How to Buy a New Computer for Less from Viewpoints Industry

Computers do not last as long now as they did before. To find and buy a new one, Viewpoints Industry proffers some suggestions about how to buy a new one for less.

A brand-new computer is much like a brand-new car. Everyone wants the latest, greatest model with all the bells and whistles. But no one wants to spend a lot of money to get it. Thrifty people know how to shop savvy for what they want for less money.

Consider what purpose the equipment is needed. If it is just for browsing the Internet, checking and replying to email, paying bills and other lightweight tasks, consider a computer with less bells and whistles.

Consider a refurbished laptop or desktop. Much like a previously-owned vehicle, it has been examined, cleaned up and problems are corrected. It runs just as well as a new one but costs far less. Conduct an Internet search on refurbished computer from the manufacturer desired.

Consider upgrading. Many desktops can be upgraded for far less than ditching the old and getting a new one. Add more memory to it or increase the hard drive space with an external drive. Ask friends and family who are computer smart for help.

Viewpoints Industry also suggests waiting for sales on the types of equipment wanted. These are when the best deals can be found and when consumers can save money of some spiffy new digital toys. Happy computer and laptop hunting, readers.

Viewpoints Industry Reviews How to Choose the Best Luggage

Summer is here and we are amped up to hit the road or the skies. Viewpoints Industry shares tips on how to choose the best luggage for your needs.

The little signs that it’s time to replace a suitcase are now flashing like road hazards signs: the handle is coming loose, wheels are falling off, or the fabric is ripping. Why do we dread shopping for new luggage? Perhaps because there is so much to choose from in a variety of price ranges. But it’s not really that hard to find the right piece of luggage. Just keep these points in mind:

What do you need it for? Business or pleasure or both? How much do you usually pack for a four day trip or a two week trip?

Will an overhead bag fit into the airline’s overhead bin? Does it meet the airlines’ size and weight restrictions? Can you life it over your head to place in the overhead bin?

Does a two-wheeled bag move more easily than one with four wheels?

How much interior room does it have?

Is the exterior fabric waterproof and rip proof?

Where do you want to buy your new luggage – in a local store or online?

Viewpoints Industry TV likes to buy new luggage locally because it allows us to test it in the store for both ease in movement, and to see if it’s easy to lift. When buying online, read about 10 reviews for a few items you like before purchasing. Remember to look for a lifetime warranty on luggage pieces if you travel a lot. Choosing the best luggage for your needs does not have to be a chore. Have fun with it.

Viewpoint Industry Shares the Best Career and Life Advice for Grads

An copy of the best graduation speech was printed in the national newspaper over Memorial Day weekend from Admiral William  McRaven. It reminded us of the small things we can do every day to be successful no matter what career choices we make. Viewpoints Industry shares some of the points he made.

1. Always make your bed in the morning. This is the first, small task to complete that will propel you to complete all the tasks on your list.
2. Choose the right people to help you. By now, most grads know who is in their corner and who is not. Keep those who are supportive and helpful close and keep distance from those who seem to put you down or find some glee in your failures.
3. Attitude makes the difference. We didn’t say ego, we said attitude. A positive attitude is infectious and can be clearly seen by those who meet with you. The one thing that matters more than anything else is a good attitude.
4. Keep moving forward even when you get knocked down, laid off, or rejected. There are many times in life when we get bumped off course and soundly flattened on the ground. Make the choice to get back up, dust off and keep moving forward. Those who can rebound from failure of any kind are the ones most likely to succeed in whatever they do.
5. Face adversaries straight on and don’t back down. Foes can be bosses, co-workers and even friends. Take them face on. Be calm. Remind what you are made of.

ViewpointsIndustry TV encourages readers to find and read the full text of Admiral McRaven’s graduation speech to students at the University of Texas-Austin. Everything he said resonates in today’s business environment and life in general.
