USB speakers will never be as loud as their mains-powered counterparts, but these speakers do a very good job from the 5v USB output on your laptop with the bonus of working everywhere.
They are a great idea if you want something that's very portable and guaranteed to be usable even when there is not a mains power supply to hand.
The speakers fit into a small fabric bag for storage (included).
The sound quality is surprising and extremely good up to around 3/4 power, after which you will find that extremes of treble will distort. The bass level is very good for the size of the speaker. As a guide, you can comfortably listen to music and video in a quiet 12ft x 12ft room, but the sound won't overpower ... Read More:

Whilst not delivered in the latest seahorse retail box packaging. It is supplied in an original EPSON branded shrink packaging, contained in protective plastic retail bubble style plastic packaging. I haven't yet installed the cartridge but I'm satisfied with its authenticity. I must admit to being somewhat sceptical at first as this price matches that of many compatibles.(Even allowing for the highish P&P rates) Placing a multiple order gives you a better deal still of course! My compliments on an excellent service having received my order promptly within 2 working days. I will certainly use this supplier again.

A high quality cable that simply connects my WD external HDD to my laptop via a StarTech.com 2 Port eSATA Cardbus PC Card Adapter - Storage controller - 2 Channel - SATA-300 - 300 MBps - CardBus. The 1m length is just right to fit in the laptop bag and carry around, whilst being long enough and flexible enough to be practical.

Been using it to charge up some electronic items I brought back from the US and it does the job fine (certainly costs a lot less than if I'd bought them over here, but that's another thing). Agree with the comments that it weighs a ton, but it's not really a problem - though can't comment on the power issues some have had as I've only been using low current devices.

I work 8 to 10 hours a day at my desk moving between my trusty old Microsoft mouse, a Wacom A3 tablet and keyboard. All my tools have to function perfectly all the time. After 6 months hard use, the Novo's going in the bin.
Good points: the keyboard action is amazing, like a cross between an electric type writer (highly responsive ) and a top of the line laptop (short key travel). The rechargeable cradle works well and the Bluetooth connection is solid. And it looks fantastic, top marks for design.
Bad points: Day 1, the latest version of Logitech's software went on, screwed up several vital programs and processes and was promptly removed.

I was in two minds whether to get these, as they aren't a major brand. However, I was so glad I did as they are fantastic. I wanted to use them to link an XBOX360 to a Vista Media Center, to stream live TV, music, videos & DVDs.
Setting them up really was as simple as plugging them into the wall and plugging the supplied network cable into the XBOX & Media Center. I installed the software and was amazed to see I was getting 175mbps between the two devices!
A word of warning though - don't plug them in to adapters/power strips, the throughput goes down dramatically.
I would definitely recommend these to anybody looking to link two devices together without having the hassle of wireless, or trying to run ethernet ... Read More:

Amazing product! Honestly, once you go to a Marble Ball Mouse, you will not go back. I actually find it difficult and a hassle to go back to the computer based mouse. The price you pay for one of these mouses is well worth it - a real investment. Its quicker, more efficent, and all around excellent product.

Printers, PCs and a WAP were beginning to outnumber the ports on my router, so I bought a Netgear GS605 to extend the network. It couldn't be easier to setup and install. It was a matter of taking everything out of the box and plugging in the power supply, the link to the router and the network cables to the devices. That's it - no setup disk or passwords, no IP or MAC Addresses to be entered - it does all the mapping itself.
And like Jet Set Willy, I went and bought another a few days later to sort out my son's collection of Printers, PCs and a WAP.
