Sick of spending on expensive ink

Q: I'm a teacher and I print hundreds of pages a month for my classroom. I'm sick of spending so much on ink. Will an Epson EcoTank save me money?

A: Epson EcoTank printers come with a ridiculous amount of ink — enough to print 6,000 colored pages. So, let’s do the math. Let's say you average 300 pages a month. You won’t have to buy ink for the next 20 months. That’s almost two full years! Think about how many traditional cartridges you'd have to buy in that time. And once you do run out, EcoTank refills are so much cheaper.

Check out the full line up at Epson.com/ecotankkim.


Strangers using my Wi-Fi

Q: I heard you talking about neighbors stealing your Wi-Fi. Aside from slowing down my connection, what's the big deal?

A: It’s going to be a big problem if your neighbor is using your wireless network for illegal activities. And it’s your name attached to the account when law enforcement gets involved. Here's a guide to protecting your network. 

While we're talking about Wi-Fi, there's another step you should take to protect yourself: Use a VPN. ExpressVPN encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes — plus it's fast!

Small business tech help

Q: I run a small business, and I don’t have the budget for an IT person. I’m worried about wasting money on tech that’s not quite right for what I need or blowing my budget on software that doesn’t fit my needs. Help!

A: Running your own company is stressful, and it can be overwhelming to figure it all out on your own. No matter your business needs, Dell can help. Reach out to Dell's Small Business Technology Advisors for a free one-on-one consultation.

Learn how Dell can help you find the right solutions for your business.
