Is This The Perfect LIP Laptop?

Posted by Lea Woodward

I seriously, seriously want one of these…Sony VAIO TZ90. It’s the ultimate LIP laptop in my opinion…perhaps one to be upgraded from my current Sony Vaio SZ3.
P.S. For all you apple-lovers out there, only if Apple consider slimming down their brick macbooks would I ever consider one. They’re far too chunky, clunky & heavy for [...]

I seriously, seriously want one of these…Sony VAIO TZ90. It’s the ultimate LIP laptop in my opinion…perhaps one to be upgraded from my current Sony Vaio SZ3.

P.S. For all you apple-lovers out there, only if Apple consider slimming down their brick macbooks would I ever consider one. They’re far too chunky, clunky & heavy for serious LIPs…that’s why J’s bag is always twice as heavy as mine.

Aside from the obvious business tools required for a LIP business (email, skype etc.), the following are tools which help me keep things running as smoothly as possible…

  1. Camtasia - for screen recordings, presentations and ‘how to’ demos. The latest use I’ve found for this is to record ‘how to’ instructions for my new VA (virtual assistant).
  2. Online Appointments Scheduler - keeps things simple if you work with clients & allows them to book themselves in to available slots in your diary.
  3. Online Invoicing - makes billing clients & customers really simple.
  4. BackPackIt Organiser - I use this to keep simple to do lists, useful notes & links.
  5. Firefox browser - being able to customise my browser and add all manner of widgets & add-ons to it enables me to quickly access everything I need to & have the information I want (like times in different time zones) at the hover of a mouse.
