Vernon Computer Source Adds Lenovo W510 ThinkPads to Laptop Rental Offerings

Stamford, CT (PRWEB) March 23, 2011

Vernon Computer Source, the world’s largest global computer rental company, just announced that it will be adding state-of-the-art Lenovo W510 ThinkPads to its laptop rental offerings.

Vernon presently stocks about $ 40 million dollars worth of IT inventory. But by including cutting-edge laptops like the W510, the company is able to stay current with the latest industry developments.

Lenovo’s W510 is one of the most powerful laptops on the market. But Vernon Computer Source enhances the W510’s innate performance by including 16GB of RAM, making these laptops ideal candidates for business rental usage.

Offering a respectable video card, solid-state drives, a Blu-Ray disc reader and the flexibility of multiple Internet connectivity options, Lenovo’s W510 may prove itself an ideal laptop rental solution on many fronts.

But there is one final consideration to give Lenovo’s W510; this laptop was crafted with green tenants in mind. The W510 comes standard with ENERGY STAR and EPEAT certifications – guaranteeing a degree of environmental conscientiousness that goes well beyond expectations.

About Vernon Computer Source

Vernon Computer Source focuses on computer rental and lifecycle end management solutions. With a large inventory of IT equipment from tier one technology manufacturers and a global footprint, the company is well positioned to meet a variety of corporate needs.

While Vernon stocks computers, laptops and other products from the likes of HP, Dell, Sun Microsystems, NEC, Samsung, Apple, IBM and others, its relationship with Lenovo has garnished it special notice.

Last year, Vernon Computer Source was granted with Lenovo’s Distinguished Supplier Award in the general procurement category. The award recognized the efforts of the best performing companies in the mature supplier market. Out of the hundreds of possible candidates, Vernon was one of five to receive this reward.

Lenovo’s Distinguished Supplier Award was a notable honor for Vernon, and the company continues to offer a wide variety of Lenovo computer and laptop rentals.

Enterprises, small businesses and other corporate entities wishing to rent a Lenovo laptop like the W510 ThinkPad can visit Vernon Computer Source’s website or give the company a call at 1-800-827-0352.

World’s Largest Notebook Computer Forum Nears Fifty Thousand Registered Members

(PRWEB) June 30, 2005

Adam Alter didn’t set out to create the industry leader. An avid computer gamer himself, he started a site three years ago that sold notebook computers so powerful that they could be desktop replacements for gamers and business people and anyone else who just wanted a neater desk. When he realized that there was no good place where notebook shoppers could go for unbiased advice, http://www.NotebookForums.com was born. While it began with a main focus on Sager laptops – the brand Alter still sells – the site grew quickly, and sections were added for most notebook brands. “These Forums are all about our members,” Alter says. “They built them, they moderate them, and they are the ones who give the advice. With more than forty thousand members, our bank of information is pretty amazing.”

From inception, it was important to Alter that his site be unbiased. “Sager is the first Forum on the list, but that is the only help we give it. What people learn on our Forums is there are some very powerful notebooks available now that are much cheaper and often better than the big brand names like IBM and Dell. We open their eyes.” And he does it at his own expense. “I don’t like to visit sites with banner ads flashing in my face,” he says. “That’s why we don’t take advertising. Our members like the free, no-pressure atmosphere.”

The rise of Austin-based http://www.NotebookForums.com is part of a larger trend in the computer industry as the Internet comes of age. Notebooks outsold desktop computers for the first time in May, with notebooks making up 53.3% of personal computer sales, up from 45.9% a year ago, according to industry experts Current Analysis of San Diego. With more and more restaurants, neighborhoods, and even whole cities providing wireless Internet access, people are learning that they can take their computers almost anywhere.

There is another story here too, Alter says. “It’s about the way people shop today. It used to be that people had to use advertising to find the best products, but with the rise of Internet forums they have a much broader range of choices. Some of the most cutting-edge brands, like Sager, hardly advertise at all, but they rely on forums like ours to get the word out. Our members are sharp and nothing gets past them. If a product doesn’t perform they say so, and if something is good they say that too, and they give each other advice about details of each computer so every shopper gets exactly what he needs. It puts little companies in a league with the big guys, and it gives every shopper the chance to shop like an expert.”

