HP bags Air Force order for 10,000 PCs

Hewlett-Packard has grabbed a contract to supply the U.S. Air Force with 10,000 desktop PCs for deployment around the world, the company said Monday.

The purchase was part of the Air Force's quarterly IT buy, Palo Alto, Calif.-based HP said. In October, HP won a blanket purchase agreement from the Air Force that allows it to bid on such quarterly purchases. The Athlon-based dx5150 Business PCs named in the deal match an Air Force requirement for small and minitower desktops.
