Ah Friday! Mythical day of the week, and the ideal opportunity for workers across the world to dust down their wallets, and prepare for an evening of socialising with chums!

But with still an hour or two to go, till the office has fully wound down – then why not pop over to one of the best websites in town, gaj-it.com – who are offering free stuff galore. You see, to help celebrate the launch of Toshiba’s new help forum for laptops called,‘Answers from Laptop Experts’, they are teaming up with the generous folk at M80, to giveaway 5 x 2GB MP3 Players.

And not only is the forum an excellent place to get a whole heap of answers for any problems you may have, but to win one of their shiny new MP3 players – all you have to do is leave a comment in the comment box here before Friday October 17^th…

And as Ben tips – “humour, interesting facts or even some good old fashioned flattery about Gaj-IT or Toshiba could help your case”. So go win!

Believe it or not, talktoshiba.com is not the only place online to feast your eyes on a whole host of Toshiba information, pictures and such – and those with a toe firmly dipped into the waters of the Social Media, and a facebook account to boot, would do much worse than to follow this link. Enabling you to become a ‘fan’ of ‘Toshiba Notebook Computers’, and as with all similar groups, enabling you to post pictures, comments, discussion pieces and more – pop by and have your say with other like-minded Toshiba types.

Currently boasting a nice few pictures from the recent Work @ Play, Play @ Work event in Singapore, not to mention a whole lot of product images – there are also videos, event invitations and assorted comments about all things Toshiba.

The Toshiba Portégé R500 has been shouldering its way firmly into the blogosphere over the last few weeks, with a whole heap of reviews and opinion generated about the slimline notebook. As reported on Talk Toshiba itself, the 12.1” screen, and the 7-8 hours battery life have received particular plaudits from a number of bloggers – with forum posters speculating on exactly how the Portégé shapes up against the Macbook Air (rather well as it turns out).

Therefore, being a blog of the people – we’ve been chatting to Toshiba, and can proudly announce that we will soon be in the position to offer some sparkling Portégé R500 laptops for you to trial. Whether you’re having computer problems yourself and need a stand-in device, or are puzzling over whether to buy an R500 or one of its rivals – do give us a call.

All we need is for you to post your feelings about the device, be it good or bad, within Social Media space – so if you’re interested, just email us details of where you are active online (blogs, forums, twitter, pownce, facebook, YouTube – whatever) and we’ll let you know if we can help. It would be great to hear your opinion!

Also, just to whet your appetite, take a look at this trailer for the notebook itself…
