Dell U2410 Review

I’ve been using the Dell U2410 24″ monitor for a few weeks, and although I’m no monitor expert, I shall attempt to review it from an average users point of view.

Apple Magic Mouse Review

I’ve been using the Magic Mouse for long enough now to be able to review it properly. The video above is fairly long, and covers everything in great detail, whereas this review will be shorter.
If you currently use a Mighty Mouse, and are thinking about switching to the Magic Mouse, you’ll probably get used to [...]

Snow Leopard

The good:
good, solid, reliable upgrade;
not too expensive;
lots of small refinements to improve OS X.
The bad:
no major upgrade;
nothing special, and nothing to get exited about.
The rating: 4/5.
I eventually got a copy of Snow Leopard, from Amazon! The two videos above show the unboxing and installation of it, and then my review of Snow Leopard. In the [...]

I know a lot of you have iPod Touches, and iPhones too. I was asked, by a few of you, to review some iPod cases. But, I had a problem: I did not have any cases to review. So, with the help of goalkeeperg from YouTube (he’s also a member of the chat at live.jak-e.com) [...]

iMac Unboxing – Refurbished 20" 2.4 GHz

Live, with 16 viewers, I began the unboxing of my iMac! It’s a refurbished iMac — 2.4 GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram. Basically, the 2008 model. I got it, from the Apple store, for £650 which, for an iMac, isn’t bad! Throughout the day, more people joined the chat to watch the Live [...]

A bit noisy compared to more expensive drives
Lack of on/off switch

Update and Mic Stand Unboxing/Review

Pros:
Cheap
Does its job
Cons:
Quite light and could probably tip over easily
Rating: 5/5
If you’ve ever visited my live stream when I wasn’t there, you’ll know that there isn’t much to see, especially during the night because it’s too dark to see anything at all! My desk, on the other hand, is quite well lit up in the [...]
