Fab little netbook

Firstly, thanks a lot to CW for a great review, one that helped me decide on this netbook.

I downsized to the Asus 1015px from a larger, Samsung laptop with a Core 2 Duo processor and was expecting to notice a significant drop in performance. Although it's a bit slower at times, with the recommended 2gig ram upgrade, it's certainly never annoyingly slow. In fact for most things (ie nothing too graphically intensive like serious games) it breezes along quite happily and I'll be doing everything I did on my full size laptop with this, apart from play dvds, but I'll get an external drive if that turns out to be an issue. Getting used to a smaller screen hasn't been a problem either, after a short while it just seems normal.

I agree the sound isn't exactly room filling but as mentioned it can be tweaked with a bit of effort and I've got mine running loud enough for my (crap) ears.

Regarding the sensitivity of the touchpad, it can be 'intelligently' adjusted, via the Elan Smartpad window from the taskbar, so as not to react so readily to unintended input and I've had no problem with mine.

I know Windows 7 Starter has been well slagged off by a lot of people but I've chosen not to upgrade, mainly because I'm poor! Anyway, it's fine for what I need to do, and by Googling I've found all sorts of ways to personalise the desktop, including 'Oceanis' for easily changing the wallpaper. So I reckon if you're not sure about Windows 7 Starter just try it out first before you worry about upgrading.

The excellent non reflective screen is very bright and I have mine turned down to half way most of the time. This obviously helps the already excellent battery life, but don't expect 11 hours, I get about 6 or 7.

Everything you read seems to suggest tablets are the way forward but I know I couldn't possibly use a tablet as my only computer, even though my needs are modest. This netbook, on the other hand, is now all I use and it suits me fine. I chose the Asus 1015px after a lot of humming and harring, I'm very pleased I did because it works brilliantly.

UN ROBOT MENAGER POUR HERITAGE ?,

Kitchenaid Artisan 5KSM150PSEOB - Robot ménager - noir onyx Cette marque et type de robot existe en france depuis les années 1970.
C'est un modèle très courant chez les patissier-boulanger et cuisinier. C'est également un outil professionnel d'une robustesse à toutes épreuves. C'est un outil pour la vie. Le prix est là pour en témoigner.
Il existe aussi un robot KitchenAid avec cuve levante et non avec moteur levant, comme ici. Il est 2 fois plus cher, mais à une durée de vie, au niveau des charnières de bascule, qui défit le temps. Les 2 utilisent un systeme d'entrenement mécanique par courroie ainsi que le systeme de battement dit planétaire, c'est à dire que le fouet, feuille ou crochet tourne comme la planete Terre (entrenement de la rotation du fouet, etc...dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre tandis que le fouet,etc... tourne dans le sens opposé) C'est plus rapide, efficace, qualité du produit frabriqué (ex:chantilly) comme un pro.
Dans tous les cas, un KitchenAid peu se transmettre de parent à enfant.Lacor 69083 Fouet / Mélangeur Électrique
Pour information, je suis patissier. J'utilise au quotidien ce robot.
Vous ne serez pas dessus par ce modele.
Point négatif : Si vous etes un peu bourrin...cuve sensible aux chocs, les charnières de bascule moteur, ont tendance à se tordre, mais en utilisation quotidienne de facon professionnelle. Moulinex - DJ750G32 - Robot ménager - Fresh Express - Rouge Rubis
Point fort : Coque acier, cuve inox, mécanique qui a fait ses preuves. systemes par courroie et planétaire Seb AH9000 Friteuse Actifry Family "A"

very reassuring, Angelcare AC401

Angelcare AC401 is nice and slick with a good user interface and shows the room temperature (not that I pay much attention to room thermometers - you know if it's too hot for crying out loud). It also doesn't contantly monitor the audio (which in other monitors means you sit in your living room listening to static hiss all night). This is clever by only playing audio when it detects baby crying. If the baby stops crying it will leave the audio channel open for a minute afterwards. You can also set alerts for if the temperature drops below or goes above a certain point (which you set yourself).

I've read some reviews moaning about build quality but honestly I don't get it; all these things feel a little bit 'Fisher Price' if you ask me, and actually I think these are well made compared to the competition - oh and don't worry about thick walls as the range on this is great (I got half way down the garden when testing).

As I stated in my review title, my son is now 7years old and we STILL use this unit. With a severely disabled child, who has no movement or speach, this unit has become my lifeline for his safety and our peaceful nights sleep.

Personally I think these units should be given FREE to every mother when they leave maternity, it would certainly help to reduce SIDS. Perhaps someone could campaign for this from the government but in the meantime, I don't see how any parent could be without this fabulous monitor.

I would also pay 10 times the price of this unit because when it comes to your baby, What price can you put on a life?
