"HP has a proven record of investing in their channel partners. They have a large variety of notebooks from touch screen to workstation, which can serve a wide variety of customers," said Tom Lowry, senior partner with Corus Group, Norcross, Ga. "Furthermore, the HP Renew [refurbished] channel offers a greater flexibility in pricing and configurations for both new and Renew HP-authorized notebooks. Also, selling the authorized HP Renew notebooks can be great for all parties involved, as they sell products that may have been cancelled from another order and customers can take advantage of deep discounts."
