Leave a comment

When you need the power to be able to create, present and work on the move, you’ll find a Samsung Slate PC from BT Business Direct makes light work of it all.

In the past, different machines have often been the best option for different tasks such as taking notes, creating documents and reports, giving presentations, and carrying out online research….but the Samsung Series 7 Slate PC will prove that there’s now a solution that can perform all these jobs with perfect poise.

Its thin and light design means it’s a Powerhouse PC with the portability of a tablet. An Intel core i5 processor handles the most demanding of jobs with ease, allowing you to decide how you want to most comfortably input data on the Samsung Series 7 Slate, by either touching or writing on the screen, alternatively typing on the full-featured keyboard.

Weighing in at less than two pounds, and measuring just half an inch thick, it’s a PC you can truly take anywhere. You’ll always be able to see clearly what you’re doing, wherever you are, thanks to the SuperBright Plus screen, which is twice as bright as a standard laptop display.

Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, it also means you can stay in touch no matter how remote your location.

“Wanting to minimise the size of your working PC has until now, meant having to compromise on many of its features, and replacing it with a business tablet PC wouldn’t really carry all the power of a PC” said Kimberley Beck, Samsung Specialist at BT Business Direct.

“Samsung has now proved with this latest model that the power and capabilities of a top-end Laptop can indeed fit into the chassis of a slim, light, ultraportable and unbelievably stylish ‘Slate’ and can go with you anywhere.”

Available from stock today, the Samsung Series 7’s diminutive dimensions and light weight mean it can be delivered on a day of your choice for as little as £5.34 extra.

OCZ solid state drives now available at BT Business Direct

Leave a comment

Solid state drives (SSDs) from computer hardware manufacturer OCZ Technology are now available at BT Business Direct. The new Synapse Cache SSD, released late 2011, can add speed and higher performance to even older model PCs and so is gaining the most interest on a wide consumer market right now.

OCZ Technology releases new high-tech SSDs on regular bases, driving the innovation into every angle of SSD technology. This includes the new Synapse Cache series that enable any computer to enjoy the increased performance of SSD. This technology is independent from hardware, unlike others and can be used on any modern platform.

A standard SSD + HDD setup will make one program fast and the other slow, load one game quickly but the other lags off the scale. The OCZ Synapse cache SSD will integrate with the hard drive becoming one storage solution and dynamically manage the entire storage capacity of the hard drive. It is the typical example of ‘Best of Both World’; full capacity and full performance.

The Dataplex software makes the integration of SSD and HDD possible. The SSD stores‘hot’ data (files that are accessed often) on the high-speed SSD, while ‘cold’ data (files that are less-frequently accessed) are stored on the HDD. Once you have booted your PC with the OCZ Synapse SSD installed, it will start cache immediately. And after two or three reboots the fast responsiveness of the computer will start improving dramatically and the more it is used, the faster it will become.

Vivienne Kennedy, Category Manager of BT Business Direct said: “These SSDs are the ideal addition to any work or home PC and can help to improve running speeds and make accessing files a quick and easy job. We are very pleased to be able to stock them, but customers should buy now in order to avoid disappointment.”

Both the 64GB and 128GB versions of OCZ’s SSDs are available at BT Business direct now and retail at £87.49 and £134.16 respectively.

BT Business Direct Introduces the HP TouchPad – Works Like Nothing Else

Leave a comment

Featuring WebOS, Beats Audio and Adobe Flash, the HP TouchPad, now available at BT Business Direct, is the perfect solution for ultra-portable computing in meetings and day to day business use.

With Tablet PCs now becoming more prevalent and boasting impressive statistics they have always been a potential business tool, whether demonstrating web designs or note taking. Now, leading Computing brand HP has launched the HP TouchPad – the first tablet PC with business use at heart.

Multitasking is one of the unique selling points of the HP TouchPad for business. It allows businesses to work with multiple applications at once, and effortlessly switch between them thanks to the intuitive WebOS and the Calendar App that provides an at-a-glance overview of all of the essential information business users will need.

