Help picking workstations

I run my own business and I could use some help choosing laptops and computers for my team. Where should I start?

If you're not a total tech geek, figuring out what to spend your money on is seriously stressful. We use Dell OptiPlex and Precision workstations at Komando HQ, which are on sale right now. Really, though, you need help finding the right models for you and your business.

Dell Technologies Advisors can guide you. They have financing options, too, and can help you get everything set up correctly.

Check out the sales here, then call 877-ASK-DELL to find technology that can help your small business.

Is cloud backup safe?

We used to do a lot of file backup online but with all of the hacks and ransomware, we're trying to figure out the best way to back up personal and business files. Any suggestions?

Cloud backup is still the way to go. You just need to make sure you're using a safe, reliable company to get the job done. My pick is IDrive. Your data is encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption on transfer and storage. You can set your privacy to the highest level by creating a private key for your account during signup. That means no one but you will have access to your data.

For personal storage, you can get 5 TB of storage a year for just a few bucks. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout.

Another happy customer

Yesterday I again went to buy printer cartridges for my HP desk jet printer. Another $55 for a black and tricolor cartridge that will last me just over a week. The aisle in the store was crowded and to avoid waiting I went around to the other end walking past the new printers. I turned my head and caught a glance of Epson EcoTank printers sitting on the shelf. Long story short, I bought the ET-4800 because I had heard you promoting Epson EcoTank printers. Wow, am I impressed with the features and this printer! Thank you for honestly promoting them.

I'm so glad to hear this! The EcoTank comes with a ridiculous amount of ink right in the box — enough to print a whopping 6,000 color pages.

Check out Epson EcoTank printers at a Best Buy, OfficeMax or Office Depot near you, or shop online at Epson.com/EcoTankKim.

Protect your data with the VPN Kim trusts

Big Tech is supposed to safely handle our personal online data, but now they’re getting into the political game. I don’t want to be any part of that, and neither should you. That’s why I trust and use ExpressVPN.

These Big Tech companies match your internet activity to your identity or location by using your public IP address, but with ExpressVPN, no one can see your IP address — no one.
