What do you love/not-love about your laptop... have you seen any awesome pre-fin-year sales on these laptops?
I use a 13" MacBook Air and I *love* it's battery life, light weight, and robust construction. I travel a lot, and when a carry-on bag is limited to 7kg every gram counts. When I'm at my desk, I have it hooked up to a 24" external screen, position...

VoIP phone systems vs mobile and landline alternatives?
We couldn't survive without our VoIP system, and can't imagine a situation in which we would consider reverting to landlines. Because we travel a lot, it's really convenient to setup 'temporary office' at a location and plug the phone into the...
