Visit our Green IT Solutions section in IT solutions for more information! Tablet PCs for $1099!?Right now at Future Shop you can get a Tablet PC for the unheard of cost of $1099! That is about $500 cheaper than any I have ever seen! The model is from Hewlett Packard (TX 1000) and as I have bought one for myself, they are awesome!
A Tablet PC is a smallish laptop that converts into a book shape, allowing you to write directly on the screen. It is an incredible technology, to be sure. Slingbox is awesome!I have setup 2 Slingboxes for our business clients, and it definitely delivers on the promise of watching your TV remotely. I can't believe how easy they are to set up and how well they work! If you are thinking about buying one, don't hesitate; the setup is simple and it works great!
Don't trust retail stores for computer support / advice!I cannot count the amount of times my clients have received bum advice from big box technology stores. Most of these people are salespersons only and have no understanding of computers. It would be fine if they would admit this to customers, but they bluff and sell customers the wrong thing or give the wrong advice at every turn!
For example, I sent a client to a certain Futuristic Shop to get a wireless USB network card. The salesperson gave him an internal wired network card and assured him this was the product he needed. He could not have been more wrong! People, you have to ask yourself "if this guy is really a good IT consultant, would he be working here??" And whatever you do, don't get one of these people to assist you with your business IT needs, unless you like bad advice. Before buying new computer hardware, please let us help you!We have had quite a few clients lately purchase equipment without consulting us, and what we have been finding is invariably the wrong hardware gets purchased for their situation. Please let us assist you in finding the right solution to ensure your solution does what you want it to do. This is what we do; in these cases we know best!
