Following on from its award winning Mini NB200, Toshiba have raised the bar again with the launch of its new Mini NB300 and 305 Netbooks. Packed with features and boasting an 11-hour battery life, these compact PCs look set to scoop Toshiba a host of new awards – and new fans.

Netbooks have struggled to make an impact in the computing market, with allegations of limited capability and low battery lifespans. But Toshiba have taken these comments on board and made sure that their new Mini NB300 and 305 Netbooks tick all the right boxes for discerning business users. “The Toshiba principle of packing as much as possible into as small a space as they can certainly seems to have paid off this time,” says Rob Woolley, Laptop Specialist of computer experts IT247. “The real bonus is that 11 hour battery life, meaning that you can do a full day’s work without having to be tethered to a power point – perfect for business users on the go,” he adds.

Versatile and compact

Available with either Windows 7 Starter or Windows XP Home operating systems, the Netbooks feature a six-cell high capacity battery that is neatly hidden under the casing to preserve the sleek, ergonomic design of both models. And thanks to an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processor and integrating the system’s graphics card and memory controller with the processor, the models are able to run improved performance whilst consuming less energy. “Energy efficiency is at the heart of the Netbook revolution,” explains Rob. “People who buy Netbooks want them to perform specific tasks, and if they can do that quickly and efficiently, then Toshiba have a sure-fire winner on their hands with the NB range,” he adds.

Organising your life

All models running the new Windows 7 operating system also come equipped with the LifeSpace application suite. The Bulletin Board helps users organise everyday projects and activities in a personalised way. The application, developed by Toshiba, provides a unique way to find and access stored files from the desktop through the ReelTime feature, making it easy to organise your work. “Customers who use Netbooks are generally on the go, busy people who need a system that will fit in with their lifestyle,” explains Rob. “With great organisational applications, wireless connectivity, integrated Wi-Fi and up to 250GB of storage space, the Mini NB300 and 305 are setting a new standard amongst Netbooks, and are definitely contenders against the higher spec laptops and Notebooks,” he adds.

Available from the end of January, industry watchers predict that demand for the new Netbooks is going to be high. “They represent value for money, and you get a lot of Netbook for your money,” says Rob. “I think Toshiba could be dusting off space in their awards cabinet for the NB300 and 305,” he concludes.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2008

NextAdvisor.com, a leading provider of independent reviews of consumer services, is launching its free Lost Laptop Guide to help consumers cope with the aftermath of a lost or stolen laptop.

Over 12,000 laptops are lost or stolen at U.S. airports each month according to a recent survey commissioned by Dell, and NextAdvisor.com responded by outlining some of the best ways for consumers to deal with laptop loss.

“Aside from the immediate financial loss and the loss of valuable files, a missing laptop can drastically increase your risk of becoming an identity theft victim,” said NextAdvisor.com Associate Editor Caitlin Podiak. “Fortunately, there are many precautions you can take to ease the pain of a lost laptop, as well as steps you can take to mitigate the risks and costs if the loss or theft has already occurred.”

NextAdvisor.com’s Lost Laptop Guide offers a variety of tips and tricks for safeguarding valuable or sensitive data and preventing laptop loss in the first place as well as the immediate steps consumers should take when they first realize that they can’t locate their laptop. The guide also suggests that laptop owners use an online backup service to protect important files on their computer before it is lost or stolen as well as an identity theft protection service to help prevent further victimization.

“By storing copies of all your files with an online backup service, you can be sure that if your computer goes missing all those files can be easily recovered,” said Podiak. “Additionally, an identity theft protection service can help prevent criminals from using information stored on your laptop to steal your identity.”

The Lost Laptop Guide is available for free by visiting:

Concord, MA (PRWEB) September 8, 2006

Many people rely on their laptops to stay productive while traveling. However, following last month’s terrorist threats, some airport authorities introduced no hand luggage policies and many more could do it at any time.

Many companies decided that staff should leave laptops at home rather than check them in as baggage, leaving affected employees disconnected from their work once they reached their destination. Companies seeking to enable uninterrupted access to all work related material, without a personal laptop, might choose to utilizee a secure online collaboration portal.

Even if a laptop is checked in, most airlines exclude this from any cover and will not accept responsibility for checked computers. By having data accessible on a secure web site, you can be assured that you your information will be available at the other end.

To avoid potential problems, it will be best to change the reliance on personal laptops that can get damaged or lost to a secure web collaboration site that can be accessed anywhere and from any internet connected computer.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (PRWEB) August 10, 2008

Fresh from the release of its revolutionary debut in the gaming peripheral market with the Gamer’s Desk, LapWorks Inc., the market leader in ergonomic and heat-reducing laptop desks and stands, announced today a reimagining of one of its most popular laptop desk accessories – the MouzPad. When critics called the original 6×9 MouzPad small, LapWorks listened and designed the Max MouzPad.

Built to accomodate LapWorks’ UltraLite and Futura Laptop Desks, the Max MouzPad offers users a mousing area of 9×11 inches – enough space for Web surfers, gamers, and professionals alike.

Just like the Laptop Desks the Max MouzPad easily snaps into place on, the accessory is designed to work at home or on the go. Other features of the Max MouzPad include:

Weave your wired mouse’s cord through the teeth at the top or bottom of the Max MouzPad. Don’t be a victim of missed frags caused by sliding, falling mice, even at an incline.

If you use a wireless mouse with your Laptop Desk, both sides of the Max MouzPad feature a cupped rim, providing a ledge to keep the mouse steady without harming your wrist.

The Max is sturdy as well. The super-sized MouzPad is crafted from polycarbonate plastic – the same material used to make bulletproof glass. Travel with your Laptop Desk in confidence knowing that the Futura and its accessories won’t be broken during transit.

