relishgrl says "Great all-around machine with only a few flaws" about Dell Inspiron E1705 PC Notebook

This machine is a workhorse, and you can get it in desktop-replacement-friendly sizes (mine has a 17-inch screen!).

The downside is, of course, that the bigger it is, the MORE it WEIGHS. I'm not gonna lie: by the time you pack the computer AND the chunky battery pack, you are going to be lugging that thing around, wondering why it's considered a "portable" computer!

It also runs hot, of course -- the power box is hot, and sometimes the bottom of the computer is super-hot, too.

That said, I've never met a laptop that didn't have these flaws. And this model has a lot going for it, too.

I love the keyboard, which is not too small to use. The screen is also pretty sharp. Most of all, this is a FAST computer that can handle big, hungry applications (Adobe Photoshop! Two browsers! Run iTunes too, and open a couple of Office apps!) without even blinking. If you're ADD or a power user, you'll like the way this machine acts just like a desktop.

Plus, I love the silver case. I'm so tired of......

relishgrl says "ALL the news you need, plus tons of fun features too!" about The New York Times

I adore the NY Times, and not just because of its fiendishly difficult crosswords.

Of course you can get all the latest world and national news, but the paper also has interesting science and style coverage -- it's as good for the fluff-reading crowd as it is for the serious-minded. I sometimes think of this as the NY Times's secret super power: it makes you look smart to read it, but it's actually a lot of fun!

The online version also has cool audio slideshows.

relishgrl says "Easy, cute, intuitive, and fun!" about Motorola - Razr Cell Phone

This is my first cell phone, and I was surprised at how easy the Motorola Razr was to use! I was texting away, taking pictures, and signing up my T-Mobile "Five" on the first day with absolutely no problems!

It has a super-slim profile, which means it slips in your pocket or the tiniest bag. And it comes in a range of colors, from masculine black to Hello Kitty pink!
