The PC Refresh Cycle
If you’re following a 3–5-year hardware refresh cycle, then your IT almost definitely is costing the Earth. Both literally and figuratively.
What if you could double the usable life of your desktops and laptops? Would that save you money?
What about the environmental impact?
Did you know that over 80% of a device’s total carbon footprint is generated during manufacturing?
Producing a typical laptop uses over 300 litres of water, consumes 1,100 KWh of energy, and generates 272 kgCO2e. So, using your existing PCs for longer, not only saves you money, but it also reduces your impact on the environment. It’s a win-win!
But They Don’t Last Forever
All that sounds great in theory, but as they get older PC performance deteriorates. Within a few years computers get outdated and become incompatible with latest OS and software updates.
If we want to keep current, we have no choice. We have to upgrade them, right?
Actually, you don’t!
You can improve the performance and security of your PCs and keep them current with the latest Windows OS and other software updates without replacing them.
