bains4u says "Snail" about Lenovo ThinkPad® X60 Tablet (63632AU)

bains4u — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:14:26 GMT

Although this tablet has a appealing design and add-ons such as finger-print scanner, this tablet is so slow that it takes anywhere from 3-5 minutes to boot up completely and that is out of the box without installing any third party softwares.

We bought 2 for the business and no one want to use it during presentations.

bains4u says "Great buy for great price" about D-link MediaLounge™ DSM-520 Digital Media Streamer (790069283451)

I loved my DSM-520 media lounge. I had it before the Apple TV arrived in the market and I would say that at the fraction of the cost of Apple TV, DSM-520 is a great hardware.

Very easy to setup, considering you already have a home wireless setup and working. High-Definition allows you to view HD videos. All you need is the TV connected to DSM-520 in one room and your Computer running the D-link Media Software in another room and the DSM-520 will stream videos, Audios and pictures from your computer wirelessly onto your TV.

If you dont want to use the computer, just connect an external hard drive to this unit using the front USB port and watch media contents stored on your hard drive on your TV.

Support of new Active TV Software allows you to watch You Tube and other online media contents free of cost

In a nutshell, this device does what it is intended to do.

bains4u says "Wii loved it" about Nintendo Wii Console

bains4u — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:48:22 GMT

First of all this thing was a challenge to get your hands on and maybe that might have been the reason of my initial interest in getting the Wii, you know "hard to get" kinda thing.

But overall the experience was awesome, a totally different and interesting user participation. The greatest experience was playing Zelda, the twilight princess with the ability of using the remote as a sword. I chose it based on price and getting family's intereaction into the games. great medium of bonding with the kids.

bains4u says "Addictive" about The Da Vinci Code

bains4u — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:41:08 GMT

Let me start by telling about myself - I hate reading books. But when my co-worker offered me his book to read, i gave it a try and after first couple chapters I wanted to know more about the story. The book is simply addictive and a great read.

I also watched the movie and I would say that the movie did not do any justice to the book. Give it a try, read first couple chapters and you will know if you will ike it or not.

bains4u says "Great bike for new bikers" about Yamaha FZ6 - 2004 Motorcycle

bains4u — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:30:32 GMT

I bought my first R6 (first motorcycle ever) in 2004 and I was so confident in riding it that everything came naturally. The bike was really stable and had a great handling response. It was fast and at the same time light for manuvering.

I test-drove few other bikes before buying the R6 and i felt more safer on R6 than any other bikes. It is a great bike if you are thinking of owning your first bike, in a matter of fact you will love this bike even if you are a "pro" biker.
