Dell Inspiron Mini IM10-2865 10.1-Inch Promise Pink Netbook

A larger sibling to Dell's Inspiron Mini 9, the Inspiron Mini 10 in promise pink adds keyboard comfort and even more entertainment-friendly dimensions to the Inspiron Mini family. Like the Inspiron Mini 9 and Mini 12, the Mini 10 is a compact, easy-to-carry Internet companion that's ideal for teens, tweens, travelers and "Tweeters" to surf the Web, chat with friends (both via text and using the integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam), stream video and audiocontent, and upload on-the-go photos to blogs or social networking sites. Standard built-in Wi-Fi means quick and easy wireless internet access to hotspots in the home, on campus, in a local coffee shop, in the office or at a conference.



Super thin and ultra-portable, the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 weighs in at just 2.6 pounds.
The Inspiron Mini 10 features an intuitive Dell-developed custom home screen interface that is designed to make it easy to find what you're looking for. Intuitive icons link directly to groups of similar applications, like games, Web and entertainment, and favorite web links for quick access. Plus, the home screen can be personalized, putting your favorites front and center.

A bright 10.1-inch display is designed to be able to present web sites without a lot of left-right scrolling, and the 92-percent full-size keyboard is large and easy to navigate. An HDMI port also allows you to connect the Mini 10 to your HDTV for large-screen, high-def viewing. Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM (533 MHz; maximum capacity), integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, three USB ports, 3-in-1 memory card reader, and up to 3 hours of battery life.



Offering a range of bright color options, the Inspiron Mini 10 is a great travel companion.
It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop.

A Better Keyboard
You won't lose any flexibility with the Mini 10's keyboard. At 92 percent the size of a standard laptop, it's almost as if the Mini 10's keyboard is at full range. And with a multi-touch track pad, your fingers will have an easy time navigating. Plus, it's spill resistant, so you can rest assured if accidents happen.

Display and Audio
The Inspiron Mini 10 has a 10.1-inch LCD screen (1024 x 576; WSVGA) with TrueLife high-gloss/anti-reflective technology, which features a sharp contrast finish that's well suited to immersive 3D games and watching videos. Its widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio is designed to present websites without lots of left-right scrolling, as well as with a smoother line of sight. Expand your screen by connecting to an external monitor or TV using the HDMI port. This notebook has two speakers for stereo sound.

Spec Check
    1.3 GHz GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor
  • 160 GB hard drive
  • 1 GB RAM
  • 54g Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)
  • Windows XP Home
  • 3-cell battery
  • Up to 3 hours of battery life
  • Weighs 2.6 pounds
Power-Sipping Processor
Newly designed from the ground up, the Intel Atom Z520 uses a 45nm (nanometer) design structure with new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to conserve even more energy and give you more time away from the wall outlet. The Intel Atom Z520 provides a 1.3 GHz CPU speed with a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 512 KB L2 cache--which uses just 2 watts of power. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) It supports Intel's 64-bit computing architecture, which can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory with compatible 64-bit software, as well as Intel's Hyper-Threading technology for speedier multitasking.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. With the integrated Bluetooth connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones as well as use Bluetooth-enabled headsets for handsfree video chats. It comes with the following external connectors:

  • 3 USB 2.0 ports (1 powered) for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
  • 1 HDMI output (for connecting to a compatible HDTV or home theater receiver for uncompressed digital audio and video via a single cable)
  • Analog video output: None
  • 10/100 Fast Ethernet networking
  • 1 headphone (line-out) and 1 microphone (line-in)
  • 3-in-1 memory card reader compatible with Secure Digital (SD), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Multimedia Card (MMC), and Memory Stick

Customer Review: Not a bad computer.
Dell Inspiron Mini IM10-2861 10.1-Inch Alpine White Netbook. Got this for my daughter for her birthday. The free shipping was the worst. We have bought other things on Amazon with free shipping and have never had a problem. This took almost two weeks to get here! Besides that, this is a good computer for small things. You cant watch videos, but to check emails, etc. it's good. The touch pad is hard to use. If you are not expecting alot out of a laptop, buy this.

