Summers are plagued by rain and wind and then we have to endure the whole icy winter wishing hoping dreaming that the view outside our window will be filled with the deep crispy whiteness of snow. Everyone knows it should be sunny in the summer and snowy in the winter but the weather just won’t co-operate. Take matters into your own hands and use new Instant Snow in a Can – it looks and feels like real snow! A perfect addition to your stack of Christmas gifts novelty gifts don’t get better than this. You can even make the Instant Snow in a Can part of your Christmas decorations. Just pop open this magical can and add water to the sachet of white powder found inside you’ll soon have your living room looking like a winter wonderland. You needn’t worry about the mess a couple of days is all it takes for the snow to dehydrate and then you can vacuum it up or spray some more water on it to get that Christmassy feeling all over again. Features: A sachet of snow sealed in a Christmassy can. Just add water and you’ll soon have more snow than you’ll know what to do with. It dehydrates after a couple of days making it very easy to vacuum up. Spray or add more water on to keep the snow going for longer. 20g of powder makes 1.5 litres of snow.

Product Description
This superb notebook/laptop cooling mat uses a macromolecular compound for the absorption of excess heat. This compound remains in crystal or granular form up to temperatures of 25ºC. The granuals will slowly absorb any heat and will change their molecular appearance, forming a viscous gel that will continually absorb heat and allow any item in contact to dissipate its own heat output. When a laptop computer is placed on the mat, the mat will absorb large amounts of heat from the notebook base. It is able to do this without disrupting any of the natural flow of air through the notebook’s cooling vents. It allows more than 5 hours of continual usage, depending on the ambient environment and amount of heat produced from the notebook, without the need for providing any form of external power. Under natural conditions the crystals in the mat will automatically reform as the temperature falls below 25ºC, allowing it to be used over & over again.
- Extends notebook life by decreasing its operating temperature
- Suitable for use on the lap, soft or hard surfaces
- Portable – take it everywhere with your notebook, easily fits into any laptop bag
- Compatible with all types of notebook/laptop

Great product, 26 April 2008
This review is from: devolo dLAN 200 AVeasy (HomePlug AV) Starter Kit – Eth/ Eth (Electronics)
These were out of the box and working within a couple of minutes. One plug was patched into a broadband switch/router courtesy of the auto-uplink feature, and the other was connected straight into a PC’s Ethernet port. This connected fine at 100Mbit/s, which was the speed of the PC’s network card. Because it’s using the standard network port, no extra drivers are required on the PC, and worked just as well with a Linux based Eee PC as a Windows based box.
There are some restrictions on how you can connect these Homeplugs. According to the accompanying leaflet, they must be connected directly to a wall socket, not through a power-extension strip. They must also be on the same mains ring, which shouldn’t be a problem for most homes but might be an issue in the workplace.
These dLAN 200 plugs are not cheap at around £60 per connection, but are a bargain compared to the cost of getting network cabling & sockets properly installed, and much tidier than running ethernet cables on the floor. If you’re not planning to stream HD media, consider the cheaper 85Mbit/s Devolo Homeplug , which isn’t going to be much slower for most purposes, or Wireless LAN (54Mbit/s). Both of these would be fine for typical web-surfing, gaming or occasional file transfers. But if you want to stream HD media around your home and don’t want the expense and effort of laying Ethernet cables everywhere, then these are what you need.

Very easy to install, 21 Jun 2008
This review is from: devolo dLAN 200 AVeasy (HomePlug AV) Starter Kit – Eth/ Eth (Electronics)
The dLAN 200 was very easy to install. I connected one to my router and the other one to my PC upstairs. The documentation says that they should be plugged directly into the mains socket however I plugged one into a 6 way extension and it works fine. Both of these were not on the same ring main (although they are connected at the distribution board) but this did not cause any problem.
Each plug has it’s own ID no. and MAC address. The software on the supplied CD was easy to use – it automatically detected the one that my PC was plugged into. I just had to enter the ID no. of the one my router was plugged into and everything was connected.
I searched around on the internet and on ebay and found Amazon to be the cheapest and with free delivery ! I would recommend these for anyone who is experiencing poor wireless coverage or who wants to stream video around their home.

Am I just really unlucky?, 18 Jan 2009
This review is from: devolo dLAN 200 AVeasy (HomePlug AV) Starter Kit – Eth/ Eth (Electronics)
I went for the Devolo AV Easy devices because of all the positive ‘up and running in a few minutes’ style reviews. My PC can recognisxe when the device is plugged in directly to it but I can’t do anything with it – the DLan configuration Wizard claims ‘no DLan adapter is found’. Tried plugging into my modem/router (Netgear DG824M) and the Netgear management software does not even see the device.
Later edit: I tried contact Devolo support via email. Expect a 2 day response to any email – including any followups. Had explained that I thought it was a hardware fault but responses I got were along the lines of ‘upgrade the firmware’ which is very poor since I explained in the email that the computer could not see one of the devices – making a firmware upgrade impossible. After a week of unsuccessful emailing I phoned their support line and immediately had it confirmed that I had a hardware problem.
Explained to Amazon who sent a new pair out immediately and these worked fine. My rating now would be – the hardware 4 stars, Devolo email support 1 star and the Devolo phone support 5 stars.
