The Latest Tech Toys For Families

The very fact that you are reading this is proof enough that you are a trendy, tech-savvy, yummy mummy – you know your way around your computer and are certainly no stranger to the wonders of the virtual world. But when was the last time you stopped to think about using technology to create fun family time?

With kids running around the house, a super-busy schedule and never enough hours in a day, it’s easy to take things like computers for granted.  Making sure you have the right technology that fits your hectic lifestyle can make the day-to-day much more manageable, and fun!  We know this is something all moms strive for.

Your family computer can be as much fun and conductive to quality family bonding as a ski trip or a day in the park. It all depends on how creative you are. From desktops to notebooks to netbooks, Dell and Intel are making computers that can keep up with you and life’s little surprises.  Here are some fun tips and cool PCs out there that can turn the family computer into a beehive of great family activities.

Are you a Mom on-the-move?
With kids and a to-do list a mile long, you’re never in the same spot for more than 15 minutes.  Never be tied to a desk again with a Dell Studio notebook or Dell Mini netbook, with Intel Inside!  These options are great for working in the family room during naptime, looking up recipes online in the kitchen, or playing your favourite tunes while watching the kids! 


Is it a computer… is it a TV… wait it’s both!
The Dell Studio Hybrid, one of the smallest, sleekest and greenest PCs ever, allows you to watch, pause and record live TV with an optional TV tuner. This sleek looking petite desktop can sit pretty much anywhere in your home including the living room thanks to the choice of nine interchangeable external finishes and colours.


Thinking Green?
Living an environmentally friendly lifestyle can be challenging when you’ve got so many other things to worry about. Leave it to us. The Dell Studio Hybrid desktop, powered by Intel’s energy efficient processor technology, uses 70 per cent less power than traditional desktops.  Now you can conserve energy to reduce that electrical bill and contribute to saving the planet!

Love to do 10 things at once?
Moms are the ultimate multi-taskers.  With Intel’s Multi-Core Processor Technology Inside, Dell’s new computers will have no problem keeping pace with your busy lifestyle.  Need to download photos, do your online banking, shop, write e-mails and catch up with the Yummy Mummy Club at the same time?  No problem...Dell and Intel have got you covered.

Want to relive those precious moments?

So you had a wonderful holiday and can’t wait to see relatives and friends turn green with envy while viewing  your photographs. But editing and uploading hundreds of photographs can be a pain as well as very time consuming. Well now you can turn this tedious task into a fun family activity with a cool family computer. For instance, the Dell Studio One 19, powered by Intel, allows easy multi-touch photo editing and slideshow creation.

And once your photos and video are ready to be shared, use the single-touch feature to upload them to YouTube or Flikr.

Have a budding little musician or artist in the family? Unleash the talent!
Encourage kids to use your family computer to hone their talents and you’ll be amazed at how much fun you can have together. The sleek Dell Studio One 19 all-in-one PC comes with an optional touch capability that allows kids to paint on the display with the You Paint finger painting software. So, go right ahead and unleash the talent! And the best part? No messy clean-ups and scrubbing off paint spilled by the little Picassos. Kids will love being allowed to put their fingers all over the screen! And those with musical talents can create their own musical masterpieces with the multi-touch percussion center.

Love to put your own style into everyday life?
