 | "Very Nice Light Weight Laptop Case" | 2007-08-16 |
I was concerned my 15" widescreen Toshiba laptop might not fit into this case after reading several reviewers complaining about fit issues. Nevertheless, I ordered it. I received mine yesterday and immediately tried it out with my laptop. It was a perfect fit. The fit was tight enough so the computer could not move around the compartment and yet it was relatively easy for me to put in or remove my laptop. There are separate compartments for acessories such as AC adapter, power cord, plus enough room for a small cell phone/PDA and possibly a small external computer drive. There are also compartments that can be used to store a magazine and/or a 10 to 15 page document folder. Externally, the case looks professional and the computer compartment is well protected with padding. However, I do agree with the comment from a few reviewers that AC adapter, power cord or other accessaries will show up as small bulges when stored with the laptop. I cannot comment on the durability of this laptop case as I just got it. However, in view of the fact that it costs only a little over $[...] at [...], I consider it a very good buy.

 | Wheel Mouse Optical Black |
 | "Good but not perfect" | 2007-08-13 |
I have used this mouse for 6 months now. It is a replacement for the original Dell track-ball mouse that came with the computer. Overall, it is a good mouse but I routinely expereince mouse jitters( ~2 seconds ) during switching of web page from one to another. I never had this problem with the original Dell track-ball mouse. As a web based computer game player, I hit the mouse button probably 300 times a day on the average and the left mouse switch is showing early signs of wear after 6 months of use( that is 54,000 clicks ). I hope this mouse will last for at least a year. All in all, this is a good mouse but its durability is something remained to be seen.

 | Verbatim DVD+RW 4.7GB 4X 10pk Jewel Case |
| "One of the Best" | 2007-01-30 |
This review applies only to data storage and not video. In fact, DVD+RW is more suitable for data storage. For video application, DVD-RW is more suitable. I have been using this writing surface for data storage for the past three months. The reason I refrained from writing a review for this product sooner is due to my very bad experience with Memorex 16X-24X CD-RW in which all recorded data( 15 discs in all, ie 15 out of 15 ) would become unrecognizable within a few weeks. The Verbatim DVD+RW is a reliable surface. So far I have not had a coaster, or encountered writing error during burning, or unexpected loss of recorded data. Some discs I have rewritten 10 times over while others I have appended new data to without erasing existing data on the disc, and the most important fact is the data stays and has not become corrupted. I highly recommend this disc for data storage because of its reliability. The price of this disc is slightly on the high side though. On a price per disc basis, the 30-disc spindle is more economical compared to the 10-disc pack and may be a better choice if one ever needs that many 4.7GB discs.
