Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Buy the Sennheiser RS120 Wireless Headphones from TheNerds.net Today!

Sound is an emotional experience. Without a tv screen, we can still enjoy radio. But without sound, we’re looking at moving pictures, kind of boring. I say, “Liven up the Sound Experience”! For this review I connected the Sennheiser RS120 to my JVC DD3 Home Theatre System (DD3) today and was truly impressed. I’m specifically reviewing the lower end model RS120, and the quality is quite unbelievable. I can only imagine what the Sennheiser RS140 can do. WOW! The RS 120 is an open, supra-aural wireless RF headphone system. It is extremely comfortable to wear so it feels great on. It produces well balanced, great bass and sound which makes it ideal for all types of music and TV applications. Also, the cradle is a transmitter, and charger all in one. And you know how I feel about all-in-ones. Yippeee!

Furthermore, the Sennheiser RS120 Wireless Hi-Fi Headphones come with an innovative “easy recharge” function offers the ultimate in convenience when it comes to charging and storing your wireless headphones. 

Here’s what’s in the box:

Lenovo Lithium Ion Laptop Battery

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

When it comes to good battery life for your laptop Lenovo delivers. Their newest product the Lenovo Lithium Ion Laptop Battery has a life span of up to 6 hours, which is quite good. The charge time is a mere 4 hours. It works with the Lenovo ThinkPad Notebooks Z60m Series T60 Series. I think we can all agree that the problem with laptops is the battery life. In fact portable devices have had a long line of history of problems with battery life and still to this day we are constantly looking to improve battery life. I’m happy to see that Lenovo has addressed the battery life issue and is constantly trying to improve the quality of battery life for their users.

Pros: battery last 6 hours, charge time is slightly more than 4.3 hours, light weight so it doesn’t add much extra weight to the laptop and comes with a one year warranty cause in a year I’m sure Lenovo will have a better battery out with a more improved life span this time next year.

Cons: well it only works with the Lenovo ThinkPad Notebooks Z60m Series T60 Series, so if you have a different series number you need to look elsewhere.

Conclusion: This is a must buy for anyone with the Lenovo ThinkPad Notebooks Z60m Series T60 Series. With its easy charge time and 6 hour battery life this battery knows how to stay up fighting to the very end.

I give this product a 5/5
