Top 10 Reasons to Get a Better Business PC Experience As a small or mid-size business, your PCs are essential tools that affect everything you do. Upgrading to Windows* 8 Pro and Office* 2013 or Office* 365 running on the latest Intel® processor-based PCs presents an opportunity to get a radically improved set of tools and reduce costs and security risks at the same time. Can one simple choice help you increase efficiency and respond better to customers and opportunities? Absolutely, when it gives you new ways of working and fully leverages your existing IT infrastructure.
Get 3x more business done.
Get more work done and serve customers faster from more locations. Everyday computing is more than 3x faster than on a four-year-old system,1 with responsive performance and true multitasking. New mobile form factors let you respond to opportunities from virtually anywhere and instant-on technology wakes the system in less than 7 seconds.2
Great ROI is more affordable than you think.
All this speed and new capability has to be expensive, right? Actually, no. today’s newest models that are thinner, lighter and faster are available for $200 less than what you paid for your old one.3 In addition, PCs older than 4 years have 50% more problems than newer PCs, have a 30% higher cost-per-repair, and cause 110% more lost hours.3
Reduce PC maintenance cost and downtime.
A new system has fewer problems—33% fewer problems, than a four-year-old system. And if a repair is necessary, repairs on new systems are 24% less expensive. Not only does a new system save on repair cost, but fewer lost hours—50% fewer—means your employees are more productive.4
New devices for the new business workforce.
Get more flexibility to equip each employee with the best tool for their job. The new All-in-One PCs get rid of the tower but not the power and are available with multitouch screens. Ultrabooks™ based on the Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor are less than an inch thin and include built-in manageability and security. Tablets running Windows* 8 Pro offer all the flexibility of a tablet and the power of a PC. Ultrabook 2 in 1 devices offer the flexibility of both a thin laptop and a tablet in one powerful device.
Better security for you and your customers.
New business PCs and tablets with Windows 8 Pro are built for business and engineered for advanced security—so your critical business data is protected by the very latest security technologies such as Intel® Identity Protection Technology.5 Combined with Windows 8 Pro and Office security capabilities, they deliver unprecedented embedded protection for your business.
Maintain broad compatibility with your current tools.
By upgrading to Windows 8 Pro, you maintain compatibility with virtually all your existing business software tools and peripheral devices. Windows 8 Pro seamlessly supports more software technologies that you use now—such as Sage, Adobe Flash,* HTML 5, and Microsoft Office*—than any other operating system. Because you don’t have to replace existing IT infrastructure, your previous investments are better protected.
New ways to get business done.
Windows 8 Pro was built to work great on both touch and non-touch systems. You can take full advantage of everything Windows 8 has to offer with a mouse and keyboard or touch. Plus you will experience faster boot times, longer battery life, less memory usage and access to thousands of new apps from the Windows Store. You don’t have to choose between an advanced touch device and a hardworking PC, because you can get both.
Access all your apps, all your data, all the time.
With a new thin, light and durable business-class mobile PC or tablet, you can access all of your favorite Office products from your home, office and anywhere in between. Plus these devices give you more ways to work with touch, pen, mouse, and keyboard capabilities.
Share files and applications more easily.
Share files and info with customers and coworkers, or between apps. File Explorer has been enhanced with more options for managing your files, and copying your files so you can pause large jobs and view progress of multiple copy jobs at the same time. Task Manager has new features making it easier to manage the resources on your computer, including which programs load when Windows starts to shorten bootup times.
More ways to collaborate and connect with customers.
More speed, more apps, more battery,6 more security, more ways to get work done, all of which leads to more business, more satisfied customers, more productive employees, and more profits. Windows 8 Pro and Office 2013 or Office 365 running on an Intel® processor-based system takes your primary business tools to the next level of effectiveness and ease of use.
