Dell’s new Vostro line targeting SME’s

Looking for ways to sell more computers, Dell’s Shanghai design team has come up with the Vostro line, which they want to sell to SME’s and have already been selling in China for as low as RMB3,999.

The Vista- or XP-based hardware, free of so-called revenue-generating pre-installed “trialware,” is aimed at supposedly underserved, budget-constrained companies with less than 25 people and consists of the Vostro 1000, 1400, 15000 and 1700 notebooks starting at US$449; a 200 mini-tower or slim-sized desktop starting at US$319 and a US$229 19-inch monitor.

Some sort of performance desktop is due next month. There are supposed to be automated support tools customized for small businesses that are free for the first year like Automated PC Tune-Up, Network Assistant and DataSafe Online, the last for backing up 10GB of data.

The cheaper laptops don’t skimp on features so if you are looking to get some for your new start-up or for your parents or kids, it looks like this is the one to get.

Heroes Coming to Hong Kong

Friday. 20 July. 2007. 9:55 am

On TV and in person in August.

If you watch Star TV (or download via BT) then you know one of the biggest hits on TV is the new series Heroes. TVB is bringing the show to free TV in August and rumour has it they are bringing 4 of the stars to Hong Kong to help promote it and one of them is Masi Oka – the former ILM-animator turned superhero actor; has become a breakthrough star for his amazing portrayal of Hiro, a Japanese wage slave who has the power to stop time.

The show is back for a second season this fall in the US and is much more interesting than Lost in our humble opinion, so if you are ready to commit to the soap opera-length storyline (try missing one, and catching up) and like movies like X-Men, this this is the show for you. More info on when the Heroes show up in Hong Kong as we hear it.
