In a statement, IBM said: “Instead of buying a tablet at $599
(€416) and imaging it for another $200, companies can lease it for
about $20 a month. The requirement begins at US$1K in most
geographies.”
With the PC market showing signs of having passed its peak,
fast-growing consumer demand for tablet devices such as Apple’s
iPad and BlackBerry’s Playbook tablet, has opened up a new IT
market for asset finance companies.
Follow IBM’s announcement, other providers in this sector are
also arguably well equipped to offer similar programmes.
