LAPTOP Launches "Mobile Makeovers" Notebook Upgrade Video Series

How-to videos teach budget-conscious consumers how to transform old notebooks into state-of-the-art systems.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 6, 2009 -- LAPTOP--Mobile Solutions for Business & Life, the leading mobile technology magazine and Web site, today released the first video in the Mobile Makeovers series. In this series, LAPTOP (www.laptopmag.com) is teaching today's cost-conscious consumers how to transform aging notebooks into high-powered, state-of-the-art machines by upgrading just a few inexpensive components.

Recognizing that many consumers have tightened their budgets in the current economic climate, LAPTOP's Mobile Makeover Team is demonstrating that it's not always necessary to buy a new notebook when a system starts showing its age.

"When users first bought their notebooks, they fell in love. Fortunately, they don't need to spend big bucks to rekindle that romance," said LAPTOP's Online Editorial Director and Lead Geek Avram Piltch. "All they need is a screwdriver, a few inexpensive parts, and the right instructions. We'll provide the guidance they need." In addition to saving money by revitalizing their existing systems, consumers will also be helping the planet, by keeping their notebooks out of a landfill.

The first Mobile Makeover showcases LAPTOP's Mobile Makeover team transforming a five-year-old old Sony VAIO notebook into a media hub, enabling its owner to watch movies and TV shows via iTunes or on Web video sites like Hulu.com, store over 100,000 songs, and browse the Web all on her TV. Upcoming Mobile Makeovers include upgrading a dated notebook into the ideal notebook for a back-to-school student and converting a dust-collecting system into the ultimate business notebook.

LAPTOP's Mobile Makeover team can be seen in action at www.Laptopmag.com/MobileMakeover.
