This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch Laptop (Dual-Core i5 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB, HDD 500GB Graphics SD card slot (Personal Computers)
The new lion OS X has transformed the MacBook pro into an even more intuitive experience, especially if you are familiar with the iPad. I am a new mac convert and up until now have only ever used PCs and my iPad and I have to say the transition to mac has not been daunting at all, but simplicity in itself.
I didn't know whether to go for this machine or the larger 15" i7 processor, as i would be using it for design work on the go and I use a processor heavy adobe creative suite, and I have to say I made the right choice.as it performs any task I throw at it with ease. the extra cost was in the end simply not warranted, and the bonus is, this is perfectly adequate in terms of size and ultra portable.
I purchased this with parallels software and a copy of windows which allows me to work on windows for web development and design packages for mac side by side which really is the best of both worlds and this is simply astonishing as this wasn't possible only a couple of years... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It's great but it makes you look like you're trying to be cool!, 11 Jan 2012
This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch Laptop (Dual-Core i5 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB, HDD 500GB Graphics SD card slot (Personal Computers)
I have owned Apple Macs since 2001. I bought a G4 PowerMac that year and it's still running well today. Since then I've owned a number of Apple products, this Macbook Pro being the latest. As much as I love the stuff from this company, I find myself slightly resenting the fact that they used to be a bit of an alternative to the mass of Windows machines out there: there was always a feeling that by going the Apple route you weren't just following the crowd. In some ways it seems unfortunate that times have changed; what was once a company selling very well built and designed computers has turned into a corporate monster with a continuous push to dominate the world of cool with their endless product placements in movies and more and more shiny but fairly useless products. OK, rant over! This is a review of the Macbook Pro and so I will ignore my gripes with the company as a whole.

Recently I decided (basically for the above reasons) to give the competition a go for the first... Read more

This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch Laptop (Dual-Core i5 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB, HDD 500GB Graphics SD card slot (Personal Computers)
The Macbook needs no introduction, and this is a fantastic incarnation. I've own them since they started and Apple computer equipment since 1978. Which makes me very sad or something I know. One thing I will say is that they are pretty reliable as hardware, (no serious issues in last fives years) and OSX totally reliable. So for me that trumps about everything.

I'm writing this review because the seller that came up claims an RRP higher than that at the Apple store. OK, there's a discount, but not as much as you think.

Also, if you want my advice, don't touch the extended warranties that flag up on the page. If you want an extended warranty, and it's worth it for the battery - Apple will replace it FOC if it's under 100 cycles - then go for Applecare. Then you can get it fixed easily at the Applestore, where especially where batteries are concerned they have a liberal exchange policy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blisteringly fast when correctly set up, 19 April 2012

This review is from: Samsung SSD 830 2.5inch SATA III 6GBps 128GB Notebook Accessory Kit with Free Norton Ghost 15 (Personal Computers)
Purchased this as replacement system disk for new-ish Dell Latitude (E5520, i5 core, Windows 7 32-bit). Cloned the existing disk without a hitch, but I used Acronis True Image rather than the Norton Ghost software that is thrown in with the new drives. I would avoid Norton Ghost - too many horror stories.

When I re-booted using the new disk, performance was immediately much faster. Ran Samsung's SSD Magician utility (optimisation function, then over-provisioning), then re-booted again. It now takes 20 seconds from pressing the power button to seeing the desktop. Stunning. All programs open instantly.

I also bought a 64GB version of this disk. I connected that to the esata port on my laptop using this cable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005GNP72M/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I then transferred a test folder containing 2GB of varied .pdf, .doc and email database files. Time taken: 10 seconds, i.e. average of 200MB/s. Wow !

These SSD disks... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic performance, install needs care, 24 Mar 2012
This review is from: Samsung SSD 830 2.5inch SATA III 6GBps 128GB Notebook Accessory Kit with Free Norton Ghost 15 (Personal Computers)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme ( What's this?)
I used this kit to upgrade the hard drive on a Dell laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. What you get is an SSD drive (with a spacer as it is thinner than a standard laptop drive), a USB adaptor that lets you connect it as an external drive for data migration, Norton Ghost, a further utility CD, and a short user manual.

The packaging is great, but the bundle lacks a clear step-by-step guide so it can be confusing. Physically replacing the drive in a laptop is usually pretty easy if you have the right small screwdriver, but migrating the operating system takes some care. This is why Samsung supplies Norton Ghost; but it is overkill for the task and installs stuff that you may not need. I would prefer a more lightweight utility, or even to use the backup and restore that is built into Windows 7, but for this review I used Ghost as supplied.

If you do this, I recommend that you read the document called NortonGhost_Data_Migration_User_Manual_(English).pdf which is in the... Read more

This review is from: Samsung SSD 830 2.5inch SATA III 6GBps 128GB Notebook Accessory Kit with Free Norton Ghost 15 (Personal Computers)
I had research this drive with several other drives. Having only heard of the benefits but had never seen one in action I saw a video review from a popular site and decided to take the plunge.
Why did I wait so long? It has been perfect , it did exactly what it said it would do.
I cloned my existing drive on to the SSD and that was it. Done in exactly an hour. Improved boot up times, battery life and programs boot in the fraction of the time and shut down times are remarkable.
Would recommend to anyone who would love to breathe new life into there machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Core 80gb External Hard Drive, 18 Aug 2011
A great item, just plug in and save no software or drivers required, this little device is also encrypted, if your item gets lost of stolen no one can see your information. A small size with large file capacity, take it anywhere with you, fits in your pocket.[[ASIN:B004NHT84K CnM Core 120Gb 120 gb 2.5 inch External Hard Drive Portable USB 2.0 - Pocket Size Slim - Black] To encrypt you have to sign up to Deslock for a free account, download and activate the software licence.
Any device that's linked to the Core external hard drive via usb to your laptop or PC can be encrypted, single folders can also be encrypted.

Handy little gadget.

This review is from: CnM Core 120Gb 120 gb 2.5 inch External Hard Drive Portable USB 2.0 - Pocket Size Slim - Black (Electronics)
Perfect for a non-techy like me. All I did was plug it into the USB hub and waited for a few minutes to configure. Within another few minutes I had backed-up and stored old contents from my desk top with still some remaining space to store more information. Well worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works ok on a 64bit windows 7 Pro, 1 Dec 2011
Although I didn't buy it from Amazon, I personally had no problem with this disk drive working on my Win7 64bit system. I tested my drive with H2TESTW and it seems to be quite fast

36.6MBytes/s write
38.4MBytes/s read

Using a full write/verify cycle. Not bad I think for a USB2 HDD.

Hope this helps others buying this drive.

My only gripe is I have to find 2 USB ports to run the drive.

Someone also mentioned there was no manual, try this link for the manual

The manual is a PDF download link at the top of the page
