Sonora Communications, Inc.

The vast majority of all portable computers being manufactured are made by about five large companies in Taiwan or China. These large industrial companies are called Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). They make the computers sold by HP, Compaq, Dell and others.

We purchase through a distributor that specializes in portable computers. They select the 'cream of the crop' models made by the best of the large OEMs for distribution to us.

We only sell top-shelf notebook computers from the top manufacturers. And we only purchase them from a top-shelf distributor that we have worked with for many years. The main benefits are:

• We don't have to talk to unhappy customers...never fun!
• We don't spend our time and money dealing with repairs and returns...also less fun than you might think.
• If there ever is a warranty or repair issue, it gets handled rapidly and professionally.
• You can order your new notebook PC with any operating system you want.
  • any current version of Windows
  • various versions of Linux
• Your new notebook PC won't come preloaded with a bunch of junk and 'eval' software. Those pre-loaded junk programs 'bog down' and generally 'trash' your new PC before you even start it up!
