Dell to double Chinese outlets

Dell has been struggling to keep up growth over the last couple of years due to dominance of tablets and smart phones. It has therefore had to expand it’s reach to chase growth. To do this, it has decided to expand further into the Chinese market. At this stage, the company has really only targeted the bigger Chinese cities however now it will increase penetration over the next couple of years.

Consumers are currently moving more and more towards portable computing and easy to use devices. Microsoft has tried to combat this with it’s new version of Windows which is both compatible with PC’s and tablets.

The fall in PC shipments has been swift and fast and many companies are struggling to find other avenues of income to combat this. The most logical area which companies can seek more customers is in developing countries. China was a logical choice for Dell purely due to the number of potential consumers.

In Australia, you can get a great deal on a Dell PC. A Dell promo code is generally offered to consumers which can be used to give significant discounts on the retail price.

Beppu – Japan’s hidden treasure

One of Japan’s hidden treasures for travel is the small city of Beppu which is located on the island of Kyushu.

Although rarely mentioned, Beppu is well known for it’s hot springs which are both beautiful to see and great to experience. The hot springs are nick named Hells of Beppu and is one of three great hot springs located in Japan.

Beppu is considered to be a relatively small city and is actually on the coast of the island. It is surrounded by mountains and it’s location makes the city long and relatively thin in shape. Due to the small size of the city, you can actually explore the place by just walking. To get to the hot springs however, you should probably take a bus or taxi.

The most popular site is called the eight hells (or Jigoku in japanese). This is a multi-colour volcano pit with boiling mud and water.

There are a good selection of hotels available in the city centre, although not that many. For a good deal on a hotel, check out Booking.com. Find a 10% off Booking.com coupon here and you will get a good deal on accommodation.
