Netbooks have a lot of advantages: small, easy to carry, etc. But, many business users find them slow and ergonomically difficult to work on for long periods of time. Check out this short animation to see why notebooks may be the better choice for your business.

Not just for Road Warriors any more, mobility takes hold as a strategic corporate asset across the enterprise. This article summarizes key mobility data from a recent Forrester Research report and Intel IT's experience with a highly mobile workforce Lost Laptops: More Expensive Than You Think.

New research quantifies the primary factors driving the cost of a lost or stolen laptop.

VIDEO: In 1997, Intel IT made a strategic decision to move to laptops based on not only facts, but also a gut instinct. Hear Diane Bryant and John Mahvi explain how that decision helped Intel lower costs, raise productivity, reduce energy and even provide some unexpected benefits.

Read this whitepaper to learn more about Intel's business reasons for adopting notebook encryption, as well as the plan that Intel's own IT department developed to help ensure a smooth, secure, and cost-effective implementation.

This article describes and discusses benefits of a research prototype, P-MAPS, a processor-measured service layer that dynamically reduces the trusted computing base (TCB) and verifiably improves the runtime security of users applications, without interrupting the typical operation of the user OS. The dynamic usage approach reduces the execution footprint of P-MAPS, making it feasible to protect critical applications on power-sensitive mobile platforms.

VIDEO: In this video, Intel IT explains the benefits we've seen from using Intel Solid State Drives in our environment, including gains in productivity and reliability, and savings in energy costs. We also show a demo comparison between a laptop with a SSD and a conventional hard drive.

WHITE PAPER - Intel IT is evaluating solid-state drive (SSD) technology to better understand the benefits to users and the impacts on the enterprise. We have initiated a proof of concept (PoC) study that includes extensive benchmark testing as well as deployment of notebooks with SSDs to the Intel workforce.
