Sweex clearout at Easons

TerrorFirmer · 2008-09-17 15:22:28

Easons seem to be getting rid of the Sweex line which means some seriously good bargains. Up to 80% off. Some items I saw, but not limited to: 1Gb 262k color screen MP4 player w/Memory card slot, 1.3MP camera and Sennheiser earphones - 19.99 (bought one of these) Usb WiFi adaptors - 4.99 (bought 2 of these :D) USB Speakers…

^^ You can connect your bluetooth enabled mobile to your laptop using this. If can be used to install software on your mobile, transfer music to your mobile, backup and restore your contacts etc.

Is that a serious question?
If so, and looking through your phone menu is too much work, then google the specs on your phone and if you do not see bluetooth mentioned, then its not there.

Just paid a visit, they have a lot of mouses left, at €2.99.

Also plenty of keyboards, headphones, USB speakers and DVD cases. Only 1 wireless router left.

O'Connell St branch also have numeric keypads (incorporating 2 USB ports), and a couple of those USB Skype phone USB thingies.

The speakers come in two sizes, both €5. I got the larger ones (120 Watts PMPO) and they sound great for that price. They have USB and PS2 optical mice, and a miniature USB mouse which is dinky (that's a compliment btw!).

Not your ornery onager

By the way dont forget to check the wall and the island in Easons O'connell St. Dublin, there is two displays.

I was in early yesterday and spotted a couple more displays dotted around the stationery department cash desk with keyboards and a few other items kept behind glass. I couldn't find flash drives or media players but there were plenty of USB Speakers, Skype phones, headsets, USB hubs, desktop microphones, and USB numeric keypads still available.

I bought the two different types of headsets. One type is adjustable but neither are very comfortable. They do the job and at the price they're being sold for (€3), I'd say they're still good value for money and worth picking up as a backup. The regular sized mouse seemed to be only available with a PS2 connection. The mini-mouse (for portable computing) was available in USB and both were on sale for €3.

Thanks Gadgetman.

I bought the following:
" SWEEX HANDS FREE USB SKYMATE" IP003

So the question is would I be better of with the Skype Phone instead?

Cheers,

You mean THIS little bugger?

Well, it's all a matter of opinion/personal choice I'd say.

All depends what you will be using it for.

The phone is grand if all you want to do is sit back & chat.

Whereas the hands free is excellent if you are using it for support where you need to be able to use your keyboard & mouse while talking. Or even if you are chatting with mates & they give you a URL to check out, you don't want to be leaving down the phone to type it in. (while your mate is roaring down the phone "Are you still there?" )

Either way, they both work well.
