Articles about the PCs & Laptops

I got my 1tb My Book on Monday, it lasted a whole day and then started smelling of burnt electronics. Contacted Amazon, they were excellent and sent me a replacement Thursday, started it up, backed up some files. Got home backed up some more files from home pc then suddenly it died. It lasted 8 hours.

Thankfully Amazon seem really good about replacing dodgy products but why stock them in the first place.

I bought this product back in August. It seemed ideal for me; lots of storage capacity and nice and small. 3 months later and it looks like one of the worst purchases I have made for my computer. For reasons unknown the entire contents, including the operating software have gone, and I can no longer use it. Luckily I have backed up most of my stuff. But to add insult to injury, I have tried to seek advice and assistance from the manufacturer via the customer service part of their webiste. They appear to be based in USA and I would have to pay to call, which I am loathe to do. So I have emailed 3 times over two weeks. They have deigned to reply once and only then to send me the link to the website (where did they think I got their email address from?). I would steer well clear - a shoddy product and poor customer service from the manufacturer.

I couldn't have been more impressed. Ordered Monday evening, delivered Wednesday morning and works perfectly (unlike some well known refills). Also 40% cheaper than some high street stores. Highly recommended.

I purchased the multipack of inks and found the last one to be replaced was rejected by the printer with a message saying the cartridge was incompatible. When I contacted Epson customer services I was told they only have a 90 day warranty. I suggest buying them individually as if it takes more than 90 days to use them all you could be left with a useless cartridge and no means of replacement through Epson.

I have tried all week on and off the get this to work. Even with the router in the same room it fails to connect. When it does connect, all is fine but switch off and next time you boot up!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

You set it up again and all is fine. I downloaded the latest driver. Same result. It works fine for 10 minutes but re-boot and nothing even with the router in the same room.

Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.

All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Ipod, satnav and wii this way, so don't miss out.

I was sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. BBC approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

I bought 3 of these cards a couple of months ago, to use in my Canon G7 and to transfer data between computers. I put the cards in a card reader to transfer photos from the camera, rather than use the camera cord.

I have now thrown one away as it had repeated problems being read on different computers (luckily I lost no data), and am now about to throw away a second, as it has just started having the same problems (unluckily I lost some holiday photos). This means that I cannot trust the third one and will probably have to throw that away as well, as I use the camera for work, and if it fails on me, it will cost me significantly to retake the photos (if I can retake the photos). These cards have not had very much use, maybe a couple of times a week, not continuous read-write usage.

The equivalent SanDisk card (4GB, SDHC) I bought a few months before the Transcend ones is still going strong and never has any of these problems. It did cost more, but not that much more, and it continues to work.

Very disappointed with these Transcend cards, will not be buying any other Transcend memory cards, and would recommend SanDisk every time.