The Max MouzPad is set to debut on October 3 at the 2008 E For All Expo in Los Angeles, CA. LapWorks will be on hand at the exposition with the new model and all of our signature laptop desks, stands and other accessories.    

LapWorks welcomes feedback from the gaming community to consider for future gaming products.

About LapWorks:

LapWorks Inc. develops and sells affordable, ergonomic portable computer lap desks and laptop stands that take the hassles and hazards out of mobile computing, and reduce the heat in laptop computers. LapWorks invented the wide-span portable lap desk product category in 2001, and is the only company making dual-purpose lap desks that double as desk stands.

Everki Camber Netbook Case as a mobile workstation

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) December 4, 2009

Everki, makers of mobile lifestyle products designed to carry and protect digital equipment, today introduced the Camber EVA Netbook Case (Model: EKS616EBK) to reconcile the age-old problem of portable and ergonomic design.

“Netbooks are great for the traveler because of their small size but using them on the road has not always been the most convenient,” remarked Vyrio Ngo, Everki USA, Inc.’s director of sales, “We wanted to design something to not only carry and protect netbooks and accessories, but can work as a mobile desk so that productivity doesn’t have to stop while sitting at the airport. No more fussing with trying to balance a small netbook on your lap or cramped hands while typing on a tiny keyboard.”

The Camber’s clever ‘incline’ design allows the outer EVA protective shell to double as a convenient travel desk or lap stand for a vastly improved typing position. A uniquely designed quad-surface dual Velcro interface strap system allows for quick changes between sling and briefcase carrying, or complete strap removal to turn the Camber into sleeve mode for stowage inside another bag. Unlike most netbook cases, the Camber also provides plenty of room for the power adapter and accessories. Convenient mobility truly meets ergonomic design in the Everki Camber.

Pricing and Availability

The Everki Camber EVA Netbook Case is priced at $ 49.99 (MSRP) and is available immediately at CompUSA stores nationwide and on the web at http://www.compusa.com, http://www.tigerdirect.com, http://www.circuitcity.com.

As with all Everki products, the Camber is backed by Everki’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and world-class customer service.

Pasadena, Calif. (PRWEB) June 23, 2006

During every war, in which the United States has been involved, civilian groups have come into existence which were composed of individuals dedicated to providing for the human needs of American soldiers and their families. Programs such as the Overseas YMCA Workers Program played a pivotal role in helping American soldiers while they were deployed and when they returned from the battlefield during World War I.

Today, during the War on Terror, many similar charitable organizations have emerged to provide for the needs of the American soldiers and their families. The memberships of such organizations are diverse and include among their ranks veterans, milbloggers, family members of soldiers and civilians. Some of the organizations exist to provide a specific need to soldiers while others exist to provide a wide array of help and comfort to those in the armed forces. A common theme among the groups is the desire to provide aid and comfort to the men and women who wear the military uniforms of the United States of America.

Soldiers’ Angels is such an organization. In the summer of 2003 Patti Patton-Bader was inspired to found Soldiers’ Angels when her son wrote home from Iraq expressing his concern that some soldiers did not receive any mail or support from home. Within a few short months Soldiers’ Angels had grown from a mother writing a few extra letters to an Internet Community with tens of thousands of angels worldwide.

One of the many projects established by Soldiers’ Angels was Project Valour IT (Voice Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops). The project was established in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, a Vietnam era veteran . SFC Ziegenfuss’s son, CPT Charles “Chuck” Ziegenfuss, was wounded in Iraq. While convalescing from hand injuries he discovered the therapeutic benefits of being able to stay connected to the world through the use of voice-controlled software and a laptop computer. He was one of many soldiers who were able to blog from their hospital beds. Out of his struggle and in coordination with Soldiers’ Angels, Project Valor IT was born.

The purpose of the project is to provide voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, wounded soldiers are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field, all without having to press a key or move a mouse.

During its initial phase, Valour-IT created “libraries” of laptops equipped with voice-controlled software for the severely wounded staying at major military medical centers. In many cases laptops are provided to a wounded hero for permanent use. Valour-IT has continued to accept donations of any amount to supply the “libraries” of laptops at major military medical centers and gifts to individuals, but has also added the option of an individual or organization directly sponsoring a wounded soldier by completely funding the cost of a laptop and continuing to provide him or her with personal support and encouragement throughout recovery.

Through donations from milblogger challenges, churches, groups of coworkers or friends, and members of community organizations, Project Valour IT has recently donated its 500th laptop computer to a wounded soldier. This project helps keep wounded soldiers from falling into depression by providing them with task-oriented activity; giving them access to entertainment and news; allowing them to sustain positive self value; and allowing them to maintain and enjoy rewarding personal contact through instant messages, email and even voice chat. In essence, the voice activated laptops provided by Project Valour IT become instant lifelines for the severely wounded soldier. The project directly and positively helps those soldiers who have given up so much of themselves to protect their fellow countrymen and gives them the ability to experience some of the small enjoyments found in daily life.    

Continuing the time honored tradition of civilian support of American soldiers, Soldiers’ Angels sponsors programs which provide support to American soldiers and their families. Soldiers’ Angels’ programs include first responder packs, support, and laptop computers to wounded soldiers who are receiving treatment at American military hospitals; care packages, letters, and support to deployed soldiers; armored blankets to military ambulances; items shipped for deployed soldiers to give children in the war zone; and memorial trees for the families of soldiers who have died in the service of their country.

If you would like more information about this topic or to schedule an interview with Patti Patton-Bader, please call James Riley at (615)676-0239.
