Network Optimized PC's - Top Four Advantages
Low-cost consumer PCs may be tempting in times of tight budgets, but the up-front cost savings are more than recouped by the following advantages realized by purchasing network-optimized PCs.
 
1.
  Enterprise-class managed PCs powered by the latest Intel® processors provide enhanced performance to improve productivity and keep you ahead of the technology curve.
2.
  Computers that arrive with Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional and Intel® LANDesk® Client Manager software pre-installed are ready to connect to your campus network right out of the box, saving on IT workload. Plus, the manageability features allow IT staff to perform remote updates and system monitoring, thereby lowering support costs.
3.
  An Intel® 10/100 Ethernet connection is standard equipment on network optimized PCs, making them network-ready without additional upgrade costs.
4.
  Longer limited warranties, like the three-year parts and labor limited warranty with three-year, on-site service that come standard on Gateway® E-Series computers, give you peace of mind, save on IT costs and allow your IT staff to take care of other important issues.
 
Network-optimized computers will save you money on upgrades, installation time and eliminate many future headaches. There is a managed PC for every budget, and the built-in advantages will lower your total cost of ownership.
