Space saving dynamic speakers, June 20, 2011

This speaker bar just snapped right onto my Dell monitor replacing an older model of the same style of speakers. These offer surround sound simulation, bass boost and greater power. For working at your desk, these are fantastic and free your desk for more important things. These are effective enough to listen to throughout the adjoining living room to my office, however, these are probably not the best choice if you use your computer as your only stereo.

Space saver at the cost of sound quality, April 28, 2010

This review is from: Dell 2.0 Stereo Sound Bar Speaker for Dell LCD Flat Panel Studio Monitors (Dell Part/Model Numbers: AY511, F112P, G380T, Y260N, 313-8742) (Electronics)

This speaker is a real space saver, but it does come with TWO major drawbacks - price and sound quality.

Don't kid yourself and think any of those SRS "virtual surround" feature (that does nothing but drive the price up) will fix the main problem. The speaker units inside the glossy slimline casing are tiny. They sound like cheap $15 speakers.

If you need this for the space saving feature, just buy the regular Dell AX510 Soundbar (around $20).

But if you have a little more desk space, forget any of these soundbars and look for a set of proper speakers instead. Even a simple Logitech LS21 ($25) would sound far better than these speakers... or go straight for a set of Creative GigaWorks T20/T40 if you don't have under desk space for a separate subwoofer for some seriously good sound from just 2 desktop speakers.

So really, besides the glossy curved design of these speakers, there's really nothing else good about them. You can get similar space savings with a cheaper Dell soundbar, and you can most definitely get better sounding speakers for less money!

Comment on Timbuk2 Command Laptop Messenger Bag,Black,M by A. Saraiva

Excellent bag, March 29, 2010

This review is from: Timbuk2 Command Laptop Messenger Bag (Sports)

I have used four different Timbuk2 messenger bags up to this date, including the Commute 2.0, and this one is by far my favorite one. The "Napoleon" pocket and the bottom compartment make it very handy when rushing to catch your next flight and having to keep your passport in a secure, zippered, compartment that you can access without opening the bag or even looking at it. It has become second nature to me to simply store my car keys and get my badge from this same pocket every morning as soon as I arrive at the office.

The only reason that I don't give it five stars is because its shoulder strap simply detached from one of its sides on the very first time I was wearing it, allowing the bag to fall and hit the sidewalk. My MBP actually ended with a minor dent because of this. Lesson learned: I noticed that you MUST leave the plastic quick release bucket in place all the time so that the shoulder strap will not end up getting loose as it occurred to me. One extra step you can go to be sure it is firmly attached is to simply pass the shoulder strap twice through its connector.

A very decent compromise, February 20, 2011

This review is from: Timbuk2 Command Laptop Messenger Bag (Sports)

This is my third Timbuk bag. I have an original messenger bag from the 90's (which is indestructible) and an original Commute bag (which is not). Before purchasing this bag I looked at Chrome, Crumpler (Heegoer), booq (Cobra Courier), Domke, Manhattan Portage, Tom Bihn and others. All of these companies produce comparable bags that are better in some way than the Command Messenger, but not in all ways. The Command Messenger however, seemed to be the right kind of compromise for an all purpose bag that will go a few miles comfortably via bike or foot to the classroom or the office and also manage an airport or two.

The Useful:

1. The Command Messenger is designed like a real messenger bag; i.e. it straps like a messenger which makes it more versatile than a shoulder bag/satchel for securing and carrying stuff.

A bike messenger bag (a wide bag with a wide, rigidly secured strap) secures the load of the bag across one's back rather than allowing it to hang at the waist like a satchel does. While the (bike) messenger bag is designed for bike use, it also works well when walking for longer distances and you'd rather not have the contents of your bag banging into your hip. Most bags sold as "messenger" bags are satchels with a less 18th century name. For instance, if the bag has metal hook and ring fasteners to hold the strap to the bag, even if it also has a stabilizer strap, it is not a messenger bag (unless made by Cocotte). Another point to make here, however, is that although the Command Messenger is designed like a messenger bag, there are better choices if you are going to be using the bag primarily on a bike. The strength of this bag, however, is its versatility.

