Deciding Between the Two Good Gaming Laptops on the Market

When you are out shopping for computers, you will see that they are often put into different categories that they are built specifically for. Gaming is no different and since it is more popular than ever, there are plenty of good gaming laptops to choose from. Two of the more popular and most affordable laptops are from Alienware and Sony.

Alienware is the big gaming company out of these two and has machines up and down in price points that will do just about anything that you want. The Area-51 M15x sells for about $1,200 and has a 2.8 GHz processor and 4GB RAM already installed in the machine. This translates to about 150 MPH when you are playing your games.

If you want to spend more money, Alienware will give you a machine that will pretty much blow everything else out of the water. They are always a good option because regardless of the price point, you are probably getting the best machine available. You can probably go down a level in price and still get a better machine than what you will see from someone else at the next price point.

The closest competitor in this price range would be the Sony VAIO NW180J/S. It actually costs about $200 less than the Alienware, but the technology and performance are not even close. This is no to knock the Sony, but you get so much more bang for your buck out the Alienware laptop that it is hard to pass up.

Just because laptops for gaming are close in price, it does not necessarily mean that they are anywhere near in quality. You have to really check their components and whatever you do, don’t get too loyal to any one brand. If you are a Dell or Sony loyalist, you have no idea what you are missing out on by passing by Alienware.…

The Little Extras That Will Help Make the Xbox 360 Kinect Worth Its Weight In Gold

The first thing anyone thinks of when they think of the Kinect is simply the motion capturing interface technology. But this is only one piece, albeit a large one, of the overall puzzle.

And even an otherwise informative Xbox 360 Kinect trailer may not bother to mention those little side features that can help push someone over from ‘might buy’ to ‘definitely will buy.’ Keep reading along and you’ll see no stone left unturned in this straightforward list of what ELSE this still sizzling-hot product offers to the public.

The similarities to a webcam are truly undeniable and an important part of the appeal once noticed. One can leverage the camera and microphone equipment on the Xbox 360 Kinect to hold chats and video conferences with friends.

This is, however, more limited than a standard webcam, since currently only Xbox’s Live service and the Windows Messenger can be used for this purpose. On the other hand, if you’re in the middle of using your Kinect and not your computer to begin with, this is likely to be ample enough connectivity to friends anyway.

That mic comes in handy for other things, too, such as generally interfacing with your Xbox. While the linguistics aren’t as fully fleshed out as they could be, general audio commands should be easy to use whether you’re calling your new Kinect a nuevo Xbox 360 Kinect or just plain ‘that new doohicky.’ Expect basic navigation features with just a voice, instead of having to fumble for a remote control or game controller.

Interestingly, this also applies to other forms of media. Want to watch a movie? You can tell it to stop or start, pause or go to a particular scene, with either your voice or a hand wave. This is clearly the first cresting wave of the future – a future where your Xbox 360 Slim Kinect, your movie-viewing system, and other television-based peripherals are all working through wireless communication. And it’s an unmissably beautiful sight for those interested in the bleeding edge of the evolution of tech in the home.

The Xbox 360 Kinect price, even with these features, is a far from negligible one. But knowing how much you value these extras will hopefully help you determine whether to buy now, wait for a price drop, or avoid it entirely. Don’t forget to look up a Xbox 360 Kinect review or two if you’re still having trouble deciding!…

Blast Caps Business Review – Does Yoli Make The Grade?

This article will review Yoli, now nearly 2 years old and living in Salt Lake City, Utah.

If you are reading this, you are probably considering Yoli as a home business opportunity. With its novel Blast Cap technology, does Yoli make the grade? What do you need to be successful with Yoli? This article will break it down for you and help you with your research.

Background: Founded by former Xango stars, Yoli is steeped in direct marketing experience and knows how to work it well.

Yoli distinguished itself in pre-launch status as taking its Blast Cap technology to market in MLM form. Blast cap patented technology stores the active ingredients separate from liquid, preventing the need for pasteurization and preservatives.

