Why not spend it wisely?

Like on this brilliant new laptop from Asus in our spotlight this month. It's LED backlit display increases battery life. It's shiny casing makes it look super sexy, and the thin, lightweight casing really makes it portable and great looking.

If you are after a new laptop for the new financial year, please consider an Asus laptop. All Asus laptops come with piece of mind 2 year word wide warranty. If you travel, rest assure. If something happens to your laptop, pop into an Asus repair centre and get it fixed. You can't do that with a Sony VAIO.

Why does Harmonytech support Linux? Because it's better.

Why is Linux better?

Linux is open source. Open minded, open to use, open to modify to your needs. Linux is maintained by enthusiastic people who want a better computer experience, not a money hungry organisation that just wants to keep their shareholders happy. Collectively, there are more open source developers than all proprietary software developers combined.

Linux is stable and secure. It is maintained by people that get what they want, and they want a stable and secure platform to work from. It's frustrating when your computer crashes. Linux rarely does. And you can be assured of your security because Linux is secure from the start. Unlike Windows, which is totally un-secure and needs Anti-Virus software, Anti-spyware, anti-spam filters and so one.

Linux has a regular update and upgrade schedule. Unlike Microsoft's "It'll be released some time next year.... maybe".

In business we are constantly looking at ways to improve things. To make money by saving money and more importantly time. Why settle for anything less with your computer systems? Why spend 10 minutes each day updating your anti-virus software? Why have your computers performance compromised just to keep it safe, Linux was designed to be safe from the start.
