  • Decent Home and Home Office Scanner from HP

    Jul 25 '00
    Pros: Decent Scan Quality, Low price for an HP scanner, durable quality, multiple easy to use quick buttons, LCD for copier like use, USB and parallel
    Cons: Definitely not for professionals, copy machine functions hog up more CPU time, there are other scanners with higher resolution in same price range

    Summary: Leaning towards HP bargain line scanners is the newly released 4300C, 4300Cse, and 4300Cxi ScanJet scanners. They have begun to spring up in your local Staples, OfficeMax, etc..., and even in Wal-Mart! This is basically an overhaul of the 4200 series ... read more

  • Great printer!

    Jun 07 '03
    Pros: Quiet, quality printing
    Cons: none

    Summary: I bought an HP 832c printer a few years back and I have to say that, I have seen many people with more updated printers and none of them do as good of a job as my HP 832c! Now it is important for me to add that I am using it with a Webtv plus (MSNTV) ... read more

  • Gateway Solo 9300

    Feb 11 '01
    Pros: good batteries and processor
    Cons: warranty only covers select things

    Summary: I bought one of these about a year ago and it has given me some problems. Every time I try to get help from gateway they tell me my warranty doesn't cover it and I bought a full 3 year warranty. I have had to pay to get problems taken care of that ... read more

    Sep 19 '00
    Pros: Outstanding visual quality
    Cons: Menu button nipple is can be painful after prolonged use !

    Summary: This is an outstanding piece of hardware. Running on a Dell GX300 667Mhz with a Nvidia Geforce2 GTS 64Mb card make this quite the best system for what ever you to do. At 1600x1200 and 75 Mhz on the refresh, mine is completely ... read more

  • What a Powerful Service!

    Sep 18 '00
    Pros: Superb System and Service.
    Cons: No Workstation Model for power users.

    Summary: Back in 1995, I purchased a Micron PC: Millenia Max. After 2 years of a great use, my mother board had burned itself up and wouldn't cooperate any more. I thought to myself, "Should I dump this PC and buy a new "Dell"? I have decided to ... read more

  • Heck of a bang for the buck

    Sep 11 '00
    Pros: Priced affordably with attractive features
    Cons: Processor a tad bit slow, floppy drive hard to get to

    Summary: I am not one to recommend products lightly, but the 1605 is impressive for both the price and the features that are included. It has many improvements over the previous Satellites- namely that the modem plug is recessed rather than flipping out where it ... read more

    Pros: TV output, DVD, bright TFT screen, PIII cpu
    Cons: average battery life of 2.5 hours at full power

  • Gateway proves themselves, the hard way...

    Sep 07 '00
    Pros: good machine, great service
    Cons: well, everyone company makes some lemon machines

    Summary: I bought a Gateway laptop a little over a year ago. I was leaving for college, and I wanted a powerful machine that would last me for four years. So I spent a fortune on a the top of the line machine at the time. So you can imagine how upset I was ... read more

  • Gateway does it again

    Sep 07 '00
    Pros: Big Hard Drive, Great Speed, Cute Design, Affordable
    Cons: mine came with a trekker mouse and I prefer intellipoint

    Summary: I wanted a new computer. I had a Pentium 100. This was a major upgrade. And getting a Gateway was the best thing I've don't. It's a great computer and it's logo is cowlike and I love cows. So that was an added bonus. This computer works great and has a ... read more

  • The best laptop ever?

    Sep 07 '00
    Pros: Screen, keyboard, battery life, build, price, features
    Cons: Not very many

    Summary: Laptops? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention. Some bit off more than they could chew... Laptop computers epitomise the science of compromise. I've always felt that when it comes to computing there are three things that should ... read more

  • Gateway - an Oxymoron?

    Sep 06 '00
    Pros: Looks great on surface
    Cons: Very deep rooted emotional trauma will occur

    Summary: After toiling over a dozen websites, wandering aimlessly through countless computer and retail stores, I finally decided to go for the gateway. Not only is it a very dependable product, but it also has a great warranty program. The sad thing is, the ... read more

    Pros: good design great for a student
    Cons: could be a couple pounds lighter

    Summary: My school has a policy this year. Every student must have a computer to use aside from the computers in the computer lab. The main reason is that their is always a line out the door in the computer lab. I have my old PC that is barely good for word ... read more
