SandStrom Wireless Bluetrack Mouse
Sandstrom have come out with a wireless mouse that tracks on any surface.
This mouse has something called 'Blue-Track'. This means that it tracks on anything, even glass. This is because it has a blue LED instead of a Red one so its on a different wavelengh. It is powered by 1 AAA battery which is included in the box. I g'ot m'i'ne for £15 from PC World.
On to the looks of the device now. On the top the is the Sandstrom Logo, scroll wheel and the mouse buttons. the top is made of soft touch plastic so feels comfy. On the left and right side there is a hole, some Ergonomics and that's about it.mOn the bottom there is a battery Compertment and a slot for the USB receiver, on/off switch, LED Sensor, and a connect button.
The mouse has quite a long range of 15 metres. it has a fairly high DPI of 1600 so is ok for gaming but it isn't a gaming mouse. The wireless recover is very small and is about 4cm big.
Sorry for no pic as I did this on my ipad.

Creative A520 Speakers Review
Creative A520 Speaker Review
Creative have come out with a
set of 5.1 Surround sound set of speakers for £51.99.
These 5.1 Surround sound
Speakers sound great and are fairly cheap.
The Set contains A 15w Subwoofer and 5 5w satellite speakers. To use these
in your computer you need a 5.1 compatible sound card, If you don’t have one
you can pick on up from PC World for £19.
The audio that comes out of
these is very crisp and doesn’t distort when playing loud, bass heavy music. To
get the best out of these speakers, you need to play the music with a media
player that supports Surround sound like Nero 9 and above.
The in-line volume control is
very handy as if your Keyboard doesn’t have media keys. When Playing Games like
Need For Speed, the surround sound comes in very handy as you get the feel that
the other cars are around you, it’s a similar story with Minecraft. In
Minecraft when you are mining, you can tell which ‘way the zombies and creepers
are as its like you are in the game with the sound coming from all directions.
So, in conclusion, These
speakers are very good and give great audio and are built very well and for
£50, you cant complain.
Pros
Price
Sound quality
Great Surrounding audio.
Cons
Drivers
Not compatible with older
computers without soundcard

HP x23LED monitor Review
HP have made a monitor that is 23” big and has
a led BACKLIGHT.
This monitor has a screen size of 23inchs and a resolution of
1920x1080 so the picture is very sharp and detailed. You can connect the
monitor in two different ways, these are DVI and VGA. I find it a shame that
they haven’t included a HDMI port as it is a 1080p monitor.
The case of the monitor is piano black on the front and matte on
the back.
The piano black plastic collects dust very easily so needs cleaning
a lot. On the back there is the video inputs and the 12v DC IN socket. But a
downside is there is no Visa mount so it can’t be wall mounted, however there
is a Kensington lock, so can be used in offices without risk of it been stolen.
Back to the font, there is a HP logo and the menu Buttons and a blue power
light. On the top and bottom there is just some vent.
So, to round it up,
it is a very good monitor and costs £230, and has a very sharp picture, I rate
is 4 stars.
Pros: 1080p, 23”, DVI, Price, looks.
cons: no HDMI, No visa mount, collects dust and finger prints.

iPad Mini Review
Apple iPad Mini Review
Apple have come and made a
smaller version of the ever-popular iPad but with a 7.9” display.
The iPad mini has got many of
the features of the iPad 2 but in a smaller form factor. As the iPad mini has
got the same CPU and memory amount, the performance is similar. The iPad is running the latest version of
IOS, which is IOS 6.2. And has the Siri feature.
The model I have is the 32GB
Wi-Fi only one. I find the iPad mini easier to use than the iPad 2 as the
boarders are smaller and it is easier to type on.
As it is an iPad, it still
has the App Store and the apps run smoothly and look great on the 7.9” IPS LCD
display with a resolution of 1024x768. The only down side is that all movies
have to be in the MP4 format to work with iPad.
Syncing my videos and other
things were very easy using iTunes and I chose to use the USB2 to lightning
cable to do this, as it is faster than WI-FI. The iPad supports WI-FI 802.11
a/b/g/n.
As far as hardware goes, here
are the specs: Apple A5 CPU, 512Mb Ram, Stereo Speakers, Lightning Connector,
5MP rear camera and 1.3MP front camera, 4G LTE and Wi-Fi.
Right, now to the looks of
the device. On the back there is a Black Apple Logo, the word iPad and the 5MP
iSight Camera. The black and slate model that I have looks very nice, but
collects fingerprints like a magnet. On the right side of the device now, there
are two volume button and the mute switch. On the top there is the sleep/wake
button, microphone and the 3.5mm Headphone jack. On the edge of the black
version there is a beveled edge, similar to the iPhone 5’s.
When you first turn it on you
are greeted with an apple logo as usual and then the patented ‘Slide To Unlock
Screen”.
Once you have set it up, you
can start using it. The iPad mini has 35% more screen space than the Nexus 7 or
Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7”. So it can still fit I one hand but it feels a lot bigger.
The battery life is very
good, as with all Apple Products. It last a whopping 13 Hours on one charge.
The iPad min is incredibly thin, 5mm in fact.
Intensive games run very well
on the device, here are my list of recommended games: Angry Birds, Minecraft
PE, Flow Free, Frisbee 2, Extreme Road trip 2, Zombiewood, Streaker!, Glass
Tower 2 HD, Temple Run, CSR Racing, and Prize Claw HD
So, this a exelent device and
I cant really flaw it so I rate it the full 5 stars
Pros: Size, cameras, High res
screen, battery, Looks, Feel, Speed, Storage.
Cons: Price (£360 for 32Gb wifi only)
