New Research Uncovers Impact of Owning an Old PC on SMBs in Asia Pacific

  • Techaisle research commissioned by Microsoft and Intel uncovers that the cost of upkeeping a PC older than four years can be used to purchase at least two new Modern PCs
  • SMBs running Windows 7 devices within the organization should seek to make the shift before End of Support in January 2020

 

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach[1] - 16 October 2018 - Still own a PC or laptop older than four years old? You may be spending more on its upkeep than buying a new modern device.

 

Microsoft and Intel today unveiled new research from Techaisle[2], a leading global SMB IT market research and analyst organization, which highlighted the opportunities that Asia Pacific's SMBs have by upgrading to modern devices at work.

 

The study[1], which surveyed 2,156 SMB organizations across Asia Pacific, found that the cost of keeping a PC more than four years old is US$2,736 per device -- enough to replace the ageing hardware with two or more new PCs.

The study also revealed that a PC older than four years old is also 2.7 times more likely to undergo repairs, resulting in loss in productivity. 85% of larger SMBs, with more than 500 employees, have PCs that are older than four years, compared to 60% in smaller SMBs employing less than 100 employees. This underscores the widespread usage of older devices within SMBs in the region.

 

"PCs are the productive engines for most SMBs in the region, where organizations rely heavily on their devices for their day-to-day tasks. However, 7 in 10 SMBs surveyed have PCs that are older than four years, which significantly increases maintenance costs," said Bradley Hopkinson, Vice President, Consumer and Devices Sales, Asia, Microsoft. "With budget constraints being the number one IT challenge among SMBs today, business leaders should seek to adopt a device modernization strategy so that they can maintain costs, while safeguarding their organization from newer digital risks."
