This is my fourth HP computer and second laptop.  I chose it for its reasonable price and great list of features - there's a lot of bang for the buck.  This laptop has an AMD Turion 64 processor which is Windows Vista capable, and in most cases provides more than enough juice to allow me to complete regular tasks with ease and in a timely manner.  There is an adequate amount ...

I stumbled across this cologne about five or six years ago, and have been using it ever since.  I have multiple bottles ranging in size and price from $54 USD - $85 USD.  The bottle is thick, quality glass that is very durable, and I have never had an issue with the spraying mechanism.  It is clear, simple and classy. Bvlgari Pour Homme is a great summer or warm weather colo...

Hot-Rox Extreme is a thermogenic supplement in pill form that is meant to increase fat loss and calorie expenditure, increase mental focus and physical motivation, and suppress appetite.  I find that the product stayed pretty true to its description, as I would take one in the morning and be pumped for the gym.  I believe it also helped me make more progress in the gym because I pushe...

I was looking for flights to Florence or Rome, Italy (from Boston) in June of 2007 for a fall semester abroad.  Alitalia was about $100-$200 USD cheaper than most of the other airlines at the time, but in retrospect I would have selected a different airline.  While the flight staff was always friendly and accommodating and the in-flight service was good (though movie selection was les...

There are two really good radar detectors out there: the Valentine One (and higher up models of it) and the best model Passport Escort.  Other than those (which are very expensive), you have to realize you are getting what you pay for.I got my Cobra knowing it wasn't the best radar detector out there, but it has served its purpose well.  It more or less serves as a reminder for me...

This product is meant to produce the "day after" effect on hair, which is when you showered the day before but your hair seems more controllable the next day.  It does a fair job at this, using its ingredients to mimic the natural oils of your own hair.  When my hair (men's) would normally be soft and unable to be styled without product, Dirt allows me to get my hair the...

Apples to Apples is a really fun game for people of pretty much all ages.  There is a junior edition and an adult edition, both are extremely fun and even the junior edition can be enjoyed by adults - sometimes even more than the adult version itself.  The materials are high quality and the instructions are clear, and even come with alternate games you can play with the cards in case ...

I love this phone.  I've had this model for about four years now, and purchased the original when it first came out and was one of the more innovative phones on the market.  I find LG to make excellent cell phones and this is no exception.  I get reception and service in places most of my friends don't, and never have dropped calls or static.  It was the first phone ...

I have tried various protein supplements for post-workout nutrition, and ON's Gold Standard Whey Protein is undoubtedly the best.  This is another case of most bang for your buck, because it has everything you want and need in a protein supplement without breaking the bank.  I like this product first because it has good macronutrient ratios, meaning the optimal ratios of protein t...

In most cases, fish oil is fish oil.  There are many benefits and as long as you are taking the right amounts of the omega 3 fatty acids (that are in fish oil), you should see the benefits.  GNC's fish oil capsules are good in that they don't smell like fish, contain the omega 3 fatty acids and encourage the benefits of the oil.  However, once I did more research on other...

This shampoo/conditioner combo has been an effective tool in my grooming arsenal for about six years.  When I use a different kind of shampoo/conditioner, it is always a Bed Head product from TIGI, just a different type.First of all, these products are "fun."  No, you can't go out and play with them, but they're all brightly colored and the theme is geared towards yo...
