When you think of the holidays, most of us think of food, family and celebration. But when you’re a small business owner, it’s also time to prepare for the year ahead and set some new business priorities. Here at Microsoft, we understand that there are many to-do’s on every small business owner’s list and technology upgrades and needs are usually fairly high on that list.
With an ever expanding competitive market, it is critical to have the best technology possible to support your small business – not only to get the most ROI, but to gain that competitive edge with the latest capabilities to offer customers even more value. Small businesses want technology that not only provides an enjoyable experience, but one that keeps their business and employees secure, productive, mobile and well supported year-round. And, with the end of support for Windows XP quickly approaching in April 2014, there really is no better time to upgrade your software and hardware than this holiday season for a better start to the New Year.
Microsoft designed Windows 7 Professional with those small business needs in mind and there is an array of new, innovative business PCs to meet every small business’ need and price point. It’s time to put up the tree, spread some holiday cheer, and deck the halls with the latest PCs!
Here are just a few of the PCs that are out in the marketplace this holiday season:
