For the lean business, where every second counts and every resource matters, upgrading to modern PCs can give you the edge you need to accelerate your success.
In today’s hybrid, AI-driven workplace, performance isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a business enabler. Whether you’re running complex workloads, collaborating across time zones, or simply trying to keep pace with customer expectations, your devices need to deliver speed, responsiveness, and reliability.
For small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), where every second counts and every resource matters, upgrading to modern PCs is one of the most impactful decisions you can make.
The problem with legacy devices
Many organisations still rely on PCs that are five years old or older. These devices struggle with multitasking, drain battery life, and lack the processing power needed for today’s AI-enhanced applications. They slow down workflows, increase support tickets, and limit your team’s ability to innovate.
What are the upsides you will feel when you upgrade, especially in a fast-moving SMB?
- Speed that sets the pace: Windows 11 Pro PCs with Intel vPro® and Intel® Core™ Ultra processors complete demanding workloads 42% faster on average compared with Windows 10 devices¹
- Battery life that lasts: Copilot+ PCs powered by Intel vPro® and Intel® Core™ Ultra offer all-day battery life, helping hybrid teams stay productive wherever they work.
- AI that accelerates impact: Copilot+ PCs powered by Intel vPro® and Intel Core™ Ultra come with a 40+ TOPS NPU, enabling features like Windows Studio Effects for enhanced video calling and Improved Windows Search, designed to streamline communication and help users find what they need faster, with less friction.
- Security you can trust: With Intel vPro® security capabilities such as Intel Threat Detection paired with Microsoft Secured-core PC and Microsoft Pluton, these devices deliver the highest levels of security out-of-the-box.
“We’re fast enough” objections, addressed
You “don’t need more speed” until you do. Faster multitasking and AI-powered workflows mean fewer delays and more time for high-impact work.
If your team objects to change, saying “we’re used to what we have”, Windows 11 Pro and Copilot+ PCs are compatible with your existing apps and accessories, and support zero-touch deployment with Windows Autopilot.
Hesitant about upgrading because you have to “watch the budget”? Upgrading to modern PCs can deliver up to 250% ROI over three years, according to Forrester.
