PC Replacement: How PC Upgrades Can Save You Money

Your Old PCs Are Hurting Your Bottom Line.
What Are You Waiting for?

Continuing to use older computers can have an enormously negative impact on your business finances. Maintenance costs, security vulnerabilities, and productivity losses all add up to dangerously bad news for your bottom line.

Every five-year-old computer your business uses is costing you $12,495 per year in lost productivity.1 Your employees are 21 percent less productive on those machines.2 And for every one you own, you’ll need to hire an additional employee to make up for the lost productivity.3

We know you’re probably working with a tight budget and that you hit a new expense at every turn. But the performance and productivity enhancements you’ll get with 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor-based computers make new PCs an investment that immensely improves your long-term profitability.

Stop asking if you can afford a PC upgrade and focus on the real question: How much longer can you let older PCs cost your business?
