At SYNNEX, we don’t see it that way. We believe that the traditional business-oriented view of our PC market overlooks the rapid convergence of personal computing with new consumer-oriented technologies and products, including consumer electronics, home entertainment, home automation, home security, video surveillance, and many more. This is where our future growth will come—and where System Builders will find a goldmine of opportunity. The convergence of consumer electronics, communications, and personal computing has already occurred. Today, you can surf the Web on your television, or watch television on your PC. You can browse the Internet while talking on the phone, or actually replace your home phone by using computer-based Internet telephony. PC networking technology is driving another wave of integration. Play digital music, video, and movies on your PC, or stream them to your home entertainment system. Control lights, thermostat, and appliances with PCbased home automation products, and make your home safer with PC-based security systems and webcam video surveillance monitoring. Businesses are also moving consumer electronics products and technologies into the workplace, using big-screen TVs and camcorders for business presentations and video conferencing, and digital signage and home theatre systems for advertising and promotion. SYNNEX is at the forefront of this integration, enabling System Builders to sell, install, and service a wide array of products from well-known brands including HP, Logitech, Seagate, and many others. This opens many new opportunities to add value, including helping businesses integrate these new technologies into their daily operations. The breadth and depth of the new CE products from SYNNEX merits a special section in this guide. Look for the SYNNEX Consumer Electronics Line Cards featuring these products organized by product category, and read the article about how SYNNEX is responding to your changing business landscape with a firm commitment to helping you grow your business. Offering both PC and CE products gives System Builders the competitive edge of delivering personalized setup, installation, configuration, and support services to your clients—and delivering a boost to your bottom line. A new SYNNEX Configuration Services website will be soon available to help System Builders quickly and easily expedite orders. With the most powerful and easy-to-use website of its kind in the entire country, the SYNNEX Configuration Services enables your business to offer your customers top-quality PC systems at a competitive market price—fullyassembled, pre-configured, operation-tested, and serialized—without the expense of maintaining inhouse expertise and manufacturing facilities. You demanded a tier-one distributor that provides value-add services beyond just “pick, pack, and ship.” You wanted new ways to sustain and grow your business, with new products hot new CE products and technologies. And SYNNEX is delivering. Creating new opportunities. Opening new markets, and serving new customers. SYNNEX enables you to deliver more business value at lower cost—and keep more satisfied customers for long-term profitable success. SYNNEX delivers the distribution strength your business needs, yet maintains the personal touch of a smaller company. How do we do this? Delivering big-company capabilities with a focus on customer service. Maintaining these closer and stronger “smallcompany” relationships with you is the driving force behind our mutual success. We strive to do better for you and deliver what you need, when you need it.

FEATURE ARTICLE HP Breaks the 24-hour Battery Life Barrier Customizable HP EliteBook delivers all-day power PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 8, 2008 HP today announced an unprecedented milestone in mobile computing: up to 24 hours of continuous notebook operation on a single battery charge. As measured by an industry-standard benchmark, the new HP EliteBook 6930p configured with an optional ultra-capacity battery delivered up to 24 hours of battery runtime.(1) “All-day computing has been the holy grail of notebook computing,” said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, HP. “With the HP EliteBook 6930p, customers no longer have to worry about their notebook battery running out before their work day is over.” Designed and tested to last, HP batteries benefit from a combination of HP engineering and energy-efficient notebook components such as Intel® solid-state hard drives (SSD) and mercury-free LED displays. For example, the highly efficient HP Illumi-Lite LED display boosts battery run time by up to 4 hours compared to traditional LCD displays, while the Intel SSD provides up to a 7 percent increase in battery life compared to traditional hard drives. With up to 24 hours of battery life, business travelers can easily: • U se an HP EliteBook 6930p continuously on the world’s longest scheduled commercial airline flight – linking Newark Liberty International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport – approximately 18 hours, 40 minutes. • Take more than 10 trips on the EuroStar train between London and Paris – approximately 2 hours, 15 minutes each direction – before recharging the battery. • Travel as a passenger by car from Maine to Florida using a notebook during the entire journey. Solid state for mobile professionals Inspired by aircraft construction and designed for style-conscious mobile professionals, HP EliteBook notebooks feature the latest mobile technologies. In October, customers will be able to purchase an HP EliteBook with the new Intel high-performance SSDs – HP is a launch customer for new Intel X25-M and X18-M Mainstream SATA SSDs. In addition to helping achieve outstanding battery life, these new Intel SSDs provide greater durability 18 OEM GUIDE and reliability as well as faster system responsiveness. Internal HP benchmarks show overall performance boosts of up to 57 percent on industry benchmarks, and data transfer rates almost six times faster than traditional hard disks. “Intel architected its new line of high-performance solid-state drives specifically to bring a new level of performance and reliability to the computing platform and make significant impact to the way people use their PCs,” said Randy Wilhelm, vice president and general manager, NAND Products Group, Intel.“The HP milestone is an example of the impact of this new level of performance that specifically delivers on lower power consumption for longer battery life.” EliteBook 6930 for mobile professionals The initial ENERGY STAR®-qualified HP EliteBook 6930p configuration starts at only 4.7 pounds (2.1 kilograms). It features a 14.1-inch diagonal widescreen display and is available with an optional, mercury-free Illumi-Lite LED display. The HP EliteBook 6930p is built for the corporate road warrior as it features a shock-resistant hard drive, enhanced display panel and spill-resistant keyboard to help defend data against bumps, drops and spills. It was designed to meet the tough MIL-STD 810F military-standard tests(2) that measure levels of environmental reliability and operation at extreme temperatures, while withstanding vibration and high humidity. The inner magnesium shell of the notebook’s HP DuraCase is equipped with a honeycomb pattern that is thermally bonded to anodized aluminum for a solid construction. All HP notebooks are designed with the environment in mind, with energy-efficient features and select materials for easier recycling. For example, HP has set a goal to remove all mercury – a material commonly found in notebook screens – from its entire notebook line by the end of 2010.

