Sony Bravia KDL-60LX903
The Good: When it comes to television, beauty and brains have to come together. In other words, fashion should never be over function and delivering must never be at the cost of style. A good example of this balancing of the aesthetic with the functional is the Sony Bravia KDL-60LX903. With a 60-inch panel in clean cut form, the Bravia KDL-60LX903 is currently Sony's flagship TV. It's big, it's brilliant and it's got everything you'd expect from a Bravia and more. The Bravia KDL-60LX903 is the latest in Sony's more recent "Monolithic" designs: a black-edged TV on a low stand with a one-layer screen that has a little back end. The Bravia KDL-60LX903 has been designed to look great from any angle and this 360-degree philosophy provides a streamlined rear that hides messy cables behind clip-off panels.
But aside from the physical features, the technology behind the Bravia KDL-60LX903 keeps it ahead of many of its LED peers. Using the latest edge LED lighting technology, the Bravia KDL-60LX903 delivers brilliant picture quality. Employing the Bravia Engine 3 or BE3 system, the TV set shows details that are a lot more crisp than most of the sets going around. The Bravia KDL-60LX903 also provides natural colours for a more enjoyable viewing experience, thanks to Sony's Live Colour System. Bravia's latest offering is also equipped with MotionFlow 200 HZ. The Bravia KDL-60LX903 is also fitted with Sony's OptiContrast panels to reduce reflections.
The Sony Bravia KDL-60LX903 also comes with plenty of connectivity options, including a hidden wi-fi to maintain the TV's seamless design, and a number of USB ports that support the most commonly played music, video or photo file formats. The Internet video platform also succeeds in providing quality livestreams, making the Bravia KDL-60LX903 a great medium to watch YouTube videos or download online content,. An Ethernet port also comes in handy when accessing DLNA PC content. The Bravia KDL-60LX903 is also perfect for 3D viewing with the built-in 3D transmitter.
Other cool features of the Bravia KDL-60LX903 are face detection and a Presence Sensor which provides sound warning when children come to close to the TV set. It also allows the Bravia KDL-60LX903 to adjust picture and sound settings depending on where the viewer is seated.
The Bad: If money is a concern, the £4,500 price tag would be pretty intimidating. The edge-lite LED backlighting of the Bravia KDL-60LX903 prevents it from doing high-quality motion processing found in Sony's HX903s range. The Bravia KDL-60LX903's sound also lacks energy and the Distance Detection sensor can be at times faulty, sending warnings despite viewers' proximity at a safe level.
Summary: The Sony Bravia KDL-60LX903 is an elegant, feature-laden and capable product combining style with functionality. The cost, however, may intimated buyers who could settle for more affordable Sony LED TVs that offer full-array LED backlighting.

Amazon Kindle Review
Overall rating:
The amazon kindle is simply an amazing product to use. It's clarity on screen is sharp, crisp, and just like reading a book. Downloads are blazing fast just aas amazon promises and adding books from your amazon account to your kindle without even touching it is possible. A feature which, even I was amazed with. Great job amazon! Bookstores beware! After recieinvg the kindle as a gift, I just don't think I'll be running off to the bookstore any time soon, nor will I wait 2 days with my amazon prime. A prefer a nice easy 30second download to my kindle. The fact that you can preview a chapter before purchase is a huge seller for me as well.
Antec Chill Pad Review
The Antec Chill Pad is a great way to cool your laptop down. While it does add some noise to your existing fans it's much less than hearing your laptop fans go crazy. Another benefit of this device is that it can help keep your computer down during heavy usage times such as pc gaming and other processer intensive things like photo and video editing. The cost of this device is around $20-30 on Amazon.com at the time of this writing. However, you can also pick it up at many store locations such as BestBuy, Staples, and other electronics relators. Just keep in mind the prices in store may be as much as $40 so if your on a budget doing some comparison shopping would be to your benefit.
Logitech Anywhere MX Computer Mouse Review
Overall, this mouse is really great. With impressive speed, response time, and the fact that it works great on a glass desk it's a no brainer when it comes to buying. The one down side is that it is around $60 to buy but, with it's compact size you may find it worth it if you travel, have a glass desk or are looking for a more useful mouse. This mouse has several cool features which, become active upon installing the special logitech software.
Nikon Coolpix Camera:
Pro - For the money I think this camera was a great purchase. It has 12 mega pixels which takes amazing looking photos. I love the optical zoom and that even when I'm not holding the camera steady it still takes crisp photos.
Con - The camera is way too thick for my taste and in addition takes AA batteries. I would typically prefer the charge pack so I can just throw it on my wall at night when I'm done using it. The last con would have to be the display. When I look at previews of the pics on the little lcd screen they don't look that great. Thankfully when I plug it into my computer they look crisp as expected.
Summary - Overall for the money I would make the purchase again, but I don't think I would recommend this camera to all my friends.
HP G62 Laptop:
Pro - I love the price and have always been a big fan of HP's customer service and support. For general use such as internet, emails, and using Skype it works great. The battery life, display, and keyboard are up to my typical standards for a laptop.
Con- They unfortunately was trying to go for a new sleek look with this laptop, but in the process reduced the functionality. The touchpad has an annoying texture over it and isn't very responsive. Forget about using memory hungry programs like Photoshop and the processor is way under powered for all the uber macroing I do.
Other thoughts - considering it was only $600 it's not the worst laptop that I've ever used. I would only make the purchase if you only intend to do the basics like watching a movie or surfing the web, but other than that I wouldn't recommend.
Logitech MX518:
Pro - This is the best mouse that I have ever used in my entire life. I'm a HUGE gamer and believe me when I say I've used a lot of mouses. I've had this mouse for over 5 years so far and I would assume it will last me another 5. The DPI, ergonomics, and price make this one of the most bought mouses on the internet.
Con - The only con that I could possibly think of would be that after about the second year of use the paint starts to wear off the emblem in the center of the mouse. If they would fix that little part it would look brand new for years of use.
Other thoughts - Buy this mouse and you will use it for years. You have my guarantee!
HP 4gig flash drive:
Pro - This flash drive is so awesome, I can't believe they were able to fit 4 gigs of space on this little thing. The blue they chose for it is sleek and eye catching and in addition it comes with a cool lanyard so that you don't end up losing it.
Con - The fact that its small might mean that it's too small I'm always afraid of losing it under a folder or something stupid. Other than that I don't have any complaints considering that it was only $16 on Amazon.
Other thoughts - They also sell this exact flash drive but in different sizes such as 2 gig, 16 gig, and 32 gig so I would buy all of them if I were you.
Asus 23.6" VH242H LCD Monitor:
Pro - This is probably the best monitor you can get for the price. It cost less than $200 and the monitor is HUGE, sitting at just under 24". It has a sleek finish similar to Samsung which I love, but a heck of a lot cheaper. The image that this monitor puts out is immaculate, there is not one complaint. Even though its only 5ms I have never experienced any ghosting and you can switch between different monitor modes depending if you r watching a movie or playing games which is great.
Con - I have owned these monitors for 2 years now and I started with one and now I own four so that goes to show how great they are for the price.
Other thoughts- it's almost too big to be a monitor, but too small to be a TV, but other than that I have pretty stoked on the purchase and have referred these to all my friends.
