Laptop or Desktop? [Uk Only]

I am finding it harder and harder these days to justify using a desktop computer. A few years ago laptops couldn't compete. They were low spec and high priced. But times have changed. If you are thinking about buying a laptop or replacing your desktop, have a look at this spec for a LAPTOP made by Medion which is going to be available in local ALDI stores on 9th August. [If you want one, I would get there early. These sort of offers sell out very quickly]
  • Intel pentium dual core processor. (Means you can get your computer to multi-task more easily)
  • 15.4" TFT Widescreen Display. This is a cinema style format which gives you more desktop space and is optimised for DVD playback.
  • 2,048MB DDR 11 Ram. Plenty memory to run Vista
  • Vista Home Premium - The new operating system takes over from XP
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 - better entertainment.
  • Re-writable multi function DVD - plays and burns DVDs
  • Wireless lan, Ethernet and V.90 modem. Every way possible to connect to Broadband and the internet. (Your network too if you have one)
  • Built in webcam (I think this is fantastic). The web is moving to video and having the webcam built in is great.
  • 2 Multi-media speakers AND 6 Channel audio out which means that you can connect it to surround sound.
  • 4 in 1 memory card reader
  • Topped off by a massive 120 GB Hard Disk
AND Software which includes Microsoft Works 8.5 and Nero Essentials
How much does all this cost? - I thought you would never ask.
£459.99 inc VAT

Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2008 FREE!

This month, Computer Active magazine is giving away "Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2008". The offer expires on October 11th so you will need to download and get the activation key before that date. (The offer could be withdrawn earlier too). WinOptimizer is a "tweaker", so the usual warnings apply. Used with care, it should keep your computer running more smoothly. This program is valued at £25, plus you get the option to upgrade to WinOptimizer 4 for only £7.49 instead of the normal retail price of £30. All together quite a bargain. You will need to go to the Computer Active website and follow the download instructions. www.computeractive.co.uk/winopt/index Eddie Subscribe to Computers are fun by Email

Joost in time!

It was only a short time ago that you couldn't sign up to Joost without an invitation. In case you don't know, Joost is at the leading edge of providing Internet TV. How would you like films on demand with no monthly subscription? Paramount films is just one of the channels available. You will need a decent Broadband connection and the interface needs a bit of getting used to, but it is an excellent service. (Still in Beta though, so expect a few glitches). Well worth having on your computer when there is nothing much on regular TV, this is definitely a "five star" download. www.joost.com Eddie PS You will have to register but it is relatively painless.
