Laptop-Power UK News

You only need to switch on the news to realise these are pretty dark economic times we are living through. The worrying bit is that 2012 doesn’t look like being any better than 2011, and if anything it could get worse. Laptop Power UK is predicting a boom in the laptop spares replacement market. The days of popping down to PC World to buy a new £400 laptop simply because of a small problem with your previous laptop may be behind us.

What customers are looking for in the current environment is value. This is different from price. A £5 laptop charger that lasts 2 months is not as good value as an original £30 laptop adapter that last 4 years. Let’s face it, no matter how bad the economy gets we are not going to go back to the stone-age in terms of technology. This means that the demand for high quality, good value, original laptop parts is going to be on the rise over the next couple of years.

Whether you have lost your laptop charger, you have cracked your laptop screen and need a replacement, or you are becoming increasingly frustrated at the poor laptop battery life you are currently enjoying – get in touch with Laptop Power UK. We are the UK’s largest distributor of original OEM laptop spares, and we pride ourselves on delivering premium quality products and lasting repair solutions to our customer base at the most competitive prices on the market.

As a company not lacking in ambition, Italy is the latest country to receive a Laptop Power website launch. The website follows the same translated format as those currently launched in the UK, USA, France and Germany. As Director Andrew Roughley commented, ‘With a population similar in size to the UK and as a country who have traditionally been pretty savvy with online search and payment, Italy was the obvious next step in our expansion. With a dedicated distribution centre now set up in Italy, this allows us to serve the Italian consumer with original laptop parts to a level not currently available to them.’

Italian customers will be able to checkout using Paypal as well as all major credit and debit cards. Next day delivery options are available on all laptop chargers, laptop batteries and laptop screens in all areas of the country. Laptop Power IT will offer the exact same range of laptop parts, backed up by an Italian speaking customer service team. Mark Roughley stressed, ‘Unlike many online websites who throw up shell websites which have been google-translated, we aim to offer a completely localised solution in Italy. This has involved a lot of cost for our company in employing dedicated Italian CSR’s however we are confident of record growth in the Italian marketplace for Laptop Power IT over the next two years.’

Determined to have the most extensive range of stocking locations of laptop spares in Europe, there are still further plans for European expansion. If you are a foreign customer be sure to check-out Laptop Power UK’s full range of international websites to ensure you choose the closest stocking solution to your destination country to economise on shipping costs and reducing shipping times.

All the talk at the moment is about smartphones and the expected payment functionality that is going to be built into them to make online payments a breeze. Once the online payment functionality is built in, the expectation is for more and more transactions to be concluded for through smartphones as opposed to merely browsing activity.

This has some interesting implications for a company like Laptop Power UK. If you have lost your laptop charger or notebook adapter, or you have cracked your laptop screen, or have a faulty laptop battery – then there is a good chance that you may not be able to successfully get onto the internet via your laptop. More search friendly and purchase friendly smartphones could be a boon for the laptop spares market in that it provides another channel for customers to order.

Management at Laptop Power are committed to making sure our website is as mobile friendly as possible. Already enjoying some great online statistics from mobile sources, we are committed to ensuring our website is seen as the premier destination for customers looking for laptop parts and looking to purchase through mobile media. We expect there to be some big changes in this area during 2012, so we will keep our customers posted.

The BBC released an article last week suggesting the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in the UK has found a link between Wifi use on laptops and a reduction in the sperm count of the laptop user. The article shies away from drawing a direct conclusion from the studies, however the online blogs seem to suggest people are at least thinking about the issue.

One thing beyond debate is the fact that wherever possible users should not use a laptop on their lap for protracted periods. There have been some reports of very nasty accidents as well as a plethora of studies also trying to link this type of laptop usage to lower sperm counts.

Here at Laptop Power UK we advise users to read the articles for themselves and draw their own conclusion. What is clear advice though is to avoid using the laptop for long periods on your knees. Always remember to tuck your laptop charger lead away so it is not likely to get tripped over. As well as protecting your laptop adapter from damage, it also reduces the chances of a broken laptop dc socket and also a cracked laptop screen as a result of tripping up over the lead. Using a laptop sat at a desk may also save expensive repair bills as well as looking after your health.

One of the best known and biggest selling laptop manufacturers, HP, have launched their new range of HP Pavilion G6 Series laptops to rival the likes of the Dell Inspiron 1545, Laptop Power UK can reveal. The Inspiron 1545 laptop was hugely popular due to its reasonable price, good specifications and colourful design. HP now aim to follow this trend with their G6 Series.

The first thing to hit you is the sheer range of options available. There are many models available including the HP G6-1075SA, each with slightly different specifications to suit your requirements. Choose the processor, hard drive size, RAM or even the colour of the laptop to suit your taste and budget.

The price will start from around £350 for the HP G6-1009SA if you shop around and go up to around £800 for the  top spec with large 750GB hard drive, 4MB RAM and the Intel Core I5 processor. This laptop is sure to be able to handle the rigours of multiple applications and programmes but it may be a step too far to expect the newest games to appear seamless while in an on-line match.

With a choice of striking colours available with the HP G6 laptop, you may see a lot of brightly coloured notebooks around, with other manufacturers sure to follow suit making a nice change from the boring black and grey we are mostly used to.

Of course there are a wide range of add ons available and it looks like with the competitive pricing and aggressive marketing, the HP G6 Series laptop will be a big hit in the shops.
