Linx 7 - cheap Windows tablet with Intel quad core processor
I am not sure why but Linx tablets got quite popular these days. We've already reviewed couple of their most popular models like the 10 inch Linx 1010B and the smaller Linx 810B. In my opinion nowadays more people are looking for Windows tablets as they are more versatile and offer more on the go when compared to 'conventional' Android tablets.
It is good that there are manufacturers like Linx who give us the option to buy very capable Windows tablets on affordable prices.
Today we will be taking a closer look at the smallest of all Windows tablets that Linx is offering - the Linx 7.
Video review of the lightweight tennis racket HEAD Graphene XT Radical Lite
HEAD Youtek IG Radical MP is a great racket and I am still using it as my primary stick as it is versatile and ideal for club players. But there is something with it which made me look around for a replacement racket. I checked many rackets with different specs from different manufacturers but the one that grabbed my attention was the HEAD Graphene XT Radical Lite. As I am looking for a forgiving and lightweight racket I think that is one of the best choices with 102 sq.in. head size and unstrung weight of 260 grams.
Consumer overview of the amazing 55 inch curved 4K UHD 3D LED Android Smart TV - Sony KD-55S8005C
Sony KD-55S8005C curved 4K UHD 3D LED Android TV
Sony KD-55S8005C, what an amazing TV that is!
That is definitely one of hottest big screen TV deals these days. Sony KD-55S8005C just has it all - it is the right size, has all the modern features and most important of all offers an amazing picture quality. Probably the only feature missing is the Triluminos display which is usually reserved for the most expensive Sony TVs (KD-55S8005C may be considered expensive but for the features it has I would say it is a real bargain, similarly speced Samsung panel costs some 15% more).
Build quality - as usual top notch build quality offered by Sony
4K UHD resolution

Android Smart TV with built-in WiFi
4K PROCESSOR X1 - brings stunning picture quality
Price
In UK this TV is offered for less than £1400 (on sale for £1200) while in other EU countries it can be found for around 1500 Euros which is a great deal, considering all of the good stuff the KD-55S8005C has to offer.
The alternatives
Samsung UE55JU7500 - almost the same specs as the KD-55S8005C but uses TIZEN OS instead of Android which for some may be a huge downside. Other than that the UE55JU7500 is an amazing TV that costs about the same as the KD-55S8005C.
Samsung UE55JS8500 - it has some improved specs over the UE55JU7500 like the better refresh rated of PQI 1900. Price is couple of hundred bucks more.
Sony KD-55X8505C - this 55 inch Ultra HD TV is not a curved display but it offers Sony's patented technology Triluminos display which gives a cutting edge picture quality and also costs a bit cheaper than the curved Sony KD-55S8005C.
And while browsing for your next TV here's a very interesting topic we discussed recently "The most popular TV sizes on the market today"

I have been playing tennis for more than 10 years now but I've never used a racket holder bag as I never needed to carry more than 1-2 rackets and a set of balls with me. But as my game grew and it got to the level of advanced club player I decided to invest some money in my first ever tennis thermo bag.

The dilemma when choosing the better sound system - Harman Kardon vs Boston Acoustics
Harman Kardon vs Boston Acoustics
Harman Kardon and Boston Acoustics are two of my favorite brands when talking about home sound systems (JBL as well) but if I have to choose a any of these for my next system I would be in real dilema. Both brands offer some amazing 5.1 home theater systems and for the price of around $400-500 one can get a real nice deal for a Harman Kardon or Boston Acoustics systems.
Today we will take a detailed look at two of the popular 5.1 sound system offered from these brands so you would have a an easier choice when buying you next speakers.
Harman Kardon HKTS 16BQ
Harman Kardon HKTS 16BQ is a very stylish looking and also quite capable 5.1 system offered at a very good price. The MSRP is $600 but you can easily find it on sale in Amazon for $300. As a complete home theater package, the HKTS 16BQ/WQ has everything you need – including satellite bases, wall-mounting hardware and all necessary cables – in one box. And by including removable shelf-mount stands and wall-mount brackets for the satellite and center speakers, the system offers you great flexibility for installing the speakers in different locations. The HKTS 16BQ/WQ system’s five voice-matched satellite speakers with dual 3-inch (75-millimeter) mid-range drivers and 1/2-inch (13 millimeter) high-frequency tweeters are engineered to work together to produce a rich, realistic, all-encompassing sonic performance with convincing sound effects. You can even place these video-shielded speakers near your TV without causing magnetic interference. The HKTS 16BQ/WQ’s 200-watt down-firing subwoofer with an 8-inch (200-millimeter) driver offers deep, authoritative low-frequency realism that lends a richness to whatever imagery you’re seeing on screen – while remaining surprisingly unimposing off screen. While viewing an action film, you hear every crash, bang and boom the soundtrack has to offer.