Alter has big ambitions for http://www.NotebookForums.com. “The notebook forums are really only a small part of the whole package we are putting together to build the ultimate source for notebook information and discussion. I want the Forums to be a place so well done that the volunteer moderators wouldn’t think twice about declaring their participation and moderation experience on their resume.”

Google Redirect aka Google Virus Named Most Annoying Computer Problem of the Month

google redirect aka google virus

Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

Google Redirect wins the first ever My Computer Expert award for this month’s most annoying computer problem! Leading computer virus removal service My Computer Expert recently named google redirect (also called the google virus) the winner of the first ever “Most Annoying Computer Problem of the Month” award. This award is given out monthly by My Computer Expert to recognize the computer problem, virus, or other issue that is the most annoying, frustrating and irritating to computer users that month. It is the award given to the computer issue that most makes users want to throw their computers out the window.

Google redirect which is also known by the name the google virus was named the winner this month because of the huge amount of frustration that it causes users who have had the bad luck to get infected with it. When a user with an infected computer clicks on a Google search listing the virus redirects users to a website completely different than where the user wanted to go. It also subjects the user to frequent annoying pop-up ads. Another reason Google redirect was named most annoying computer problem of the month is the difficulty most computer users have in fully removing it.

“Unlike most viruses, this one doesn’t have any distinguishing files or settings associated with it which makes it difficult for most anti-virus programs to find it, much less remove it,” said Jeffrey Godels, President of My Computer Expert. “Google redirect virus removal can be quite time consuming because the virus is so insidious and even then many people who do it themselves fail to remove the virus completely from their systems.”

My Computer Expert

My Computer Expert is a leading remote computer repair company that specializes in virus removal, speeding up slow computers, installing software, installing and troubleshooting printer and wifi network issues and much more. My Computer Expert’s computer technicians are available 24 hours a day and are based entirely in the USA. My Computer Expert provides a money back guarantee on all remote repair services.

Some computer viruses are more insidious than others and require a lot of expertise to ensure that they are fully removed. For example, security shield virus removal isn’t achieved by some computer repair companies and software programs due to the fact that the virus attaches itself to normal programs including a user’s normal anti-virus software. With its 100% money back guarantee, My Computer Expert assures customers that it will fully remove any virus, trojan, spyware or any other infection the user may have.

Certain fixes like those required for av security suite removal are not difficult for those with a technical background but many customers choose not to undertake the fix due to the time, effort and level of expertise required.

Tungsten Graphics Announces Phase II Contract Award by ATTC, FT Rucker, AL to Extend Chromium to Support CIGS (Computer Image Generator Subsystem)

Cedar Park, TX (PRWEB) July 14, 2004

Tungsten Graphics, inc., premiere provider of Graphics infrastructure software and services announced today, a Contract Award by ATTC, FT Rucker, AL to Extend Chromium to Support CIGS.

Through funding provided by Developmental Test Command?s (DTC) Synthetic Environment Focus Group (SEFG), ATTC (U.S. Army Aviation Technical Test Center) is developing a Personal Computer (PC) Cluster based Scene Generation computer system, utilizing a Chromium infrastructure, to replace the existing Silicon Graphics Inc.

A Chromium system allows clusters of low cost, high performance, commodity computer hardware and graphics accelerators to be linked together over high speed networks in a scalable architecture. Although many OpenGL applications will run unmodified as distributed applications in a Chromium system, it?s often the case that customizations are needed to fully take advantage of Chromium.

TG was founded by Brian Paul (owner and principal author of Mesa), Frank LaMonica (former CEO of Precision Insight), Jens Owen (founding partner and former engineering manager of Precision Insight), and Keith Whitwell (senior engineer and major contributor to Mesa.)
