By now, you’ve probably heard that Microsoft is ending support for all Windows 7 and Server 2008 systems on January 14th, 2020. What does this mean? Your computers will still work, but will no longer receive security patches that stop vulnerabilities. Even if you have a firewall and endpoint protection software, this leaves you and your practice exposed. Is it worth the risk? Absolutely not. Today, all it takes is one system to open the door for a vulnerability to rapidly spread and infect every system and your backups. Microsoft is the first line of defense and they are getting ready to pack their bags and head home.
Regardless of security patches, if you are still using Windows 7 computers or a Windows 2008 server, they’re probably showing their age anyway. Server 2008 was released on February 27, 2008 and Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009. 10 years ago! Since then, major advancements in hardware and software have been introduced. Speed, security, and portability are the key positive changes in the latest versions of Windows.
To get you back on track, we’ve teamed up with Lenovo again to offer special pricing on select workstations, laptops, and servers that fit the need and budget of any dental practice. What’s great about this promotion is that every system includes extended warranty and installation! No hidden fees or surprise expenses.
Our installation schedule is filling up quickly and all future installations are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Each of the below systems have been hand selected to find that perfect performance-to-cost balance. Plus, we’ve vetted them in dental environments, so we know they work with all your digital sensors, intraoral cameras, and any practice management system you can throw at them. Overall, the most bang-for-the-buck system goes to the Basic Plus computer for $870.38. This system is smoking fast and well equipped from the get-go, but also has room to grow in the future with expansion ports.