Philips-HTS3566D - Home theater system with iPod cradle - 5.1 channel

Indulge in an unbeatable home cinema experience with this system. Delivering incredible surround sound and clear pictures via HDMI 1080p upscaling, it also plays from virtually any type of disc and from USB drives and portable media players.
Customer Review: Good System for the Price
I didn't buy this through Amazon, but rather through my local membership-only retailer. That said, the price is roughly comparable and regardless, the system is REMARKABLE. The sound is clear, the volume LOUD, and the quality exceptional. The only things I would change with the system are thus: - Proprietary jacks are lame. I have an oddly shaped room, and the rear left speaker's wire was far FAR too short to reach to where I needed it too. I butt-spliced some 22-gauge wire into the cable and it works fine, but that I had to and didn't have the option to just use another cable wholesale was obnoxious. - All speakers save the central one have only a single hanging peg, and that is annoying if they hang anywhere in reach - even tapping them lightly can push them significantly off-center. A small nail hidden in the assembly screw-well resolved the issue, but isn't super clean. - Boot time is LOOOOONG, and sometimes when switching to USB-mode from anything other than Disc-mode it doesn't load correctly. Disc > USB almost always works, though, but it's a matter of waiting longer than I'd like. - Controls via the remote to the iPod dock are severely limited. Other that those nit-picks, the system is great. Well worth it for an entry-level system, and an excellent upgrade over the built-in speakers on my TV.
Customer Review: Why are we getting the lemons???
We purchased this home theater system right after Christmas. The first one arrived and we hooked it up and .... nothing. No sound whatsoever. Called Philips and they went through all the steps to make sure we had hooked it up right (which we had) and after about an hour they said they would send out another one. Second one arrived, hooked it up and the sound was great....but the DVD player wouldn't play. Called again. Went through everything again. Third one arrived about two weeks later. Hooked it up, sounded great, DVD player worked - happy right? Yes, for about one week and then nothing... no sound at all. Now the DVD player won't open so we can get our movie out! Are we just jinxed or is there something really wrong here? Also, now we have three systems sitting in our house and none of them work and we have to haul them to the post office to return them. Now what I want to know is .. Why would Philips send us out two more systems without us even having to return the ones we had? Makes me wonder if they get these calls all the time and are just throwing them out to people hoping they'll stick. Needless to say we're returning all of them and looking for something else.

32" LCD HDTV w/ Built-in DVD Player, 1366 x 768 Resolution, 500 cd/m2 Brightness, 12,000:1 Contrast Ratio, ATSC/NTSC/Clear QAM - 1 Tuner, XD Engine, 178 True Wide Viewing Angle, SRS TruSurroundXT, 3 HDMI with HDCP, include swivel stand
Customer Review: good, but DVD is noisy
great design, easy installation, quite good picture, but the DVD is disturbingly noisy when watching a movie. It can be heard despite the sound of the movie.
Customer Review: Great picture for price
I've had this TV for almost 4 months and am very happy with it. The Picture is great for the price, with very vibrant colors and contrasts. The blacks are not as dark as you can find on more expensive TVs, but are as good as you can find in this price range. The DVD is noisy, which is really unfortunate. The Speakers are ok, but nothing great. I'd highly recommend this TV if you are looking for a TV that you will output sound to a stereo receiver. I actually found this at a price less expensive than the model without the built-in DVD player! Also, the high number of HDMI and other inputs is really fantastic. I do not regret this purchase at all!

Toshiba REGZA 55ZV650U 55-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with ClearScan 240, Black

The ZV650 Series takes LCD TV to the next level of picture quality, design, and features. ClearScan 240 raises the bar for picture clarity with fast motion video, the Deep Lagoon design creates a new level of design elegance, and the long list of new features and next-gen connectivity are more than you could ever expect.
Customer Review: Investing in your entertainment
Got this at a great price. Free shipping. Ordered on Sun. Got it on Thursday. Best video ever. So sharp and clean, colors are brillant. Gaming on Xbox 360 fast and on the PS3, its the best gaming ever. Going to 1080p, is like going from 800x600 to 1920x1200. Its so much fun to watch tv in HD. And the bluray, is the most incredible imaging. I recommend this tv to anyone who is looking at HD. Easy to set up. One thing it doesn't have, is Picture in Picture. Otherwise, best tv I have seen yet. Sony hasn't even released their 240 hz tv's yet. Toshiba beat them on price and speed. Nate Stephens Kearney, Nebraska

