We have recently an influx of Mac users wanting to migrate to PC but they generally have a few concerns. The first is having to learn Windows. The other is having Thunderbolt support. Let’s see how we address those issues.
Tale of Two Micro-Engagements
As I’ve mentioned before, I live in Southern Utah. But I travel to the offices of Puget Systems a few times each year. This gives me the opportunity to interact with a number of companies over a short period of time. Some marketers call these short interactions with customers micro-engagements. They might be short in duration, but smart companies understand how important they are in keeping customers happy.
SSD vs HDD – Responsiveness Comparison
Everyone knows that solid state drives are much faster than magnetic hard drives, but just how much of a difference does it make when using typical applications in Windows? We made a video to demonstrate!
Windows 7: The End is Nigh
Windows 7 updates are being limited by Microsoft on the latest processor platforms, and in combination with the other issues we’ve seen lately when installing Windows 7 we are now only listing it as an option on well-supported configurations… until we run out of licenses, then it’s over.
In Search of Competition
While speaking to our customers, I’m often asked why we don’t carry a specific brand or type of product. For example, AMD recently released a CPU called Ryzen that competes with Intel CPUs. AMD is positioning these chips as comparable to Intel’s offerings but at a lower price. Some customers are interested in how these new chips stack up.
I Got Schooled by a Group of 7th Graders
If you’re feeling overconfident in your public speaking skills, step into a class full of 7th graders. They are a tough crowd.
That’s what I did last week when my daughter’s “Career & Technology” teacher asked me speak to her class about my work in technology. I prepared a 15-minute presentation that covered my years at Microsoft, a couple of startups, and positions at Puget Systems.
A Lesson I Learned at Microsoft
Before I came to Puget Systems I worked for a number of small companies and one large one: Microsoft.
Bring On The New Year
The start to a new year is a good time to review your PC. Last weekend I pulled out my desktop PC and performed the following:
Event Schedule For 2017
In 2017, our goal is to get out there where our customers are to learn more about them, learn more about their workflow, and find out what more we can do to optimize our systems and experience to those exact needs. That is why we are working with many user groups this year and have a big tradeshow calendar lined up. Are there any events that we should attend that aren’t on this list? Let us know!
