The good bits - excellent keyboard (compared to some others); good screen (although highlighting can make it difficult to read sometimes); fast (if it can find an answer, but see below).
Bad points - if it can't find an answer (crossword solver) it doesn't always tell you, it just keeps looking until you clear it; only 13 letter anagrams allowed (up to 15 sometimes required for the Telegraph crossword!); insufficient synonyms presented (a previous Oxford Thesaurus based solver was much better); unnecessary redirection through Dictionary is required to get to Thesaurus.
Overall, though, it is good value.

Its great for crosswords. Saves a big pile of books on our dining room table. We do crosswords while we eat our main meal!!! I'm ordering another one for my 83-year old mother's birthday. Its a family thing - solving puzzles.

Not happy with this product. I selected this Collins because I thought it would be one of the best, but not so. When using the dictionary the explanation given does not give many alternatives to explain the word I am looking for. It indeed looks to be a very short version of a dictionary. It also needs a backlight, because it is quite hard to read in certain lights. All in all, if I had the chance I would like a refund, or sent an alternative.

Does not do enough
This Dictionary/Thesaurus did not come up to my expectations. Both Dict/Thes do not give many alternatives. Search for words is to slow. Read more
