A Review of Refurbished
HP Laptops
By Max Bellamy
HP refurbished laptops can be found on their website hpshopping.com. Just enter “refurbished laptop” into their search field and browse through the current selections. (Note that Hewlett-Packard also owns and distributes Compaq computers.) There you can purchase a quality refurbished laptop for up to 30% off the new retail price.
The HP lines are named Pavilion and Omnibook; the Compaq brand offers the Presario laptop at refurbished rates.
The Pavilion line is by far the most popular. They are most suited to replace your home desktop computer, or assist any student in creating the perfect reports and multimedia presentations. They are slim, sleek, and very mobile – usually under 5 pounds. In order of performance, the most common Pavilion notebooks are the ze4000, ze5000, and ze1200. They come as cheap as $1000 from the manufacturer.
The Omnibook line is more suited to the serious home user and businessperson. They feature powerful, long-lasting batteries, interchangeable media bays, and ultra slim design – usually less than 4 pounds. These can cost as little as $1200 refurbished. The 20-30% savings is immense. They come with Intel Pentium 3, 4, or M processors. The most common lines are the 6100, 6200, and 4100 models. Ask the manufacturer or private refurbished laptops dealer for details on which Omnibook would fit you.
The Compaq Presario line is perfect for the money-conscience laptop user. One Presario model utilizes an Intel Celeron M processor to power the amazing graphics capabilities. It features 512MB of RAM and a jaw-dropping 40GB of hard drive space. It includes a DVD/CD-RW, which allows you to both play and record any DVD or CD that you wish. You can get all of these features for only $800, making it not the least expensive of refurbished laptops, but certainly a great deal.
As with most other manufacturers who offer refurbished laptops, HP offers a 90-day warranty.

How A Notebook PC Can Transform Your Small Business Profits
By Sabir Rizvi
Notebook PCs have greatly added to the increased advantage that small businesses enjoy in this era of the Internet and fantastic small business fairytales that come true, virtually overnight.
These wonderful little portable computers have put amazing power in the hands of many smart small business entrepreneurs, allowing them to make even faster decisions and take swifter action, leaving much bigger competitors in the dust and tied up in their own bureaucracy and slow decision-making processes.
Notebooks PCs now make it possible for a single entrepreneur to answer emails, update blogs and sites as well as fully transact business, even when he is on a trip. This dramatically enhances the lean and mean aspects of small businesses.
Probably the single most important thing that a notebook does for a small business entrepreneur is to further enhance the advantages already enjoyed of quick decisions and rapid response. Not to mention increased efficiency without the need for a larger work force.
For instance while on a trip out of town to solve a certain client’s problem, a small business owner traveling with his notebook, can still get lots of other work done for different clients. These days high speed mobile internet connections and internet facilities at airports, public places and virtually everywhere also enable the entrepreneurs to do all what they could have done in their offices, while still on the go.
In essence what this means is that with the right notebook system, a small business executive today is not tied to his office all the time. Most of his tasks can be executed while on the move and this includes the crucial job of supporting his clients. His notebook can comfortably and powerfully help him deal with business essentials. Indeed we already have quite a number of small business owners who have thrived tremendously by taking advantage of this new way of doing business.
This high tech work style of doing things eliminates the high costs and inefficiencies associated with having to be in the office to get certain things done or requiring higher staff levels to accommodate increased business that is only seasonal in nature. This in turn allows a small business to charge even less for their services and products which often results in increased business volumes delivering dramatic leap in revenues and profits.
