ThinkCentre A62- Addressing Customer Pain Points

See Attachment for more effective selling points.



Energy Efficiency

IntroductionMany organizations are responding to the need to be more environmentally responsible and are purchasing products for their business which have less of an environmental impact. Lenovo is introducing a new generation of PCs that are more energy efficient.

Compared with the A61, the A62 offers improved acoustic performance and reduced power consumption. The A62 is one of the most environmentally friendly desktops available and has an EPEAT gold rating. Not only is the ThinkCentre A62 compliant with EPEAT Gold, ENERGY STAR 4.0, RoHS, and GREENGUARD (Air Quality Emissions Certification), but it also has the EPEAT gold rated monitor, made first and only by Lenovo.

AMD ProcessorsIn addition, when compared to the A61, the A62 with Athlon 2650e processor offers up to 40% power expense savings per unit per year. AMD Cool’n’Quiet Technology allows each processor to throttle its speed up or down as needed in order to save energy. When the load is light, the processor’s clock speed and core voltage are automatically reduced, thereby saving energy and cost.



Energy Efficiency

ENERGY STAR 4.0Lenovo offers select A62 models that have met the requirements to be ENERGY STAR 4.0* compliant. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. ENERGY STAR is a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The benefit to the customer is that energy efficient choices can save customer on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. For more information visit http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=about.ab_index.

EPEATThe A62 has also been recognized by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT). EPEAT evaluates electronic products, based on their environmental attributes, according to three tiers of environmental performance – Bronze, Silver, and Gold. EPEAT provides an opportunity for manufacturers to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its products. The A62 is rated “Gold”.
