More and more of us have made the move to a laptop computer – and the trend doesn’t seem to be fading. Wireless surfing has become part of our lifestyle. We carry the laptop with us to lunches, meetings – even when we’re just hanging around.
”Our customers are more and more into laptops”, says Irma Talvela from Cafe Carusel, one of the most popular seaside cafes in Helsinki. “During the last year we have seen a steady increase in people carrying computers with them.”
Carusel, situated in a yachting harbour in the idyllic Kaivopuisto area, is both a business and leisure oasis for the trendy urbans of the Finnish capital.
”People seem to be surfing as their pastime, but there are lots of those taking care of business as well. We see sharp dressed people having meetings around their laptops, and they of course are using our wireless network.”
Carusel is a Wippies hotspot.
”The feedback we get is quite neutral”, says Talvela. “As far I understand, that means the network is doing what it should. If there were problems, we’d surely hear about them!”
Thus, our hot tip of the season is to transport your desk to a cafe terrace, have a splendid cup of coffee and let the sun raise your creativity levels to new heights. It can only be good to your productivity, right?
While in Helsinki, you can also enjoy the other Carusel Wippies hotspot at Esplanadi, next to Kauppatori, another Helsinki must.
