At first glance, delaying the replacement of older PCs may seem like a prudent cost-saving strategy; however, in the long run, the rising cost to support an aging PC will begin to eclipse any savings expected by delaying the purchase of a replacement—and may even cost your company more money.
Increasingly complex software, new cloud-based computing applications, and even Internet downloads can slow the performance of outdated hardware. Worse yet, older PCs are often more susceptible to new, aggressive security attacks. Upgrading to new PCs equipped with 3rd generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors can help address these challenges.
Intel Core vPro processors not only give users the speed they need to enhance productivity, they also help avoid escalating software and hardware support costs as well as the potential expense of combating security threats.1
Taking a more methodical approach to PC lifecycle management can give you a clear picture of the optimal PC refresh cycle by looking at variable costs over the life of a PC, factoring in acquisition costs as well as deployment, maintenance, and support.
