Laptop Prices Crashing Down
For some months now I've been watching PC prices falling to amazingly low levels, but a laptop for under £100, is it possible? Elonex, a long-established and reliable supplier, have brought out the "One" with a big push under the banner, "A laptop for every child." ASUS have also brought out a very basic laptop, the "Eee PC", retailing at £199.99, truly amazing prices in my view, even with the VAT on top. But what do you get for your money? I thought I would have a look at some entry-level laptops and compare the market.
Jargon Buster
We all tend to use words and phrases we are familiar with, it makes communication so much easier and in a technical context, it makes it more reliable too. Instead of talking round a subject in vague terms and perhaps misunderstanding, it helps to use some jargon you both understand. I try very hard to avoid jargon outside of the technical setting, but it is sometimes hard to remember what terms normal people know! Sometimes it is impossible not to use the very word that has a precise meaning, so to help you I have compiled a short dictionary of some of the more common terms you might come across.
