In 2010, River Run Computers will be giving you tangible reasons why refreshing your hardware can affect your bottom line. For now, know that new workstations running Windows 7 Health ITProfessional will bring you up-to-date with the latest technology, enabling you to truly get more done with less. Here's how:
Simplify:
Workstations running Windows 7 Professional feature things like Quicklook 3 and Quickweb, making it possible to access vital information on your desktop or the web in a matter of seconds.
Get more done:
A new workstation with an Intel® Core™2 Duo processor & Windows 7 Professional can run nearly 3 times faster than your old PC while using half the electricity. Also, compared to an older laptop with Windows XP, a new business laptop running Windows 7 can deliver up to 68% increase in performance power.
Reduce costs:
A new HP desktop can consume up to 55% less energy than an older desktop.
Maximize uptime:
Workstations older than three years can experience much more downtime than new ones. With new PC's, you can experience much more uptime, which in turn means more productive work-time and more profitability for your business. Also, new business laptops with Windows 7 can start up to 41% faster and have shut-down times that are up to 30% faster than an older laptop.
Improve your return on technology:
The average corporate PC is now 4 to 5 years old, old enough to be more expensive to maintain them than it would be to recycle them and buy something new.
You can look forward to more information from River Run Computers to help you better understand how an investment in technology will truly bring value to your business in 2010.
