Importance of PC Refresh Process

Avoid over-paying for PCs by running over lease terms

Ex: Standard Laptop 840 G1 [US localization]

Lease Price: $998

Monthly lease cost: $28.29

3 yrs=36 months $28.29x36months=$1,008

1 year over= $28.29x48months=$1,357.92

5 people go 1 year over=$1,789.60

Reduction of lease costs

New PCs are always cheaper

Warranty with HP

Hardware and software is compliant to company

standards

Everyone on the same page and up to date
