Use Microsoft's Office 2010 Beta for FREE for 10+ months! Save $$$

Microsoft allowed millions of people to try their new Windows 7 operating system for free for almost a year to ensure popular support and gain maximum exposure.  Now Microsoft is taking the same approach to both the Home & Student edition of Microsoft Office 2010 Beta and the full-featured Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Beta edition geared towards business users.

Microsoft is allowing users to fully use the Beta version of the above Office 2010 productivity packages to gain user feedback with the hope that you will opt to buy the full retail version when the Beta period expires in October of next year. That's over 10 months of free use!  Having tried the product and listened to user reviews, don't be afraid to use this Beta, as it's been very stable and is a great option for people who would prefer to stick to a known Microsoft product rather than try to use open source alternatives like "OpenOffice.org" or "Google Docs".  Plus, think of how far ahead of the learning curve you will be, compared to your peers, when Office 2010 officially launches in the Fall of 2010!

Microsoft Office Home & Business 2010 Beta is available at the following link:

Click here for the Microsoft website for Office Home+Business 2010 Beta

While the Home & Business edition (which includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and OneNote) uses Microsoft's new Click-to-run streaming technology (we think it should be renamed Apps On-Demand) to launch the Office applications with a minimum of installation, if you have trouble or want the more traditional full installation then try Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Beta at the following link (it has all of the above Office Home+Business programs plus Publisher and Access):

Dell Deal of the Week: The Dell Inspiron Mini 10v XP Netbook, Save $70!

In a month, the Windows 7 onslaught will arrive with a host of new laptops featuring the new OS as a standard installed feature.  Along with the year-end/Christmas selling season, HotTorontoDeals.com expects some great price competition to come.

Dell.ca's deal for $329 for the Del Inspiron Mini 10v XP:

Another great Stereo and dock/clock radio for your Apple iPOD/iPhone for just $59.99

iLive DVD Home Music System (IHMD8816DTBLK) for $59.99 from BestBuy Canada

Looking for a great dorm room gift? Or just a great deal on a fully featured Apple iPod/iPhone/iTouch accessory.  Yesterday we mentioned BestBuy Canada's deal on a nice little Logitech Pure-Fi iPOD dock/clock radio. 

While actually going in to pick up the Logitech unit at a local BestBuy, we noticed the iLive system pictured for $10 less! The Logitech Pure-Fi would have better sound, but the iLive unit had a basic CD/DVD player built-in, which proved to be enticement enough.

Having purchased iLive iPOD audio accessories before, we know to expect low-cost, plastic, but feature rich products, at great prices.  The last iLive boom box purchased took some abuse before finally refusing to turn on after two years.  You get what you pay for, but at $60 bucks this new unit was a great deal. Once purchased, unpacked, and set-up we were surprised and don't plan on returning it.  It had a great feature list:

• Built-in basic clock radio with sleep
• Included tiny Bose-style creditcard-size remote with station presets
• AM/FM/CD and DVD player built-in (DVD cable out via included RCA red/white/yellow cables)
• Aux-in/Line-in mini connector for other MP3 players (cable included)
• USB and iPOD Dock connector for most iPODs and iTouchs (adapters included)
• Head-phone jack
• CD can play MP3 or audio CDs
• Detachable speakers with included 5ft cables

When trying out the radio and attached Apple iPOD, we were pleased by the sound, general loudness and stereo qualities that only detachable speakers can provide.  For $60, the manual was better than nothing and the slight hum that he units built-in power supply makes that can be heard at very low volumes.  All in all the trade-off for a better brand, warranty (only 90 days) and a tiny hum versus all the features made the gift recipient quite happy.  The iLive DVD music system should be available at Bestbuy.ca and in stores at $59.99 until September 10th or longer.  Bestbuy charges about $15 for an extended warranty (which we didn't get), for all the detals click here.

Remember, both Futureshop.ca and Bestbuy.ca are currently running web-only Labour Day sales that end at 10am on Tuesday September 8th, only on their online stores. Since www.HotTorontoDeals.com does not deal with refurbished merchandise, none of the deals we saw sparked any recommendations.

Best Deals on a Great Samsung Laptop from Futureshop, that even a gamer would like! Plus the great little Logitech Pure-Fi speaker system for your Apple iPOD Lovers!

All the past laptops recommended on HotTorontoDeals.com have tried to balance several factors for the average home and small-business user (price, features, performance, brand, quality); today's recommendation adds some features for the more advanced user but also at a great price.  This is an especially attractive deal for a parent that needs a get a computer for someone that likes to play technology demanding video games.  While most laptops have "integrated" graphics that share memory with the CPU, this Samsung laptop has a seperate ATI Graphics chip with 512mb of its own, so it won't use memory that the CPU could use for itself.  For basic to moderate gamers, this 512mb card will play most games while advanced gamers will likly have to spend well over $1000 for a more advanced card with more graphics memory.

UPDATED! Checking the latest Futureshop.ca flyer (week of August 14-20), the HP Laptop above goes up to $599.99.  Still, having checked Walmart.ca, Staples.ca and Bestbuy.ca, both the two laptops remain great bargains and the best deals at the moment.  Those shopping in person can try talking to the FutureShop sales person and try to get the HP at last week's price or maybe ask them to throw in a mouse or carrying case.  Work's best if you ask on a slow night at the end of a shift.

One last tip, with Microsoft launching Windows 7 this fall, HotTorontoDeals.com recommends that if you can wait until November or preferably Christmas and get your new Windows laptop then, when most laptops will have Win7 pre-installed. The above laptops are great bargains, but only as long as you are willing to use Vista or go the upgrade route later.  Your thoughts, as always, are welcome.