2. It has a handle for gracefully moving it short distances when you don't want/need to get strapped in.

3. The laptop compartment zips away from the main compartment to lie flat (TSA compliance). Also, the same compartment can be accessed from the top of the bag without opening the main compartment. If you are a person who gets into class/meetings after they have started this is crucial as it avoids having to tear away the loud velcro secured main flap to get to your laptop.

4. It has little velcro tabs on the inside top of the main compartment to help secure the contents against rain.

5. It has a panel on the back to fit over the extended handle of a luggage bag; a luggage handle pass-through. (Which may have a wider opening than shown in the pictures)

6. It is lightweight. This is more important than it might seem. A 3 lb laptop in a 5 lb bag is as heavy as a 5 lb laptop in a 3 lb bag.

Notes in response to other reviews: Having the Command Messenger fall to the ground when you unbuckle the strap is only possible if you are not wearing the bag as designed. Some bags (i.e. most Chrome bags) are designed to unbuckle and fall away and you can wear the Command Messenger in this way as well. Also, the two straps on the bottom/front of the bag that hook into the main flap are compression straps: they adjust the depth of the main compartment.

The Awkward:

1. The main strap is thinner than Timbuk's regular messenger straps and not at all rigid. The thin, floppy strap distributes the weight of the bag less effectively and also allows the strap to get in the way when you are snapping in the strap buckle. On the other hand, when you set the bag down the strap lies down with it instead of remaining insolently poised above the bag.

2. The protruding cam buckle lever. This is a new design which is meant to be easier to open and close than the old flush design. The flaw here is that when walking and wearing the bag in a messenger style (high on the back), the cam lever protrudes into the wearer's right arm. With the snap buckle allowing the strap to be set at a particular length and then snapped in and out, a protruding cam lever just isn't necessary. If you wear the bag low on the back or on the hip this will not be a problem.

3. Those metal hooks (anodized aluminum hardware) Timbuk says are for "quiet entry" will get you stealthily to the moment when you need to pull up the main flap and the sound of thousands of nylon hooks ripping away from a bed of nylon fuzz alerts everyone that you are using more velcro than you need. There will be no quiet entry. And there will be no quick closure either because you will need to thread those hooks behind a very thin and flat strap.

The Neither Here nor There:

1. There is no significant padding in the laptop compartment. A neoprene insert/sleeve will solve this problem.

2. No cross strap included.

2. The inner loops which allow inserts to be attached get in the way of moving things in and out of the main compartment.

3. So many compartments for "little things" that you may be unable to... Read more

Not much to say here. With a 68 Watt (max) amp, 8" subwoofer, and nice big cabinet, this little 2.1 system is worth more than $40! Lots of bass! Maybe a little boomy, but for the price, it's a steal! Get one!

For the price these can't be beat, September 11, 2010

James Wilson (New Jersey (USA)) -

This review is from: Cyber Acoustics CA-3550WB Silver 2.1 Speaker System (Electronics)

I bought this setup December, 2009, for one of my daughters to use with her TV and iPod. Both of us are more then satisfied with them.

Her living room is about 10x12 and when watching movies the sound is actually quite good. You don't really feel the bass punch you in the chest for things like explosions and car crashes, but no one can realistically expect anything like that to come from a sub-$50 set of speakers. Her music from the iPod sounds clear and powerful, surprisingly so when you realize how small the satellites and subwoofer really are. The sound lacks a bit of lower midrange, but certainly nothing too discernible.

All-in-all the CA-3550 speakers just can't be beat, not at this price. Highly recommended.

This product was a great fit for my 14.1" HP laptop. Highly recommended and slides smooth over my nice casing. The zipper does not scratch the case on the way in or out!

I've bought a couple sleeves for my other notebooks over time. They do wonders to keep notebooks protected during travel. Most are slim enough to fit inside briefcases with compartments for notebooks. In my experience, if the sleeve fits the notebook snug enough it works great -otherwise it's like wearing shoes that are too large for one's feet. This inexpensive sleeve fits great my HP Pavilion 6000 with screen size 14.1". You can't go wrong with this sleeve if your laptop is the same size.