Customer Review: It works and it is pretty cool!
Bought these so we could play movies and TV shows from the Computer directly on the TV without having to burn onto a CD. You need a converter cable if your computer doesn't have an RCA hook up and it took us an hour or two to figure out that we needed to upgrade the graphics card and put the right dual display settings on the monitor but once we figured it out, it worked perfectly - both audio and video. The picture loses a little quality and sometimes the size of the movie/TV show doesn't take up the whole TV screen but it is pretty cool to watch anything from the computer on any TV in the house in real time. It is instant gratification.
Customer Review: WiFi Savior!
I was using a 2.4Ghz transmitter/receiver but I had to turn off the transmitter every time a started my computer or I would be unable to connect to my WAN. The 5.8Ghz ended that frustration. I do have a 5.8Ghz cordless phone that occasionally switches channels and totally blocks the signal. Solution - pick up phone and hit channel button - much easier than turning off the transmitter and rebooting the computer.

Belkin Laptop Sling Bag (Jet/Cabernet)

The Belkin Laptop Sling Bag offers:
  • a small, light, and hip design that still has plenty of room for your laptop and essentials.
  • a fully padded compartment for your laptop., and a cell phone compartment on the strap.
  • a separate, removable pouch for power adapters and cables.


Slide your laptop into the padded interior. There's still plenty of room leftover! View larger.
With a unique design, the Belkin Laptop Sling Bag (Jet/Cabernet) protects your computer and offers a large storage capacity in a small and light bag. The Sling Bag is a traditional-style backpack for exceptional comfort but has extra features that make it geared for the mobile professional. A fully padded compartment can hold up to a 15.4-inch computer and keeps it isolated and safe from bumps and scratches. A separate, removable pouch holds power adapters and cables.

Belkin's Made-for-You organization provides a place for all of your essentials, including MP3 players, cell phones, pens, and business cards, as well as other accessories. The bag is made of a high-quality 100-percent polyester fabric that is durable and weatherproof, and features contrasting colors for an elegant look, and the strap and back panel use a breathable fabric that maintains comfort even when it gets hot.

The bag features a Quick Release shoulder strap, making it quick and easy to take off the bag. For added convenience, the shoulder strap features a built-in phone compartment. Attention to detail can be seen in the headphone cord grommet and the zippers that have molded, easy-to-grip pulls that match the color of the bag. The Belkin Laptop Sling Bag is backed by Belkin's Lifetime Warranty. The bag is available in two colors: jet/cabernet and chocolate/tourmaline.


Take your fun and work with you wherever you go. A smaller pouch for essentials also is included, and the back panel is made of breathable fabric.

Customer Review: Very functional bag
I bought this bag as an alternative to the traditional backpack because I wanted to be able to travel with a bag securely on my back with no hands needed. It is snug and comfortable to wear and holds my 17" MPB as well as a book, the power supply, and a few other items. There are plenty of pockets to put pens, business cards, change, cash, etc. There are a couple of things to know concerning the bag though. If you have a 17" MBP, the fit is quite tight and it *just* zippers around it. I don't have a problem with this. Also, if you have an iPhone, the pocket on the strap that goes in the front will not fit it. I use it for my ID or whatever else I need quick access to when traveling. I really love this bag. It's just big enough to hold the essentials and it's lightweight. Love all the pockets and compartments, as well as the included bag for accessories. It's a great buy!
Customer Review: Lightweight bag to protect your laptop
This is a great bag! Sturdy and well-padded, but light. It is very small, though - it holds little more than my 15-inch Mac and some papers or small notebooks. I actually appreciate this feature as it makes me carry only what I need, which is easier on my back. It has lots of pockets everywhere, which is also very useful. I think my only complaint is how long the strap is. I'm not a tiny person, but I have the strap pulled as tight as possible and it's still a bit big, plus I've had to rig it to keep the end of the strap from hanging down well past my hip. Overall it's a great bag and I'm happy with my purchase.

Customer Review: So-So
This item is OK. You have to wiggle the cord around for your computer to recognize its hooked up to the battery. The cord will lose its place easily, so you will have to make sure its in a good position. For around $20, its a lot cheaper than the DELL adapters, but the quality is a bit lower too.

