If you’re looking to save money, investing in new HP Business Notebook PCs powered by Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology is a great place to start. In a tough economy, everyone is looking for creative ways to conserve capital. At first glance, expanding the life of laptops may seem prudent. But when the total cost of maintaining systems over years comes into play, that short-term temptation may prove unprofitable.

There are four essential benefits of investing in new HP Business Notebooks:

• Spend smart. Old notebooks drain more power, slow staff down and can’t always handle the latest technologies. What’s more, 3-year-old PCs cost more to maintain than they do to replace.²
• Do more. A new HP Business Notebook with Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology allows your customers to get more done in more places, run multiple applications much faster and work up to 51 minutes longer per day.³
• Be more secure. Notebook PCs older than three years are up to 53 per cent more vulnerable to security incidents. ¹ New HP Notebook PCs with Intel® vPro™ technology are much more secure and can be patched and remediated remotely.
• Manage notebook PCs more efficiently. New HP Business Notebook PCs with Intel vPro technology can be managed remotely, enabling customers to save money by cutting desk-side support visits by up to 91%.⁴

4. Intel® vPro™ technology includes powerful Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT). Intel® AMT requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. With regard to notebooks, Intel® AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt/index.htm Results shown are from the 2007 EDS Case Studies with Intel® vPro™ processor technology, by LeGrand and Salamasick, 3rd party audit commissioned by Intel, of various enterprise IT environments. The studies compare test environments of Intel® vPro™ processor technology equipped PCs vs non-Intel® vPro™ processor technology environments. Tested PCs were in multiple OS and power states to mirror a typical working environment. Actual results may vary. The study is available at www.intel.com/vpro and www.eds.com
