Read all our Tech Tips: A-Z, F-J, K-O

  • P. PayPal processing
    Need to process transactions on-the-go? PayPal Tap and Go enabled card reader is specifically engineered for Aussie SMEs needing to accept card payments on-the-go via its PayPal Here app.
  • Q. Quality matters
    Sharing photos for business purposes? Remember potential customers will judge your business on the quality of the photo. You don’t need to invest in a
    professional camera, your smartphone will do just the trick with the latest devices boasting powerful 16MP cameras.
  • R. Record your notes
    Voice recording devices are quite possibly one of the handiest additions to a meeting or presentation. Simply switch the device on and it will transform audio into a digital transcription – allowing you to sit back and take in what’s going on around you.
  • S. Smartphone voice-command

    Lenovo Yoga Tablet

    With 76% of Aussies owning a smartphone2, make sure you take advantage of voice-command features for iPhone and Android with the likes of Siri, Cortana and Google Now. These should be your best friend, given you can set your alarm, send a text or schedule a meeting without lifting a finger.

  • T. Tablet turned notebook
    If the reason you don’t own a tablet is because you prefer typing or writing notes, choose a tablet that comes with a Stylus Pen, which can also be used like a mouse. For SMEs, consider how a tablet can enhance your customers’ retail experience using your chosen payment app, as opposed to a bulky cash register.