Customer Review: Sleek, Stylish and Professional Creativity - GET IT!!!
I was looking for a new camera and this one was irresistible. I had a small Canon elf camera before and just wasn't getting the shots that had a WOW factor. After buying this camera and using at the zoo and the park I am very satisfied. Size This size is bigger than my elf but when you see the zoom lens expand it seems like a marvel. How do they pack this massive barrel in such a small camera? I showed my neighbor my new gadget and he was equally perplexed. How do they do it? Quality The feel is good with plenty of goods to have you going for months. The camera gives you a full line of features that make you feel like you are a professional. I took some pictures at the zoo of 6 kids. My wife told me the picture looks better than actually seeing them there. Now how is that possible I do not know but the color, contrast and skin tones are off the charts. Zoom The zoom is the ultimate feature of this camera. With a 12X optical and 48X digital you are in the driver's seat for some amazing photographs. I found that you rarely need more than 12X anyway. I was considering buying a 24X optical zoom camera that was much larger. After using the 12X I found that is about as much zoom as you want unless you are doing Moon Photography. Really, anything beyond 12X gets distorted from atmospheric conditions. If you take a picture of a landscape you will get a saturation of blue tones so the super ultra zooms are truly over kill in my opinion. Pros Zoom HD Video Battery Life Size Cons Flash-It is almost a deal buster-Pops up anytime the camera is on... Why?
Customer Review: Disappointed
Canon SX200 This is a wonderful camera and it should be easy to learn to use it but the instruction booklet stinks. First it is too small and the print much smaller than makes for easy reading. The pictures of the LCD are so dark I have to use a magnifier to see what the icons are. I have 20-20 vision so I suspect I'm not alone with my thoughts. Come on Canon, you make a fine camera but spend a few more bucks and make the booklet easier to read, esp. for the novice trying to improve his photo skills.

Customer Review: COOLPIX S60 DYNAMITE IN A SMALL PACKAGE!
The S60 is a smooth operator. The 3 1/2" touch screen works extremely well. Providing quick movement between multiple pictures displays. Its simple to change image or shooting modes and functions. This camera automatically adjust LCD for horizontal or verticle viewing and corrects pix for upright position. Now everyone can get the picture they usually miss. I recommend the S60 to anyone who wants fast sharp clear pictures anytime everytime.
Customer Review: Cool looks, lukewarm performance
I bought this camara for three reasons: the touch screen technology, the sleek design, and it wasn't as pricey is the comparative Sony. I love the sleek design of the Nikon and in my opinion, its one of the better looking slim camaras on the market. But the people at Nikon could have paid a little more attention to detail like the folks at Sony. For example, the power button is exposed, as opposed to the Sony's which has a gaurd so that you don't accidently turn it on/off. This isn't such a big deal, but when you go to places like a theme park, you don't want to worry about your camara accidently turning on inside the case, and running out of batteries (which happened a couple of times for ). It's someting you have to watch out for constantly, which is a bit annoying. Plus, instead of one single flash, the Nikon's is a series of flashes that always manage to blind people. As for the touch screen, its pretty cool, but like the on/off switch, you have to be really careful not to hit the wrong buttons, and its not like I have big oafy finers either. Now, for the most important aspect of any camara. Picture quality. When I first used it, the picture quality was so-so compared to my friends' Sonys and Canons. But after twinkling around with it (and actually reading the manual) I found out there were many different options to make the picture quality improve. After I discovered those options, the picture quality was just as good as any of the aforementioned brands. However, the Nikon seems to be overly complicated for no reason. For example, why not automatically take out red-eyes, or automatically adjust to the environment's lighting? You actually have to manually adjust those things yourself. For everday camara use, I think the Nikon is just a tad bit too complicated and comes with too many little annoyances, like the on/off button. The Sony may be pricier, and the Canon may not be as cool looking, but they both seem to be much more user friendly.

