| Lenovo and Best Buy For Business Extend PC Offering Lenovo and Best Buy For Business have announced that select Lenovo notebook PCs will be available for purchase at approximately 300 Best Buy For Business retail store locations across the U.S. beginning this month. Small business professionals can now purchase the ThinkPad T60 widescreen and Lenovo 3000 N100 notebooks at the Best Buy locations to help meet business and home office personal computing needs. Lenovo joined forces with Best Buy For Business in April 2006 to offer ThinkPad, ThinkCentre and Lenovo 3000 PCs to small businesses, offering Lenovo-trained sales professionals to help identify and apply the right technology solutions for their unique business needs. Previously, the agreement enabled customers to order Lenovo PCs through the Best Buy For Business telesales team. The new agreement extends Lenovo's reach to retail shelves in those stores throughout the country, providing small business customers easy access to business-class technology. IT hardware is an important component of IT spending by small-to-medium businesses. In a survey, Forrester Research, Inc. found that hardware budgets are reported to make up on average 32 percent of North American SMB overall IT spend. It reported that PC upgrades will consume the largest portion of hardware budgets, and replacing or upgrading PCs is the top hardware-related theme for SMBs. Pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows Vista Business, the ThinkPad T60 widescreen and Lenovo 3000 N100 models available at Best Buy For Business stores will offer individual users the quality, innovation and best-of-breed technologies that Lenovo is known for in the business world. The ThinkPad and Lenovo 3000 systems come equipped with ThinkVantage Technologies and Lenovo Care productivity tools, respectively. For individual business users, these technologies help reduce total cost of ownership and make the PC experience more productive, reliable and worry-free. Best Buy For Business is designed to meet the technology needs of small businesses, offering business-class technology products and technology solutions consultations to help small business owners design, implement and maintain their technology infrastructure. Customers can engage Best Buy For Business through locations within nearly 300 Best Buy stores around the country, via the web and over the phone. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
