Samsung has launched three additions to its notebook range – the all new ultra-lightweight X-series: X520, X420 and X120. The X-series features Intel’s latest ultra-thin, dual-core mobile processor technology, and a six-cell battery. With a slimline design, the X420 weighs in at just 1.76 kg, the X520 2.09 kg and the X120 1.36 kg. Other features include a robust and durable casing, crisp LED displays (15.6”, 14”, or 11.6”), integrated web camera and High Definition graphics. The X-series' HDMI port enables you to connect your notebook to a bigger screen, and you’ll get high speed wireless LAN, Bluetooth 2.1, three USB 2.0 ports and a 3-in-1 memory card reader. The Samsung X120 is available this month, with the X520 and X420 coming in October.

Vodafone One Net
Vodafone One Net is a hosted service offering small to medium-sized businesses one number for landline and mobile phones, one voicemail for all messages, one contract, and the option of one flat price for all fixed and mobile calls. Ensuring businesses are able to work effectively whether in the office or out and about, customers can switch between their mobile and landline phone depending on where they are. You can opt to pay a predictable flat call rate, per user subscription, with the cost of the call remaining the same whether fixed or mobile. The Vodafone One Net service also offers customers the opportunity to have a virtual switchboard, fully hosted by Vodafone UK, which can support businesses with multiple office locations. Rather than having a fixed switchboard, Vodafone UK takes care of the management of communications between locations, routing the call via the most effective channel. One Net also offers call quality monitoring.