Customer Review: Sleek, Stylish and Professional Creativity - GET IT!!!
I was looking for a new camera and this one was irresistible. I had a small Canon elf camera before and just wasn't getting the shots that had a WOW factor. After buying this camera and using at the zoo and the park I am very satisfied. Size This size is bigger than my elf but when you see the zoom lens expand it seems like a marvel. How do they pack this massive barrel in such a small camera? I showed my neighbor my new gadget and he was equally perplexed. How do they do it? Quality The feel is good with plenty of goods to have you going for months. The camera gives you a full line of features that make you feel like you are a professional. I took some pictures at the zoo of 6 kids. My wife told me the picture looks better than actually seeing them there. Now how is that possible I do not know but the color, contrast and skin tones are off the charts. Zoom The zoom is the ultimate feature of this camera. With a 12X optical and 48X digital you are in the driver's seat for some amazing photographs. I found that you rarely need more than 12X anyway. I was considering buying a 24X optical zoom camera that was much larger. After using the 12X I found that is about as much zoom as you want unless you are doing Moon Photography. Really, anything beyond 12X gets distorted from atmospheric conditions. If you take a picture of a landscape you will get a saturation of blue tones so the super ultra zooms are truly over kill in my opinion. Pros Zoom HD Video Battery Life Size Cons Flash-It is almost a deal buster-Pops up anytime the camera is on... Why?
Customer Review: Disappointed
Canon SX200 This is a wonderful camera and it should be easy to learn to use it but the instruction booklet stinks. First it is too small and the print much smaller than makes for easy reading. The pictures of the LCD are so dark I have to use a magnifier to see what the icons are. I have 20-20 vision so I suspect I'm not alone with my thoughts. Come on Canon, you make a fine camera but spend a few more bucks and make the booklet easier to read, esp. for the novice trying to improve his photo skills.

Designed exclusively for Nikon digital SLR cameras capable of wide-angle photography, the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 lens is a powerful tool for landscape photography and other wide-angle applications. The lens offers an ultra-wide angle of view of 94.5 to 56.8 degrees, with three special low dispersion (SLD) glass elements and three aspherical lenses providing optimum image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The lens also incorporates a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) to ensure quiet, high-speed autofocusing in addition to full-time manual focusing.

Customer Review: Bought it for a trip, ended up keeping it.
I bought this lens specifically for a trip to Italy. Ancient cities like Venice tend to be pretty cramped, and it is sometimes impossible to get everything you want on the frame with a regular lens. At first, I had some trouble adjusting to the properties of a lens this wide, but I got some beautiful pictures that would have been impossible with another lens. I would recommend practicing with it before you take any important photos. The lens feels very solid and professional much more so than the lenses that come with most Nikon or Canon kits. The pictures are gorgeous (there is some distortion and vignetting, but nothing to complain about). My original intention was to sell the lens online after the trip, but I just like it too much.
Customer Review: Prepare to Relearn Photography
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras If you've never used an ultrawide lens before, you're in for a shock -- and a new challenge. Mount the Sigma (or any other ultrawide) on a DSLR, rack it out to 10-11mm, look through the viewfinder and see an entirely new perspective on the world that is totally different from what the human eye sees. Objects that are close to the camera appear much closer, and distant objects appear to be much farther away. You'll also notice that straight lines toward the edges of the frame bend, and this distortion changes dramatically as you point the camera up or down. It's a whole new world of photography, and making effective use of the ultrawide perspective takes some practice and getting used to. Regarding the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 specifically, it is arguably the most popular among several ultrawide choices available to Nikon and Canon users for several good reasons -- not the least of which is its low price (I recently purchased one from Amazon for my Nikon D90 for $479.99). Construction quality is excellent, particularly for a third party lens. There's nothing loose or sloppy about it, and it feels solid. I especially like the nonslip exterior finish of the zoom and focus rings, which are large and well-separated. Zooming is a little on the stiff side, but very nicely dampened and smooth without any "catches" in the zoom travel. Optically it's a bit of a compromise, like all ultrawides, but Sigma did a good job of balancing them. Overall sharpness is generally quite good, but it's not absolutely tack-sharp. It's noticeably soft, even in the center, at f/4 (especially zoomed out to 10mm). Stopping down to f/5.6 cures this and improves edge sharpness dramatically. Vignetting is also quite noticeable wide open at 10mm, but stopping down a bit virtually eliminates this problem. Distortion at 10 mm is irregular and difficult to correct in post processing, but simply zooming in to 11mm corrects this problem for architectural shots with a lot of straight lines. Lens flare and chromatic aberration that can be problematic with ultrawides are both extremely well managed -- not a problem at all, in fact. In summary, the Sigma 10-20 is a reasonably priced and incredibly useful addition that will open up new photographic horizons for anyone whose current widest angle lens is 17-18mm. For example, it's a perfect complement to the versatile Nikon 18-200 VR lens for anyone who wants to travel light and still have all their bases covered for any photographic eventuality. Other users have accurately described it as a "fun" lens. And it even comes packaged with a nice padded case. Nice touch, Sigma.

