Girl Guides: In-depth review of the Toshiba Portégé R830

QUICK LOOK
- Core i7 vPro
- Windows 7
- Non reflective HD display with LED backlighting
- Size of 316mm x 227mm
- 1.5kg in weight
- VGA Webcam
- Up to 8.5 hours battery life

The Portégé R830 from Toshiba is much the same as any other Windows-based laptop. It has a slim tile keyboard, large multi-touch touchpad, ports of various kinds and sizes and a simple user interface. The one very simple difference between my super-large and super-heavy Dell laptop and this little wonder is the size and weight which makes the Portégé R830 VERY portable and not a pain in the shoulder so to speak.

Girl Guides: In-depth Review of Samsung NX200 Digital Camera

QUICK LOOK
- 20.3 megapixels
- Detachable 20-50mm lens
- External detachable flash
- 220g weight (without battery & memory card)
- HD movie recorder with stereo sound
- 165 minute battery life (or 330 shots)

I had such fun with the NX200 especially with it travelling halfway across the world with me on my honeymoon. In fact it was such fun to play with that my husband often stole the camera from my grubby paws so he could play around with it checking this setting out and seeing what happened when you turned the settings/mode dial like so…

Girl Guides: Review of the TomTom GO LIVE 1000

QUICK LOOK
- 11cm capacitive touchscreen
- Magnetic mount to windscreen docking station
- 2-hour battery life
- Bluetooth hands free calling
- 220 grams
- 4GB internal flash memory

If playing a “spot the car without a GPS” game is anything to go by, you’ll notice that a GPS has become a necessary accessory for most drivers as they make their way from Point A to Point B. I like to think of myself as a lady with fun taste, but I have yet to find a GPS with pink diamante design to go with this quirky taste… However the TomTom GO LIVE 1000 makes up for it’s plain design by impressing the spark plugs off of Bullet (my car) and me with its amazingness.

Girl Guides: Review of the Sony Micro Hi-Fi System (CMT-MX500i)

QUICK LOOK
- FM Radio with 20 pre-sets
- Compatible with all iPhones and iPods with a dock connector
- CD and USB functionality
- Dynamic Sound Generator X-tra Bass boost function (DSGX)
- Speaker units comprising of a 100mm Woofer (cone type) and a 40mm Tweeter (cone type)
- 6,9kg in weight
- Remote control (with 2 AA batteries included)

You would think that since the system is so multifunctional, it would be a pain to setup. This was definitely not the case as there are exactly four cables to plug in to set up the system – one to plug the left speaker into the “brain” unit, one to plug the right speaker into the hub, one to plug the radio aerial, and finally one to connect the system to a power source.
