starting a new co. can be daunting....You have to offer something special for customers. The something special in your case would be setting-up a training course for ubuntu so prospects would feel excited about the product. I would load up a demonstration model and promote heavily the ease of obtaining almost limitless programs for free (synaptics)

buy laptops in bulk (look on craigslist) and you can get good deals. Using the same model is better than many different models.

new bussinesses strugle for their first five years in this country, alot off good ideas die away due to things that are left lacking like management, advertising and the tax man.

[bulmer247]

First Things First

1. Will be able to ship abbroad

2. spects will be posted on website when its done and ill post a link when its complet

3. Laptops will be avalable if the company expands and grows

[bulmer247]

Do you think this company will be sucsesfull

To make it simple im starting with one pc then if it takes off ill introduce a second modle and then upgrades ect

The key is advertising

How are you going to support your customers? people expect to be able to call you when something goes wrong.

[bulmer247]

good question

What i am thinking is setting up the pc's befor they are sent of so if somthink gose rong they can call me on like a saterday 1-2 or sumthing like that and they can click a button and it will allow me to control there pc. I can allready do this so i can repear it if it gose down. If i cant fix it ill pay to have it sent back move all there files down onto a nother pc send it back and fix then dismantle the old pc and sell the parts as second hand even though there practacly new. Depending on how long they have had the pc, and or if it was there falt or not. So if it is there falt they would haft to pay for the repear and if its the pc's fault ill do the steps iv stated in this text



Thanks every one keep the questions flowing your making me think about things i would not of thought about if it wernt for u