Simplify...with Seagate® FreeAgent™ external hard drives Seagate Debuts New Storage Solutions To Address The Growing Consumer Need To Store, Share And Enjoy Digital Content Seagate Technology, the world leader in storage solutions, announced the Fall 2008 lineup of the company’s awardwinning FreeAgent™ external hard drives. This new generation of the family includes attractive desktop and mobile options that make it a breeze to back up, share and protect valuable digital content like photos, videos and music. “With the amount of content being created and consumed today, the average broadband household will soon need close to a terabyte of storage to account for their personal media collections on PCs, portable devices, and DVRs,” said Jane Shields, research analyst, Parks Associates.“With Seagate’s coupling of high-capacity, reliable and easy-to-use solutions with attractive designs, the company is helping more people enjoy the benefits that come with backup and sharing of their digital media collections.” “The growth of the 2.5-inch form factor external hard disk drive market has been very strong – almost doubling in 2008 compared with 2007,” said Wolfgang Schlichting, research director, Removable Storage at IDC.“This growth is much higher than the overall market and driven by the products’ convenient size and connectivity, as well as their large storage capacity and affordability.” Seagate’s flagship offering, the FreeAgent Go portable storage solution, is the slimmest external drive available today. At a height of only 12.5mm, the new FreeAgent Go easily fits in a pocket while still including all the advanced shock and vibration protection people have come to expect from Seagate. Another industry first, the new FreeAgent Go is the first external hard drive to offer a docking option, providing a practical way to move from the desk to the road, while leaving the hassle of fumbling with cables and locating USB ports to the history books. With up to 500GB of capacity and a variety of popular colours, the FreeAgent Go bridges the gap between standard 20 OEM GUIDE portable solutions and desktop solutions with enough storage to carry entire libraries of movies, pictures and music. No longer does one need to sacrifice capacity for portability, Seagate FreeAgent Go provides the benefits and convenience of both in a truly seamless on-the-go package. “The first FreeAgent storage solution offering introduced in 2007 unquestionably made a mark for Seagate in the consumer space, demonstrating that hard drives can be designed to provide a stylish complement to a computing environment,” said Pat King, senior vice president of Seagate’s Consumer Solutions Division. This second-generation of FreeAgent storage solutions takes the extra step of providing easy-to-use technology in a consumerfriendly package.” The FreeAgent Desk drive and FreeAgent XTreme™ drive are the family’s two 3.5-inch high-capacity desktop offerings and provide up to 1.5 Terabytes of storage. These drives are designed to provide the flexibility to sit horizontally or stand vertically to maximize your workspace. The FreeAgent Desk drive is a brushed aluminum high-capacity solution with a USB 2.0 interface. The FreeAgent XTreme drive is a black, brushed aluminum highcapacity storage solution with a triple interface of eSATA, USB 2.0 and FireWire 400. Seagate FreeAgent drives are compatible with Windows® Vista® and Windows® XP® Operating Systems and come equipped with Seagate Manager™ software, an enhanced application that provides scheduled automated back-ups and multi-computer synchronization. The FreeAgent drives for Windows also offer security in the form of software-based AES-256bit encryption and Seagate DrivePass™ password protection for drive access to help keep your information safe and private. With Seagate’s industryleading five-year limited warranty, the FreeAgent storage solutions provide the confidence that your digitally-captured memories and life’s work is on a hard drive you can trust.
