Péter Mihály, Managing Director, NotebookSpecialist
I was born in 1975 as the first child in the family and now I have 3 brothers, and 2 sisters.

I’ve founded the company 10 years ago, in my flat and it started out as a family business. Our competitors sold the products in offline shop, and no one used the internet frequently but we did and now we are specialists in the portable products (notebook, tablet, phone).
