If you are a world traveler, business person or student then you need to listen up. In this episode, Steve shows you the Acer Aspire notebook. At 2.2 lbs and 10 inches in size it is the perfect notebook to carry with you on your travels. The Aspire runs on a Linux based operating system and, at a price of less than $400, the Aspire is perfect for all your word processing needs without the bulk and weight of a regular notebook.

Steve also shows you how to use your Blackberry as a modem so you can have internet access anywhere.

And on this installment of our Urban Upgrade series we will help you choose the best audio system for your space.

Steve shows us the Lenovo Tablet PC. No longer do you need to rely on your keyboard to input information – the X61 has fully integrated pen-based functions, allowing you to write directly onto your computer! This new PC is ideal for users who need an ultra-portable notebook but refuse to sacrifice durability or performance.

Steve then explores the world of VOIP, or Voice-over-IP. He looks at Vonage’s V-Portal, which enables you to check your messages on line from anywhere you have an Internet connection. 

Caroline introduces us to Weebly, a clever website building tool for non-techies. It offers a drag and drop interface for adding content such as photos, videos and maps. You can even create your own blog using this online publishing tool.
