Apple iBook Notebook.......2006-11-04

I purchased my notebook used with a one year guarantee, but the product had been advertised as totally reconditioned. I had to return it just a few days later because it stopped working all together. Apple replaced some parts that went bad, but now I can't use the scroll tool. It's a problem I'm sure can be fixed, I just wish that I didn't have to go through all the hassle.

This is a fantastic computer, worthy of any lap!.......2004-10-16

This is a great computer on a number of different levels:

1) It is an Apple, which in itself makes it a superior product to any PC.
2) It is easily transportable, which makes it great for students on the run around campus and people in the workplace alike.
3) At 1 GHz with a G4 processor, this computer screams for a laptop. 1 GHz is fast for even most desktops, and G4's run faster at 1 GHz than the comparable Pentium does because of its better use of the technology.
4) 40 GB hard drive! Unless you are storing entire movies on this computer 40 GB is more disk space than you could possibly need. Finally, no more Zip-drives!
5) 14'' screen for a laptop is fantastic, and the resolution is not sacrificed one bit for it. You can set it on the desk and watch DVDs on it across the room.
6) New and improved over the old iBooks. No more trays that can snap off, better touchpad, better speakers, all the ports condensed on one side and are easily accessable.
7) Its beautiful! People will flock around you in the cafe to check it out. You'll have to fold up your laptop and beat them off with it.
8) Support is great. Apple runs a great business, from merchandise to customer service. Go to Apple.com to check things out--they will be happy to explain all the technical reasons why this is one of the best laptops you can buy.

There is no way to go wrong with this computer. I will not bother to give you all the tech specs, because they are already listed above and at Apple.com. What I will tell you is, as someone who owns this computer, you will not be disappointed. Apple absolutely delivers on what it promises.

I was converted to the use of Macs 2 years ago, and have not turned back since. They are so much easier to use than PCs, not mention more stylish and user friendly.

With the ibook, comes a huge collection of Mac generic programs which are really well designed and a pleasure to use. They are bright, colourful - and after looking at the general design of the Mac, PCs will seem ugly and you too won't be able to turn back:

Iphoto, is a great photo storing and editing program which allows you to sort, store, edit, make slideshows, and email your photos.

ITunes - one of the best music programs out there. Store, edit, sort, make playlists and download music. Ultra compatible with the Apple ipod, and so so easy to use.

Imovie - now this program is a gem. A basic movie editing program which allows you to insert photos and music from itunes and iphoto to create great viewing. Add titles, special effects, just drag in the movie clips you want - and you're away!

Ical - the ultimate organiser. Your digital diary - get emailed, or opt for pop-up messages to alert you of events you schedule. The best thing about this program, is that you can share your calendar with other people, and your information will update in their own ical. Most websites that have calendars of events online are now using ical, so that users can just download their calendars and put them in their own ical. Might sound complicated, but it's a breeze - just now that ical is the answer to staying organised.

Ichat - now, this is awesome! Chat to anyone with an AOL, or mac account instantly. You can also talk using your in-built microphone to others with ichat AV. When using ichat - you can personalise the photo that appears next to the person you are chatting to. Drag and drop any picture you like into the box, and you will be looking at the person you are chatting to. Drag and drop files into the text window, and it's a quick way to send someone a photo!

Mail - consolidate all of your email accounts into one simple program. No more logging into 5 different accounts to check your messages, store them all in the one place regardless of whether they are yahoo, hotmail or anything else!

There are many other programs which come standard with the ibook package, and you will love them all. They are just so easy to use - I can't stress that enough. Apple ibooks are sexy, smart - and unbelievably easy to use. Perfect for studying, or getting creative with your photo and movie making. You will not regret your purchase, and before you know it you too will be an avid Apple supporter.

If you're a Windows user and in no mood for switching, please read whatever review there is for the latest PC based laptop and go away.

If you're still reading and are interested in trying something really different or you're a Mac user already, welcome! The iBook and the PowerBook fill out the portable line of Mac based computers. Even though they are somewhat similar in processor speed, which one you get depends on what you want to use it for. The PowerBooks have many features that the iBooks do not. They are powerful enough to serve as a desktop replacement (unless you need G5 power), while the iBooks would be more like an extension of your established computing experience. They are priced accordingly. If you need DVD burning, and the mega RAM associated with Apple's Pro line of software, get the PowerBook. If all you need is a portable for Microsoft Office or AppleWorks, or to watch a DVD movie and play some games while away from home, get the iBook.

Since I already have a desktop that serves my major project needs (Final Cut/Soundtrack and the like), I just wanted one that would run those programs and let me transfer later to my main machine. I chose the iBook. I never considered the earlier G3 iBooks, since they were not ready for what I wanted. The G4 iBooks are a terrific value. With the money you save over a PowerBook, give it some more RAM (You can easily add 512MB for a total of 640MB) or maybe a faster hard drive (All Apple portables use 4200RPM drives which are slow IMHO). Get AppleCare for 3 additional years of protection. This is a great machine.