Digihome 22272FHDDVDLED 22 inch LED Full HD TV with built-in DVD player
Today, at our consumers blog we are taking a quick look at another hybrid device offered by tech manufacturer Vestel. Digihome 22272FHDDVDLED is a compact 22 inch Full HD TV with built-in DVD player. I have to admit that it is not very common to see this combination of TV and DVD player in one but it is usually done with small screen TVs that would fit best in kitchens and tight space where an additional external DVD player and all the connectors may happen to be a problem. And here are the full specifications of the Digihome 22272FHDDVDLED TV:

Useful guide to buying a second hand car - Opel / Vauxhall Astra H (04-10)
Second hand Opel / Vauxhall Astra H facelift model 2009
Updated: After another 10k miles the Astra still drives pretty well for a car with price tag of under 4000 Euro. I still think this 1.6 petrol engine is not made for LPG systems as it still gives me hard times (not very often but still) with the alternative type of fuel.
Buying a used car is never easy, there are so many things to check before you make the decision for
buying one and there still no guarantees you are going to make the right choice for your next second hand car. That is why we decided to start a series of useful guides for consumers when buying a second hand hand car. Today we are taking a closer look at one of the most popular vehicles in the compact hatchback segment - the Opel / Vauxhall Astra H. This is one of the biggest competitors of the leader in the segment VW Golf where the Ford Focus is also a very important player.

Universal armrest mounted on Opel / Vauxhall Astra H
Armrest Astra H
Couple of weeks ago I found a very good deal on an aftermarket car armrest for my Opel Astra H which unfortunately didn't have the stock one. Also, it was impossible to buy a second hand stock one as the driver's seat itself doesn't have the integrated mount for armrest.
So I made a quick research and found this grey Astra H armrest for around 18 Euros which seemed to me like and awesome deal considering the fact that official Opel dealership offered me one for 180 Euros which is just way too much for an armrest.
BC-06 car MP3 FM transmitter, car charger, 5V 2A transmitter Bluetooth hands-free WMA MP3, FM transmitter - product specifications and consumer review
BC-06 car MP3 FM transmitter
BC-06 is the code name of a very interesting gadget that is sold under couple of different tech brands around the world like Diva from the Bulgarian technology manufacturer Daisy technology.
This compact 5 in 1 FM transmitter manages to be the perfect solution for cars that don't have advanced stereo systems but their owners wish to enjoy music from different sources. This is where the BC-06 really shines, as it offers music playback from different sources and transmits it through FB to your stock car stereo.
The build quality of this interesting gadget is pretty good. The only thing to complain from are the buttons which are really small and difficult to use.
How to connect
BC-06 can remotely connect to a Bluetooth enabled device like a phone or a tablet and transmit the signal to the car stereo. I have already tested this feature using my Android phone and I can confirm that it is really easy to set it up - hustle free plug and play interface and manual included in the box.
In addition to playing music using the Bluetooth connection you can also use the BC-06 as a handsfree device as it has a built-in mic.
Of course you can also use USB stick where you've uploaded all your favorite music, stick it in the BC-06 transmitter, set the preferred FM frequency on your car stereo and you are good to go.
Probably my favorite feature in this device is the USB charge port which worked just fine with my Android smartphone and recharged it pretty quickly on the go, quite useful feature, really.
Sound quality
Well, the biggest issue with most FM transmitters is the actual sound quality you are getting from them. If you find the appropriate free frequency the sound quality you will get from the BC-06 will be pretty good, Of course there will be some background noise and it will lack bass and low frequencies but after using it for a couple of days it is quite "bearable". If you are one of those guys expecting CD-like quality from FM transmitter please look elsewhere.
Price
The BC-06 car MP3 FM transmitter costs around $25 which seems like a pretty good price considering all the functionalities you are getting from a 5 in 1 device.
