Gone are the days when laptops looked like ugly thick slabs that focused only on performance and shunned aesthetic appeal.

Today, laptops served up to the mass consumer market do not only boast of performance and features, they also look cool. Users get to feel like they own valuable pieces of property.

One such laptop is Toshiba’s Satellite M645, a 14-inch display multimedia laptop powered by the new Intel Core i5 processor. The Satellite is part of the “premier series” of Toshiba’s brand of notebooks.

According to Michael Ngan, country manager of Lenovo Philippines, SMBs and SOHOs make up the big untapped segment of the IT market.

These businesses have particular IT needs, such as ease of deployment and use of PC hardware since many small companies maintain a small staff to manage their computer systems.

SMBs and SOHOs are also particular about the price and energy efficiency or electricity costs of PCs since small companies earn just enough, Ngan said.

Hate cables? Go cordless.

Like it or not, most hardware comes with long and unwieldy cables. Power cords are necessary, but other untidy peripheral cords such as those for keyboard and mouse are no longer needed.

Wireless input devices used to be the stuff of James Bond or Agent 99, but not anymore. Wireless mice have crawled into the boardroom of power executives who, chances are, have also used wireless keyboards in their hotel suites. From there, the tailless gadgets quickly spread to become commonplace so that it’s no longer indulgent for you and me to use wireless input devices while working in front of our computers at home or at the office.