Wireless USB 2.4ghz Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle Adapter for Pc Laptop Notebook

This USB Bluetooth Adapter enables short-range wireless data connectivity between computers and Bluetooth enabled devices. Personal digital assistants, cellular phones, and other devices can connect wirelessly with your computer. Package Includes: Bluetooth USB Adapter
Customer Review: Software not compatible with Lego NXT
I bought this to control my son's Lego NXT (the dongle that Lego sells is over $30!). But it would not connect to the NXT using Windows XP's built-in Bluetooth software. So I installed the BlueSolei software that came with the product and that didn't work either. After about 3 hours of hunting around on the internet and trying various things, uninstalling, rebooting, etc., I eventually found a patched Widcomm 5.0.1.2500 driver that worked. So now I can connect to the NXT but I wish I'd checked on compatibility before having to go through all this hassle.
Customer Review: Does NOT work well out the Box with Blackberry Curve
I purchased the dongle as an add-on to get pictures off of my Blackberry curve onto my laptop. Unlike other phones, the Blackberry will not network with the dongle's software. Basically, you have to transfer each picture file one at a time instead of being able to grab all your picture files at once. The dongle networks with my son's Samsung phone and their may be a way to network the Blackberry but I need to do some web research to find out how. Overall, I am satisfied with the product but wanted to leave feedback that it does not initially work seamlessly with the Blackberry.

Mobile Edge Ultraportable Backpack for 8.9-Inch to 13-Inch Netbook Computers (Black)

BLACK-600D/1200D DIAMOND RIPSTOP MATERIAL NYLON-LIFETIME WARRANTY
Customer Review: Excellent packback with a couple of reservations
I bought this backpack as soon as it was available because I wanted a compact backpack that would hold my netbook, daily necessities, and a few other items. For that, the Mobile Edge has worked nicely; it has a good number of pockets (although I wouldn't mind one or two more), had a padded laptop compartment that was excellent for carrying my Asus EeePC 701 and its powercord, came with a phone carrier and two mesh pockets for water and/or other items, and was comfortable against my back. I carried it all day at a conference and was quite happy with it. Only two problems. One is the styling; it only comes in black, with heavy silver metal ornaments which remind me of motorcycle jackets; I would have preferred something a bit livelier and less heavy (and other colors would be nice). More seriously, the first day I used it, one of the internal pockets tore away from its side seam (I just had a light-weight notebook -- the paper kind -- in it). I sewed it back together, and it seems okay now, but the fact that it tore so easily wasn't encouraging. I'll see how well it holds up over the next few weeks. All-in-all, though, it's a nicely designed backpack for netbook owners.

It's designed 3-inch touch screen has all shooting and playback functions at one's fingertips. Advanced features such as scene auto selector, motion detection and smile mode add to the Coolpix S230's appeal.
Customer Review: Not impressed!!!
I purchased this camera regardless of the bad reviews. I guess I had to see for myself. Everyone has a different opinion, right? Well, they were right. The camera itself has nice features (touch screen, write and add captions to pictures), but does not justify the quality of the pictures and prints. The LCD is very grainy, often with snow, no matter what settings I used. I kept having to adjust settings every time I took a picture. Who wants to stop every time to make sure they have the correct setting. So, this is not just a point and shoot. I have a high end Canon Rebel XT EOS and just wanted a small digital to keep in my purse. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the quality in my high end SLR. I thought Nikon had been around long enough to produce great products. I was disappointed enough that I boxed it up and shipped it back after two days. I went with the Canon Powershot SD780 IS instead and love it!
Customer Review: My daughter loves this camera
I bought this Nikon Coolpix S230 for my daughter for her birthday and she absolutely loves it.

