Intel picks Dell over HP for free PCs |
Posted on Tuesday, August 19 @ 23:16:33 BST by just_dave

It's as easy as Dell for Intel employees.
The chipmaker has ousted HP as its supplier of choice for a free employee PC program that Intel recently reinstated. Intel workers receive $1,000 to go toward a new Dell of their liking. Intel started the free PC program three years ago in conjunction with HP, but put it on hold as the economic downturn hit. With a recovery not exactly in sight, the revamped version of the giveaway comes with a few strings attached.
For starters, the $1,000 coupon is less than in times past. Exactly how much less? Intel will not say. In addition, employees only have a four week window in which to make their purchase. Even with these restrictions, it's a heck of a nice program to provide for 78,000 staff.
... more inside
There is, however, cause for concern for some of Intel's slower employees, as a result of the wording on Dell's special PC giveaway Web site. At first glance, the relationship between Dell and Intel appears to be but a figment of one's imagination.
"It's your chance to get the PC of your dreams," the site reads. "DREAM BIG. Now you can turn your dreams into reality."
That's one reality for three dreams. What kind of PC is this exactly? Is there a Jungian connection between Dell and Intel that we don't know about?
Sadly, no. A journey into the Wintel collective unconscious would be far more interesting that the standard kit provided in the program. The $1,000 will get an Intel worker a Pentium 4 desktop running at 2.20GHz with 256MB of memory and an 80GB hard drive. Employees can pay a bit more for add-ons and extra horsepower, if they so desire. ®

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.loveugg.co.uk | UGG UK has great worth in current time due to its great quality. Fashion trends make it more perfect and now it’s the voice of people to wear UGG Amberlee. The best deal that you can ever get is the UGG Annabelle. I just came across this beautiful cheap ugg boots and I grabbed a beautiful pair of UGG Bailey Button. Really nice classical boots made from unisex UGG Retro Cargo.
When I came across this offer first time I didn’t gave importance to this deal and ignored. UGG Over The Knee Twisted Cable Couple of weeks earlier I was in fashion show (Milan) and the model was modeling for UGG Kensington, that model was looking hot in those Uggs. I really wanted UGG Bailey Button Triplet to look as hot and sexy as that model was looking in that beautiful uggs so my quest for UGG Sheepskin Cuff began.
I turn on my laptop and logged on to net to get complete info about UGG Classic Cardy. I read an article and complete info on UGG Classic Mini. I was really fascinated and my I went crazier for UGG Classic Short. Very next day I went to shopping mall to get a pair of UGG Kenly but the price of uggs was way out of my reach I was very disappointed. I wanted them but had little money to get them.UGG Rosabella
I was surfing on the internet one day when I saw an add of UGG Classic Short Sparkles. I clicked on it and there I was at the store offering UGG Classic Tall. These UGG Mayfaire were in my range and were beautiful. I decided to give a try to check whether they are of good quality or just laundering money.UGG Montclair My little gamble paid off when after couple of days I received my order of UGG Delaine. I gave a try to them and they were perfectly fit and I was ready to rock and roll. My UGG Tularosa Route Cable made me really hot and sexy and I also saved hundreds of dollars. Well done to UGG Highkoo you made my life.
I will also suggest you why to spend thousands of dollars buying expensive UGG Fox Fur when you can buy the same good quality UGG Greenfiled with little money. If you are really looking for good quality and cheap ugg boot. Here is he link where you can get, UGG Knightsbridge. Give it a try I hope you will love it. I am confident that it will a great experience for you.UGG Roslynn |
