The Notebook Company drops Laptech, adds Digitec

Johannesburg, 23 Mar 2001

The Notebook Company, the laptop and mobile accessories retailer, has added the new Digitec laptop to its range following a decision to drop the Laptech brand as a result of "market uncertainties".

According to Christopher Riley, managing director of The Notebook Company, the Digitec range would be replacing the Laptech range. "We don`t want to sell too many ranges. That spreads any company too thin. However, after confusing messages from the distributors of the Laptech range following the purchase of Laptop Technologies - and One Technologies and then Siltek taking over the distribution - we decided to reshuffle our product offerings on the laptop side."

"I expect that a lot of Laptech users are going to have difficulties. We will be able to help most of them, even with old Laptech models. We have," said Riley, "basically put ourselves in a position to service and repair almost any model of laptop, old and new."

The Notebook Company, which also supplies various mobile accessories, markets a wide range of brand-name laptops, including Acer, Asus (now Xylo), HP, IBM, Compaq, Toshiba and Mecer.
