Mac OSX may sound like a scottish clan but it’s what apple named its operating system by incorporating X, the roman numeral for ten. before the 10.0 versions i believe it was just name the mac os and not IV as is 9 in numerals.

We at logic are busy training and developing our skills in something thats totally alien to us; apple mac’s. With the knowledge of PC repairs you may think it’s an easy enough thing to learn but you would be wrong. 75% of what you know goes straight out the window. It’s like swapping your car with an alien spaceship and then trying to reverse engineer it to find out exactly how everything works together.

We are professionals and won’t be beaten, through this extensive training that we are currently undertaking we should be mac experts within the next week or so after we master networking with windows based computers and a few other fun subjects.

One complete, we will finally be repairing mac’s! Watch this space!

Microsoft have allowed a feature in widows 8 that allows the software to be installed and run from external storage devices such as flash drives or external hard drives.

It’s unclear at this stage whether or not this feature will be available to all users or just for enterprise, there is also a small cost attached.. reportedly $50 per seat.

A safety measure built in to ensure no data loss, freezes the computer if the USB drive is removed; then allowing the user to continue after a period of 60 seconds.

It seems like more and more people are choosing to opt into a streamline tablet lifestyle, I personally don’t see that it would suit me at all.. You have to look at the pro’s and con’s of tablet computing.

If you are considering ditching your laptop or Desktop computer and just having a tablet sush and the ipad, please think about the following before you do.

Tablets don’t have built in disk drives for installing your software, printer, watching DVD’s and listening to music from CD etc. Also you obviously can’t burn all the stuff you download onto disk for other people.

If you write a lot then it will slow you down a lot unless you use a plug in USB keyboard. because tablets are small they don’t have a lot of storage space and are not very powerful.. Not good for proper photo or video editing, not good for playing PC type games.

You may at this point be asking, what good are they??? Well if you just want to use for internet and email on the move they are probably ideal for you.. If you think you will ever want to do anything more then get a laptop!

Who would have thought that flooding all the way across the world could have such an impact impact on us here in the UK.  It turns out that most of the hard drives produced around the world are made in Thailand factories, Western Digital, Seagate, fujitsu and toshiba to name but a few.

The recovery period is expected to take till mid to late 2012 and untill then the high costs and scarcity of hard drives will affect consumers across the world.  The price of an actual hard disk drive has more than doubled over the past month and is likely to increase again possibly to over 4 times the original cost!

Due to the high pricing there’s an opportunity to solid state drives to sell more if they can increase the capacity and lower the pricing.  The cost of laptops and desktops pc’s are going to rise in the next couple of months and we could be talking about an extra £100 on the cost of a computer by march.

The new verification system for Windows 8 – OA 3.0 is incurring  additional costs for ODMs and which would eventually result in  ODM’s charging a heavy manufacturing charges to the Brand vendors for the same.

For the OA 3.0, Microsoft plans to pre-install the Windows 8 operating system into PC’s BIOS and will have consumers key-in the authorization key to activate the software through an Internet connection and will completely abandon its previous method of using a COA label,according to Digitimes sources Report.

This new method would require additional time for Windows 8 installation as compared to the previous method and would cost more since microsoft will charge fees as per number of installations and as the technicians would also require to undergo training.

Microsoft is taking these measures keeping in mind the crackers agenda towards cracking new upcoming operating systems,as the history of previous Windows releases suggests it was prone to the crackers attacks bypassing the Microsoft’s OEM activation certificates.

Why is it that windows costs so much to buy when you can get linux operating systems for nothing. it will cost anyone on average of £100 for windows software and you can’t even get the coding so you can edit it to do what you want it to do unlike some of the open sources software that is out there at least you can get the coding to edit it as well and it also costs you nothing for the software.

Everyone today is always wanting things to be smaller which has brought me to this topic why buy a netbook over a laptop or a desktop pc well everyone is wanting this to be smaller so it doesn’t take up so much space.
well they maybe nice and small and take up less room but you have to mind this as well netbooks don’t have cd drives so you can’t install just buy a game or a bit of software to install as it won’t work without a external cd drive and also if any of the parts become faulty on the netbook they can be more expensive to replace and longer to get to the part as there is more to strip away to get to one part. laptops can be expensive as well but think about what extra things you will have to buy when you buy a netbook over a laptop or a desktop.

we have now partnered with a nationwide finance broker which allows us to offer customers retail finance on Laptops for as low as £11.62 per week and also our X range of Logic Desktop PC’s
