Refurbished HP Devices

We are going to receive several pocket PC’s refurbished by HP – ipaq 114, 214, 614, hw6915… available in French, Spanish and Italian.

Purchasing refurbished computer equipment is a smart way to do more with a limited budget.

Many customers buy refurbished products because they've found that their business applications don't require the latest technology - or sometimes, because they prefer a uniform computing environment that'll save on software migrations, they seek out early generation hardware to match what they already have.

 Please visit your own country. Limited stock!

IFA 2008 : toujours plus fins !

Lors du salon IFA 2008 à Berlin les fabricants ont dévoilé de nouveaux modèles de LCD et plasmas 4 fois plus fins que leurs prédécesseurs, moins de 1 cm pour les plus extrêmes (Sony KDL40ZX1) !

Cette prouesse est notamment due au déport du tuner et de l’électronique qui se retrouvent dans un boitier externe qui propose même une liaison sans fil chez plusieurs fabricants.

En plus de leur finesse quasi hypnotique, ces écrans haut de gamme bénéficient de traitements d’image toujours plus performants et sont aussi de plus en plus légers (22 kg pour un 50 pouces)

Série 8 chez Samsung, ZX pour Sony, XS chez Sharp,… faites de la place sur vos murs !
