Getac is offering a new five-year warranty as standard on its complete line of fully rugged notebook computers and tablets, delivered on or after 1 January 2010. The five-year warranty protection will allow customers to benefit from a two-year warranty extension at no additional cost. Peter Molyneux, business development director of Getac UK, said: 'Getac's new five-year warranty will enable Getac users and corporate purchasing departments to better plan IT budgets, ensuring there are no hidden costs and full use of the equipment over its lifetime.'In addition, we're providing the reassurance that the total cost of owning our products is essentially all inclusive for five years,' he added. The five-year warranty will also allow customers to minimise downtime while maximising profitability, particularly in large utility and government organisations whose process for requesting and receiving spending approval to repair an out-of-warranty computer is a time-consuming process, according to the company.
The warranty is designed to provide IT departments with the opportunity to better manage its assets by knowing the projected costs of a computer's lifespan at the time of purchase.