With collaborative work made possible with Google Docs and wireless printing to a wide range of compatible HP printers, the HP TouchPad’s abilities help make many common tasks effortless and convenient.

The HP TouchPad also works seamlessly with the HP Pre3 Smartphone. With HP’s Touchstone technology it is easy to share emails, web pages and text messages by simply touching the two devices together. In situations where users find a useful website on their Pre3 mobile phone they can touch the HP TouchPad and instantly view the same page on a much larger 9.7” vibrant display.

Jade Tomlinson, Category Manager at BT Business Direct said, “The HP TouchPad has been highly anticipated for some time now, since the initial announcement many business owners have looked on the HP tablet PC as one that suits business use down to the ground.

“At just 1.6lbs and using the Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual-CPU the HP TouchPad is an entirely acceptable business laptop replacement and looks great in meetings, presentations or checking emails on the go thanks to Wireless-N WiFi capabilities.”

There are two versions of the HP TouchPad in stock and available to order from BT Business Direct, the 16GB and 32GB versions, priced at £332.49 Ex VAT and £399.00 ex VAT, respectively.

Effortless and Productive Business Printers from Samsung Now Available At BT Business Direct

Leave a comment

Businesses of all sizes need a printer that can keep up with their fast pace and produce high quality documents. With the new ML-5510ND and ML-6510ND mono laser printers from Samsung, printing has never been so easy and effective.

With business printers used frequently throughout the working day and by many members of staff, a common complaint from business owners is that their printing solutions are not as effective as they should be. Paper jams, limited connectivity and high costs are just some of the problems that they have cited as being real drains on productivity and funds.

“Our business customers have often said to us that their printing costs could really do with being lower or that the number of problems they have had with their current printers have caused many problems, from low quality documents that reflect poorly on their businesses to delayed document printing that can make them late for meetings or miss postal deadlines,” said BT Business Directs Print Category Manager, Nadine Roache.

“With a reliable brand in Samsung we are certain the latest line of business-focussed mono laser printers are up to the task. They have many beneficial features, chief of which being a printing speed of 54 pages per minute on the ML-5510ND.”

The printers have a wide range of money and time saving features such as a one touch‘Eco mode’ that with the touch of a button prints using less toner, prolonging the lifespan of toner cartridges for internal or draft documents.

With an onboard 700mhz dual-core processor, the Samsung printers are built with speed in mind, and with Gigabit network connectivity they are perfectly suited to a networked environment with multiple workstations and employees printing from the one printer.

As well as speed, the ML-5510ND and ML-6510ND both boast large paper capacities, with some configurations able to store over 1,000 pages, meaning less time spent on adding paper to the printer and less delays when staff are trying to get documents printed quickly.

UK Business computer and technology retailer, BT Business Direct, stocks a large range of ePrint enabled printer products from leading print manufacturer – HP, allowing users to print from any mobile device, wherever they are.

BT Business Direct, one of the UK’s leading business laptop and business printer providers has urged companies to consider the new range of LaserJet and OfficeJet printers that include HP’s innovative ePrint technology, providing total flexibility when it comes to printing documents.

The technology allows mobile workers to print from practically anywhere. Users can email the documents they wish to print directly from any computer or mobile device, as well as many popular smartphones including IOS, Blackberry and Nokia all of which have an HP ePrint app available.

The new printers address the concern that many businesses have that users need to be in the office or using a particular computer to be able to print documents, photos or charts. With ePrint you can get documents printed from anywhere at any time.

To ensure security, each printer is given an email address that is completely random and is not publicised in any way, ensuring only staff are able to send documents to a printer.

Nadine Roache, Category Manager at BT Business Direct was enthusiastic about the new HP ePrint solutions, commenting: “The new ePrint range of both OfficeJet and LaserJet printers have helped to address a common frustration that our customers have shared – not being able to print easily when out of the office.

“The ePrint system provides a number of options for users to send their documents to their printers whether it is via the ePrint software for PC or Mac, the dedicated smartphone app or by emailing the printer directly.
