmaster strengthens hands, wrist, and forearm with spring-loaded piston technology while ensuring the palm doesn't slip from a molded grip. This model offers heavy tension (nine pounds per finger) and is recommended for men for extra-strong hands. Sturdy and highly durable, the Gripmaster easily fits in pocket or purse, enabling hand exercise anytime, anywhere.
A few daily workouts with the Gripmaster Pro and you'll enjoy better control of a baseball/softball bat, tennis racquet, or golf club, with each finger working in seamless unity with the others. You'll also find a ton of other uses for the Gripmaster Pro, including playing guitar or violin, rock climbing, bowling, target shooting, martial arts, yoga, or even relieving stress while clicking a mouse or gaming for hours on end.

Product Features :
* Strengthen weaker fingers for superior hitting, throwing, and fielding.
* 9 pounds of tension per finger.
* Challenges each finger individually using patented spring-loaded finger piston technology.
* Greatly improves hand, wrist, and forearm strength.
* Includes complete exercise program.

Exercising with the Gripmaster is the most efficient and effective way to maintain the health and conditioning of the hand. It's the ideal way to maintain the suppleness and flexibility of the hand to prevent injury. Each finger of the hand is powered by a completely separate system of muscles and tendons located in the hand, wrist, and forearm. The ability to control the ball or control the bat, racquet, or club all starts with the hands. Your hand is really five separate systems which work in seamless unity. The only way to develop superior strength, endurance, and coordination in your hands is to challenge and develop each finger individually. Once you exercise with Gripmaster you'll notice a difference almost immediately.

Customer Feedback :
The Gripmaster Exercisers are different from conventional grips in that you can either work your entire hand at once, or each finger individually (great for guitar players, I've heard!). One side features four small levers, each with its own spring, that can be squeezed together or one at a time. The plastic on the flip side is molded together so that you can work your whole hand as one unit. The black rubber cushion is removable, and you can place it on either side of the grip. It's an awesome idea, and allows for maximum versatility!

-Price. It is, however, easily worth every penny if you have the dough to drop.

Customer Feedback :
I recenty got a inexpensive 19" HDTV which has decent enough video quality but it burdened with the WORST sound I've heard on a TV. Tinny sounding speakers with little volume. But there was a headphone jack on the TV. With headphones, the TV sounded excellent. My computer speakers were connected with a headphone jack... They worked just fine on the TV. I looked for powered 2.1 computer speaker systems on Amazon and was delighted to find many choices under $40. The best value for the money seemed to be this Logitech and the cheap TV now has excellent sound.

Customer Feedback :
I recently upgraded my old Dell computer to Vista and needed to add a wireless card to it as it was going to be moved away from the main router. This card seemed to have good reviews although I wasn't sure if it worked with Vista. But installation was fast and easy, the card was recognized and I was connected to my wifi router in no time at all. I liked that this had a little antennae that you could move up to the top of your desk to get a better signal, but the cord on it is pretty short and really only long enough for it to sit on top of the tower case. Which seems to work fine for me, I have a good strong steady signal and have had no problems at all with this card dropping connections, etc. Now if I could just get Vista to behave when it comes to networking, I'd be all set!

Cables To Go - 27141 - 3ft CAT6 550Mhz Snagless Patch Cable Blue

2009-10-13T21:17:00.002+05:30

With Cables To Go's Cat6 550 MHz Snagless Patch Cables you can stay ahead of the game with the use of this high-speed cabling to distribute data, voice and video. These cables will deliver stable performance to 550 MHz. Each cable comes UL-verified, and meets EIA/TIA Cat 6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1, draft 9 standards. These cables will handle bandwidth intensive applications up to 550 MHz and beyond and drastically reduce both impedance and structural return loss (SRL) as compared to standard 100 MHz wire! This is accomplished by bonding together each of the individual pairs, helping to maintain the twist-spacing throughout the line right up to your termination point. Constructed with high-quality wire and a shortened body plug will keep Near-end Crosstalk (NEXT) levels to a minimum. The molded, snag-free boot prevents unwanted cable snags during installation and provides strain-relief. Cables To Go Cat6 550 MHz Snagless Patch Cables are available in a variety of colors to easily color-code your network installation.

Customer Feedback :
For a CAT6 cable (as opposed to CAT5) it's inexpensive and it works. The rubber shield over the plastic release serves it's purpose but still allows for easy removal from a device.

Customer Feedback :
I bought this as I often give presentations to small groups and wanted a "portable TV" when traveling. The Samsung is much brighter, has sound, and can be bought from Amazon with its better customer service than Dell.
I used it to watch an entire movie with a group and they loved it. We projected it onto just the plain wall and the brightness was just fine with a lamp light turned on nearby. You won't be able to use it during broad daylight for a movie. The thing I love about it is that it's on full brightness all the time!
It's so refreshing to have a projector where you don't have to worry at all about conserving the bulb. It's a HUGE stress reliever. That's what you want in a portable projector, one that you can just pack and go and not worry about every time you use. The bulb will last the lifetime of the projector.
