Cost price notebooks for the World Cup!

[RKS Computer Solutions]

I have decided, seeing as the Boks played such a great game yesterday, that I will be offering one new notebook every week day for the rest of the world cup at cost price + shipping.

What this means, is that every day one new Toshiba Notebook will be added to the online shop and for 1 week after being added onto the shop, the price will be the absolute minimum that it can go in a long time... After that one week, pricing will return to normal never to be seen at such low pricing again!

So, if you know of anyone that is in the market for a notebook, this would probably be the best time ever to keep an eye on our shop. Every day's notebook will be announced as soon as it has been uploaded and the timer will start ticking down on the best deal ever!

So, whether you need a replacement anyway, or thinking about early Christmas shopping, this is the place to be! Check back every day for the deal of the day and remember, it's only available at RKS Computer Solutions!



--> This is a message to all my peers, if you reckon I'm starting a price war and doing the wrong thing, sorry to hear about it, I don't care! Read my article entitled "David vs Goliath" to see how I feel about it...

That is a seriously nice Notebook for a good price Riaan! Do I need a tv license to buy it?

Hi CM,

Thanks, thought it would be a great notebook to kick off the whole thing with! And no, you don't need a TV license....

[Chatmaster]

And no, you don't need a TV license....

I just thought I'd point out that I like the graphics card and screen.

That's cool... still undecided about tomorrows notebook to go on... Will have to sleep on it! Might go for one of the nice Qosmio notebooks, that would put you in a total spin regarding features!

Are they the one's with the swivel screens or is it the 'protege' not sure how you spell it. I just can't help but to doubt the robustness of those swivel screens.

[RKS Computer Solutions]

The is generally those with the Swivel screens and being Tablet PC's, but there are others available in different ranges as well... Check out the Tablet PC range for swivel screen tablets...

The Qosmio:

Toshiba Qosmio Series - Born from the convergence of the AV and PC worlds Qosmio integrates advanced technologies to make your life more entertaining.

It's basically the pinnacle in Notebook entertainment... Top of the range specs, High Definition DVD players/writers, fancy sound and a brilliant screen....

So, you choose, do I go for a Qosmio multimedia notebook tomorrow or do I go for a Tablet PC?

Tell me... do any Toshiba laptops don't come with those glossy, glaring screens that reflect everything behind you while you're working? I can't think how anyone can work on such a machine. A Toshiba is a good machine, I'm told, but that screen is a put-me-off.

Leuce, you seem to be a "glass half empty" kind of person...

Photos of most products on the internet today is what is called "Marketing Shots". What that means is that a photo or picture of a product will be taken in such a way as to get the maximum exposure/feedback and/or information through in such a way that it stays in a customers mind for longer because it stands out from the crowd.

That said, TruBrite technology is simply amazing... Having worked on every single one of the Toshiba notebook range with TruBrite technology, you can walk outside and stick the notebook on the roof of your car, sun blazing and you will still be able to see what's going on perfectly clear on the screen...

Using it in an office or home environment, where generated lighting is used, the screens are magnificent and cannot be beaten. DVD's being watched will make you think you're watching it on a smaller TV...

Here is a link to a pdf i found re the TruBrite display of the Qosmio, but the technology is the same regardless of the line... http://za.computers.toshiba-europe.c...en-EN-EMEA.pdf

Okay, you've convinced me...

Hmm, I'm not sure about this. I have stood behind people using such glaring laptops (indoors) and it was quite annoying being able to see my own reflection on the screen, as well as the lights on the ceiling being reflected as well.

But if what you're saying about using it in direct sunlight is anything to go by, then I guess it's a case of "you win some, you lose some". You win by being able to see on the screen outside, and you lose by having to position your screen in such a way that it doesn't reflect too much light into your face. On my HP laptop, I simply can't work outside in the sunlight... but the matt screen means I don't have a problem with glare anywhere.

Halleluja, the man is positive about something!!! hehe

Really try and see what TruBrite is about, you'll be amazed... You will get some glare on any screen, but Toshiba has done something special with their technology! Seeing is believing!
