About Us
Affordable Portables was founded on the premise that portable computing
does not require a huge investment. We have found that as the speed
of the computer hardware increases exponentially, the availability
for older quality merchandise increases.
Laptops provide the ability to have that computing power
with you at all times. With a laptop and a modem, the world of information
is at your fingertips.
Our philosophy is to stay just behind the new cutting edge computers
and get you the biggest bang for your buck. We understand some people
have requirements for very sophisticated computers. Through our
experience we have found that most consumers can not afford an investment
like this, or refuse to invest this amount of money for something
they really don't need. If you have done any type of portable computer
shopping, you know by now that you can spend well over $2000 on
the latest cutting edge equipment. We try and provide portables
that can handle realistic needs like, word processing, spreadsheets,
databases, Internet access, etc. The hardware demands is less for
these needs and so is the price. We ask all of our customers, "what
is it you want to do with your computer." Most of the time,
the answer will fall within our computer structure.
The question of warranty and useful lifetime is a common question.
“Will I be outdated by purchasing an older laptop?”
The answer lies in which software you will be utilizing.
For basic word processing, spreadsheets and Internet, these
computers will function well.
For graphical and large database work, they may be limited
in performance. As to warranty, the majority of our computers come
off of a two-year lease. We
purchase these computers in large lots and refurbish them to the
original manufacturer specifications.
After the laptops are approved they are on the web site and
ready for delivery.
We warranty all of our products and provide a seven-day window
to return any computer not meeting your expectations.
Affordable Portables offers additional benefits. Most companies
brag about having knowledgeable associates. This company hires the
best associates. By qualifying an individual correctly, setting
up the computer to his/her needs, and not over or under selling,
we have achieved a great deal of success in our four years. We will
continue this philosophy - one laptop at a time.
We have created a business plan that reaches our market in two
main avenues. First, through weekend computer trade shows. We cover
the nation from Arizona, to Wisconsin down to Florida.
The trade schedule is on our site if you want to see if we
are going to be in your area.
Through these shows we are able to show the actual computer
as well as meet our potential customers.
As I said earlier, you will be impressed with the associates.
Secondly, we use the Internet. By maintaining competitive pricing
and inventory in stock, we have sold over $700,000 in our first
year. The total sales
for the company over $5.5 million.
We hope to gain your confidence and your potential business. Give
us a call or order on the web and let us help qualify you into your
Affordable Portable.