Products: The enclosed cap of the Yoli drinks contains powdered freeze-dried ‘superfruits such as pomegranate, ace, lyceum (goji) as well as other anti-oxidants such as reservatrol and white tea leaf extract. Active enzymes, probiotics and minerals have also been added. Yoli contains no sugar, artificial sweetener or colors and has a low glycemic index rating.

Competition is stiff and includes the likes of Xango and MonaVie. An 18 oz. bottle of Yoli’s first product, The Truth Citrus Health Blast, costs only $3.99. Yoli pricing is competitive.

Compensation: Yoli offers 9 ways to earn with the most lucrative being the hybrid binary network model.

The structure is rather complicated and best reviewed by visiting the Yoli site for schematics. Depending on your rank within the structure, commissions range from 5-10% and can include sales volume generated by a downline recruit recruited by someone in your upline, a departure from traditional MLM models.

Training: Yoli has created a comprehensive training program. It is promoted as a “complete turnkey training system that covers everything from the basics, to social networking, prospecting, recruiting, leadership development, and more.”

Nonetheless, the social media and internet marketing skills do not appear to have the depth that is needed to guide a newcomer to the desired level of success.

Alert! The power of your Yoli business is entirely dependent upon your ability to recruit your downline and get them producing powerfully.

Besides being fully knowledgeable about the expanding Yoli line of nutritional drinks, you must know how to brand yourself to lead and build your business.

Without mastering social media and internet marketing skills, the blast cap technology could be a bust for your home business.

It doesn’t have to be that way. If you connect with an experienced mentor who will give you the tools to learn internet marketing, you can market just about any product successfully, especially Yoli.

Learning the necessary skills to build your Yoli business is the best investment you can make in the long term. Those skills will insure long term success for your home business. Once acquired, Yoli and its blast cap technology stands a strong chance of making the grade and it will be A+.…

Social Media Training – Before You Sign Up

Social media training abounds no matter where you live. Everyone is getting on this marketing bandwagon including social media coaches, business coaches, web designers, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts and advertising agencies. (My apologies if I left anyone out.)

So let me ask you a simple question: Why are you investing your hard earn profits on this marketing strategy? (Business Coaching Tip: Any dollars you invest outside of accepted direct costs and indirect costs are profits.)

Are you doing it because you heard all the buzz about it?

Are you doing it because you believe you need to stay ahead of your competitors?

Are you doing it because you realize you must become more proactive in your marketing initiatives?

These questions all suggest that your first step before you sign up is to return to your strategic business action plan and specifically to your marketing research. When you step back to your marketing plan, you will be able to answer these questions:

Who is my target market?

Why would they buy products or services that I offer?

What market changes are happening here locally, regionally, nationally and globally?

Next is to look at your current marketing goals specific to your website. Social media is about attracting attention using Internet websites and then eventually sending those potential customers (a.k.a. prospects) back to your website. This leads to these three questions:

What are the goals for your website?

Are there some other actions to be taken before engaging in social media?

How will you measure the results of your actions?

The final consideration before signing up is to return to your marketing plan and review your executive marketing summary that evolved from your core positioning statement. For if you do not have a compelling message, how will you attract someone’s attention in 140 characters or less? What may happen is you will sound like everyone else, hawking your products and services instead of educating and providing value.

During the last 10 years, I have observed a lot of marketing confusion for many small business owners, single office/home office (SOHO), entrepreneurs, C Suite executives and Independent sales professionals such as realtors, financial advisors, insurance agents and medical practitioners. Consequently, these folks fail to realize the desired results given the enormous amount of resources they expended. As my good friend Doug Brown has so often said “People confuse motion with progress and activity with results.” Business Coaching Tip: An activity is not directed to any predetermined desired result versus an action that is clearly connected to a specific written goal.

If you are considered social media training, good for you! Just make sure you have done your homework so your resources of profits, time and energy yield sustainable results.…