KLIPSCH RS-7 - This high performance Surround speaker matches the flagship floorstanding KLIPSCH RF-7 main speaker in performance, technology, materials and styling. Exclusive Wide Dispersion Surround Technology ( WDST ) produces the diffuse effects needed for envelopment, as well as the direct sounds necessary for good localization.

Built to complement the RF-7 and RF-5 floorstanding, RB-75 bookshelf, and RC-7 center channel loudspeakers, the Klipsch RS-7 offers a broad coverage angle, extraordinary sensitivity and output capability, and extended bass response that provide astonishingly detailed, immersive surround--even in large rooms. It uses Wide Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST), which enhances rear channel performance and allows incredible flexibility in room placement.

Manufactured on a rigid, low-resonance cast polymer frame, the RS-7's 8-inch, long-throw cerametallic cone woofer is propelled by an immense 28-ounce magnet and a large, high-temperature voice coil. The resulting bass articulation and impact defy conventional expectations for surround speakers. Flanking the woofer, are twin 1-inch titanium dome compression driver tweeters with 8-inch square 90 x 60-degree Tractrix horns. By placing these horns at 90 degrees to one another, the WDST design yields a seamless, 180-degree coverage pattern for optimal surround performance. The advanced crossover networks of the RS-7 are carefully designed for an improved blend between the lower midrange and upper bass frequencies. They use the highest quality internal wiring.

A Pretty good phone.......2007-08-13

I've had this phone system for about 4 years now, and I haven't had the majority of the problems others have. The screen on the base phone has a line across it, but i am still able to see who is calling. Also the rechargers cannot recharge the phone unless I put a penny between the back of the phone and the charger.
I have gotten the cordless phones wet, dropped it in water, dropped repeatedly on the ground and never had to replace them. And I bought them refurbished!
It lacks an external antenna and the rounded shape of the ear piece make it extremely comfortable, even after hours of talk time.
The batteries last a long time, and after 4 years I still have the original ones. Since the phone requires AA, they can be changed with any you have around the house in an emergency (but take them out before you put the phone back on the charger unless they are NIMH)

Class action lawsuit.......2007-04-18

Maybe what Siemens needs is a class action lawsuit. I also owned an 8825, same bad experience as shared by other owners.

Terrible phone system - STAY AWAY.......2006-11-15

I bought this phone system about two years ago at the insistence of my fiance at the time (now wife) so we could combine our phone systems after we moved in together. She loved the style and features of the phone (she works from home) and I had to agree - it was attractive with nice features.

Shortly after we moved in together and combined the system, the problems began. First, one of our two base unit's display failed, then the other base unit line 1 failed (line open - cannot hang up). We used the other one to replace the mother board and it worked fine for about six months, when that mother board (again, line 1) failed again. We purchased another base set on eBay to replace the one we had, and kept some of working parts from the other two base stations just in case. Sure enough, the display began to fail, so we replaced it with the one remaining, then sure enough, the motherboard failed. By this time, we noticed it seemed to fail around the time we had power outages (fairly common in the DC area). We purchased another base station and put it on a surge protector. Maybe four months later, it failed as well, again due to a power surge and despite the fact it was on a surge protector. This unit is unacceptably succeptable to power surges. My wife and I actually had discussed that that was the last base we would purchase, but she forgot and purchased another (yes, our fifth). Died this morning, after a power outage, again.

We've also had problems with the handset. We could never get one of them to synch to a couple of the bases, and the popping & cracking from our wireless LAN is both unbelievable and unacceptable.

Tomorrow my wife is going to go out and get the Panasonic 5.8 - we've read nothing but good stuff about it, have some other Panasonic equipment, and have been very happy (actually the phone I had before the Siemens was a Panasonic, and it worked flawlessly until I accidentally dropped it in the toilet).

Bottom line - this is trash, avoid it at all costs and if anyone has the gumption to file a class-action lawsuit against Siemens under our consumer lemon laws - sign me up.

Believe all the negative comments on Siemens Phones.......2006-10-26

I have owned two complete Siemens Gigaset telephone systems, with bases and 5 remote handsets. The feature set and designed operation is excellent, especially for a home based business or small office. But it will all fail within a couple of years. When it happened the first time I thought it was a fluke, so I replaced everything, with the saem results. LCD displays fail, charging stands fail, handsets fail, sound quality drops to zero. If anyone knows of a quality replacement (Panasonic?) please post your thoughts, but I will stay a long way from Siemens products in the future.

Skip this phone.......2006-07-20

The AC adapter for my phone just died so I call the phone number they plaster on the phone and on every manual. The recording says to email them or goto their website and then it hangs up. Why even give a phone number? I email them as instructed and the email comes back as not working. So I am still trying to figure out how to make a warranty claim.

With that said, like many others I hear an annoying clicking on the portable phone as well. Also the controls are not very intuitive. You will have to use the manual repeatedly.

On the good side it is an attractive design and the portable phone battery lasts for a long period of time.
