Shopping List

[vmail]

need some help in choosing the correct products, Crizzle usually comes shopping with me to help me pick the right one but this time Im not bringing her cos I usually have to buy her something

1st product on the list is a GPS speed camera detector, see this one at Aldi for £59.99

link

it has free lifetime subsciption but it would be nice if I could do the upgrade via wifi.

2nd product is a digital camera, not decided which one yet. but I want one which is approx 5MP, can take more than 90 pics on a single charge and does not take years to save the image.

3rd product is an external HDD, Ive seen this one at ebuyer

link

its by LaCie which contains a 500GB Samsung drive for £65.49, orginally I wanted one which was USB powered

4th product is a LCD for my kitchen, this is to encourage me to eat my food in the kitchen instead of the front room, Ive been told that a 15" is too small and that I should go for one that is 21-26", theres so many on the market and I dont know which one to pick

Try looking at the customer reviews in amozon or something. For the camera I went with the latest coolpix S200 bit its not the cheapest available so it what you prefer I think

1. Dunno anything about these

2. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 - just got one and its cracking

3. USB powered ones are laptop drives so only go up to 250gb, depends on what you need

4. Samsung do some cool ones

the hard drive will be used to store games, music and videos

and also backup an 80GB laptop so a portable one would probably be better

when looking for a LCD what contrast ratio and brightness should I be looking for?

[vmail]

is this Sharp 20" any good for £263.95

As far as external hard drives go.. I was thinking of getting one of these...

Its a Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB USB/eSATA with a 16mb cashe, and at under £130 it looks a good buy... also looks quite nice too.

If you do decide to go for the 500GB drive, you can get the almost identical Porsche designed LaCie drive from Amazon for £66 inc vat and del. Got one last week and very pleased with it - though I don't use the software that came with it as I already had good backup software.

It does have external power supply though. I'm sure the 500GB would be better for backups, but obviously not as portable.
