Sad but true fact: These days we rarely get to enjoy a truly positive customer service experience when it comes to computer hardware. Well, today I am here to share an exception to that rule. Last week I started having some trouble with my Dell 
laptop. My screen would start blinking out of the blue. The touch pad would seem out of touch. Then it started to freeze and require frequent rebooting. By Thursday the thing totally went crazy and it became clear that I was in need of some serious customer service.
Well, let me tell you – after a totally reasonable wait of less than 5 minutes, I was connected to a totally helpful Dell™ Home service rep located in Salt Lake City, Utah. We were on the phone for quite a while as he instructed my on how to run various diagnostic tests and I reported results back to him. By late afternoon the verdict was in – I needed a new hard drive, mother board and video card! I wasn’t as frantic as I have been in the past when a computer starts to get all wiggy – after the last time, I’m much better prepared for a tragedy. I’ve got online data backups and external hard-drive data backups (live and learn!) plus the laptop in question is not even a year old so I knew that whatever was wrong with it was covered under the warranty. The one thing that did have me worried was that I knew that I was leaving town on Saturday morning and there just wasn’t much time. And what happened? Before I even had a chance to explain my schedule needs, the plan was underway. The exact parts were being dispatched by overnight courrier to a technician in my area. The technician was supposed to call me after the parts were received and not later than noon and then COME TO MY HOUSE and perform the repair not later than 2 PM. And get this – that is exactly what happened. By 2 in the afternoon, my new best friend Cary the Dell™ Home Tech had replaced all the faulty components and reassembled my laptop to better than new condition. It’s running better than it did when it was brand new!
Don’t get me wrong, a computer crash is never fun. At its best, computer crash . But Dell™ Home made it as pain free is it could possibly have been. The only bummer was that I did have to restore a bunch of my programs and my data – an annoyance but hardly a tragedy. They TOTALLY took care of me and FAST.
Thought you’d want to know.

More than one kind of apple is in season right now. Along with the fall bushels of Gala, Golden Delicious, Grannie Smith and Mount Fuji delights, a new crop is ripe for the picking at the Apple Store 
.
The completely refreshed MacBook line was unveiled today at Apple’s “Spotlight Turns to Notebooks” event. The all new MacBook boasts tons of exciting new features including:
- An ultra-thin LED-backlit display that provides crisp images and vivid colors which are ideal for viewing photos and movies, and the edge-to-edge cover glass creates a smooth, seamless surface NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, a revolutionary new 3D integrated graphics processor that features 16 parallel processing cores and delivers up to five times the 3D graphics performance as previous MacBook and MacBook Air™ designs.
- Apple has invented a whole new way of building notebooks from a single block of aluminum. And, just as important, they are the industry’s greenest notebooks!
- Plus, MacBook and MacBook Pro are now equipped with a new smooth glass Multi-Touch trackpad that gives users almost 40 percent more tracking area than before, making it even easier to use Multi-Touch gestures like pinch, rotate and swipe!

Going mobile at home can be harder than it seems. We all do it from time to time – take the laptop into the bedroom or living room. Maybe into the yard on a nice sunny afternoon. What could be more blissful than a beautiful day and a frosty beverage to enjoy while you catch up on e-mails or do a little shopping. The problem – it’s just not that comfortable of convenient to balance a laptop on your lap or on the edge of a sofa or chair.
"e;Z"e; Mobile Laptop Desk – Cherry Finish 
$99 at Stacks and Stacks 
.
I’m going to solve that problem with this ultra cool “Z” cart. It gets its name from its modern z-shaped form. This handsome rolling computer desk is perfect for students and people who work from a simple laptop computer. Don’t underestimate its capabilities though; this rolling laptop desk features a bottom shelf and adjustable drawer under the work surface for organization and ergonomic correctness. Available in cherry (as shown) or a natural maple finish.

And I’m such a happy, happy girl. I am writing this on my brand spanking new 24 inch iMAC. WOW! Who knew that the world of computers could be this fast, easy and luxuriously comfortable? It’s my first MAC and I was a teeny bit nervous since it’s a whole different world of everything, but it’s been unbelievably easy.
I was also a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to do much of my real work – but I was wrong about that too. This week, Apple announced the release of Microsoft Office 2008 for MAC. Available for pre-order at Apple Store – I’m going to be making some BIG spreadsheets on my massive 24 inch screen!

Looking for a ‘can’t go wrong’ gift? Why not delight them with digital? The gift of digital photography is sure to please. A camera is a great choice for someone like me who doesn’t have one and is also a great choice for anyone on your list with an older, larger and less efficient digital camera. And for anyone you know who already has a terrific camera and uses it all the time, the accessory options are endless. Printers, digital frames and photo albums. There are even special printing products that allow the user to print sepia toned prints on textured archival quality papers – perfect for that amateur Avedon on your list.
When it comes to the world of digital photography, look no further than RitzCamera.com 
. You’ll find every thing imaginable, and loads of things you can’t even imagine! In addition to everyday low pricing, free shipping on orders over $100 and no sales tax to most states – they’ve include the inside scoop on all manufacturer’s rebates right in each product description for maximum savings. Tip: RitzCamera.com , CameraWorld.com 
, and WolfCamera.com 
are actually three different arms of the same company. If you find that your order will be taxable from one of the sites, go to one of the others. They’ve got the same products and same pricing. Sales tax rules vary by state but generally relate to whether or not a merchant has a bricks and mortar store in the state to which the items will be delivered. Thought you’d want to know.

Oh my god! I can’t even believe how passionately I am in love with my new iPhone. First of all, let me make it clear that I am totally NOT a gadget person. I could barely work my cell phone or my PDA. I even had trouble operating my iPod mini. The truth is, I probably would never have even dared to try an iPhone – I’d have been scared to death at operating such an integrated device. Oh was I wrong! I was a lucky, lucky girl this year and actually received my new 8 gig iPhone as a birthday gift last month.
Within minutes of removing it from the box, the phone was up and running with my same phone number and all of my contacts, calendars and mail accounts were synchronized from my Outlook file. Now I’m an iPhone pro – I watch YouTube videos on the subway, check e-mail in elevators and I’ve even created my own custom ringtones. I’m currently answering to Tom Petty’s classic ‘I Need to Know’! Every time I connect the phone to my computer, all my contacts, e-mail accounts, music, videos – EVERYTHING – is automatically synchronized. I never knew that my electronic life could be this fabulous. And now, instead of having three devices in my purse – I only need one. I’m in iPhone heaven. Purchase an 8GB iPhone for just $399 
and shop the entire world of iPhone Accessories 
at the Apple Store 
. Whether you need a new phone or not. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for an awesome gift for someone really lucky! No matter the reason. Go iPhone. Just do it. Trust me. Life could not possibly be better. Get free ground shipping on all orders over $50!

It’s no secret that when it comes to computers, I’m a Dell girl. I’ve always got at least one Dell machine in my office – sometimes more than one. While I love their computers and peripherals, I find their deals overwhelming. By the time I’ve logged into the website to check out a special offer I saw in a catalog or e-mail and it’s gone. I’ve solved the problem. They change their special offers every week, and the links I’m placing here are (theoretically) supposed to automatically update every Thursday with the newest offers.
Current weekly offers from Dell Business
And, of course, more weekly Special Deals from Dell™ Home
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I did this correctly. We’ll know for sure in a week!
