Centerprise International has added Gigabyte to its vendor portfolio and is set to launch the hardware manufacturer’s new line of notebooks in the UK.
According to the distributor, it will be stocking Gigabyte’s entire range of laptops and netbooks, as well as a number of as yet unannounced products. “Centerprise is delighted to partner with Gigabyte and launch its new products into the UK marketplace. Gigabyte is a well respected manufacturer with high quality products – the new range has been well researched and there has been a large amount of positive feedback on it,” said Emma Loveless, Centerprise’s business unit operations supervisor.
“We believe it’s the perfect addition to our current line-up of products. We have a very successful business within the high-end toughbooks in the market and now have the added benefit of being able to supply our customers with a range of netbooks/notebooks. This can only benefit them and also help us to improve and develop future relationships throughout the channel.”
Two of the new products Centerprise is introducing to the UK are the T1000 tablet netbook and the M1405 ultra-slim notebook. The T1000, which comes in a ‘latte gold’ colour, features a swivel multi-touch screen and uses Intel’s Pine Trail-M platform. The M1405, meanwhile, sports Smart Turbo technology for easy overclocking, a slimline DVD-RW drive, fingerprint technology, HDMI and an Nvidia GT220 graphics embedded docking station.
While Gigabyte is best known for its motherboard and graphics accelerator products, notebooks now represent the vendor’s fastest growing product range. Hampshire-based Centerprise specialises in delivering IT products to the corporate, education, government and reseller sectors.