Customer Review: Falls Apart !!!
Pros: 1. Light weight Cons: 1. Poorly made: - Within 24 hours of use, the zipper broke (the part that you pull on came off from the zipper track). I hammered the loose part onto the zipper myself to fix it (it was quicker than returning it). - Strap broke within about 3 weeks of use. The strap is attached by plastic hooks with a relatively thin wire clip securing the strap hook onto the bag handles (SEE THE PICTURES). The wire bent, came out of its holes and no longer secures the strap hook in place, leading to me dropping my laptop a few times, whenever the strap hook unhinges itself. - The zipper handle broke again, leading to me loosing the part after about 4 weeks of use. 2. I personally do not like the fact that the main laptop compartment opens up completely, 180 degrees rather than from the top only. This was especially aggravating when the zipper broke and everything inside could fall out.
Customer Review: 17" Bag
It's what I expected. My laptop and the ac power pack fits inside the thin case. The case is about 18" wide. I wish that the extra zipped pack would open up completely, but it works for me.

Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand

If you own a laptop, you know all about heat. Because today's notebooks rely on fast processors to do the job, they generate a lot of heat, with much of it landing directly in your lap. Some laptops can have a "normal" operating temperature as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Not only is that unsafe and uncomfortable, it can also wear your laptop down, cause it to crash unexpectedly, and reduce its overall life expectancy.



The Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand is designed to cradle your laptop in cooling comfort.


Now you can be more comfortable while you work.


A single high-capacity fan, which is powered by a USB port on your laptop, sits in the middle of the cooling stand. View larger.


Hot air is channeled out to the left and right sides of your laptop. View larger.


The USB cable is neatly tucked away in a storage compartment on the bottom. View larger.
Belkin's Laptop Cooling Stand relies on a patented wave design and ergonomic features that will not only help protect your laptop by keeping it cool, but will also increase your comfort while you work. As part of Belkin's laptop@home line of accessories, the Laptop Cooling Stand is designed to help you to take full advantage of the benefits your laptop has to offer-- comfortably, economically, and stylistically.

Twice the Cooling Power, Half the Consumption
In contrast to most other laptop coolers that use two fans to suck warm air from the laptop's bottom, the Belkin's Laptop Cooling Stand relies on the natural flow of heat and air circulation to do the hard work and needs only one fan to do the trick. Instead of drawing the laptop heat down to push it out, the stand takes full advantage of natural air flow and heat's natural tendency to rise by pushing the hot air upward through the channel and away from your laptop.

The single high-capacity fan, powered by a USB port on your laptop, sits in the middle of the cooling stand, and hot air is channeled out to the left and right sides of your laptop. The result is heat dissipation that's equal to a two-fan solution but that uses less than half the power. And because the fan is USB-powered, you won't have any bulky batteries or adapters (which can also both add heat!) to weigh you down. You simply place your laptop on the stand, pull the USB cable out of the convenient storage compartment, and plug it into your computer. The stand will take care of the rest.

Computing in Comfort and Style
Measuring 12.6 x 11.6 x 1 inches (W x D x H), the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand is designed for 15.4-inch or smaller laptops. To prevent slippage, the stand features rubber pads on the feet, and a small plastic panel folds out from the bottom of the stand that elevates the rear for better ergonomics. The gentle slope reduces wrist strain, and by raising the screen height, it also reduces neck strain that is common to laptop users.

Unlike the industrial gray and metallic appearance of other cooling stands, the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand offers an attractive, gently sloped look that you'll be proud to show off as you work. The stand's thin profile means that you can easily slide the stand into your notebook bag as you travel from meeting to meeting, or café to café. And weighing a mere 22 ounces, you'll hardly notice that it's in your bag.

Customer Review: Spiffy device!
This thing is pretty cool -- definitely gets the laptop up off of whatever surface you're using (table, desk, lap, etc.) and definitely provides a constant rush of air to whisk away heat generated by your computer's processor. The cooling mechanism is audible but not intrusive, and you can most assuredly feel the breeze as warm air is pushed out to the sides of the device. The added "tilt" is also a nice feature, because as for me, it puts the laptop into a slightly-improved position in terms of typing. Recommended without hesitation!
Customer Review: Nice while it lasted...
I've owned this cooling pad for approximately three months. While it worked, the product did a decent job cooling my laptop (4/5 stars). However, this product will not win any awards for its build quality. For the past several days, the fan started to act up, making a horrendous racket that caused the cooling pad to vibrate. I've heard this problem before with one of the fans in a harddrive enclosure. Problem is, the harddrive enclosure is more than three years old. I expected to receive more than 90 days of service from this Belkin product.
