Laptops for Dummies!
There has been a development of a new laptop which has recently been launched to make a computer system be manageable for a novice user.
There is a new laptop called Alex which is built for simple minded people that tend to get frustrated by using a laptop from a range of suppliers that might include, Dell. It is important for you to realise there are many types of users and I feel that Alex will hit the market by tackling old users that are less computer literate and are being encouraged to learn about how effective laptops can be.
Based on Linux, the laptop comes with simplified e-mail, web browsing, image editing and office software.
Those who sign up for Alex pay £39.95 a month for telephone support, software updates and broadband access.
Its creators hope the laptop and its simple suite of software proves to be a popular alternative to the Windows and Mac operating systems.
For their monthly fee, customers also get anti-virus software and 10GB of storage space on the Broadband Computer Company’s servers.
Back to basics
As well as communication tools such as e-mail, Alex comes loaded with a suite of open office software including applications compatible with Microsoft’s Excel and PowerPoint file formats.
The desktop is more comprehensive than that of Simplicity, a computer aimed at older people launched by TV presenter Valerie Singleton in 2009.
Mr Hudson said the company also intends to launch an application store for Alex for customers who want to add more features and functions to their computer.
