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 (The offer could be withdrawn earlier too).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

My Favourite Widget

Widgets are great little programs which can make your computer much more fun to use. When I help people who are moving from dial-up to Broadband, I love to show them the new world of streaming audio and video which has opened up for them. In the UK some of the best content comes from the BBC and we can listen to BBC radio while we work. Accessing the stations can be a bit of a pain though......unless you have a widget! For this to work you will need real player and windows media player already installed because the widget uses both of those programs. Unless you have already done so, you also need to install the Yahoo widget engine which you can download here http://widgets.yahoo.com Then you can get BBC Radio Player Plus here http://tinyurl.com/2vlrez Now you have easy access to a whole new audio world. If you are new to widgets it is well worth taking time to explore what else is available. [NB The BBC widget only works in the UK but there are many others suitable for readers in othe...
