The major consumer electronics and computer products distributor D&H Distributing would like to invite RTO dealers and store owners to visit booth #109 at the APRO Show in Saint Louis, MO, August 11 – 14. D&H representatives will be waiting to help educate RTO market customers about new opportunities in both the desktop and mobile PC arena, including newly-launched, more portable models in the growing notebook category. The distributor is also bringing back its popular "Buy 5, Get 1 Free" promotion on Lenovo desktops and laptops, previously offered during the 2008 TRIB Show in Dallas, TX.

D&H has built a solid portfolio in the notebook category, which now includes models from Lenovo, Acer, HP and ASUS, plus ultra mobile units from these vendors. Notebooks are still showing high demand in the market, with more compact and durable units making it easier for RTO dealers and owners to turn rental profits on these widely used devices. In addition, the new trend towards streamlined, "ultra mobile" portability makes it that much more convenient for users to adopt these smaller devices as must-have tools.

Some examples of computing solutions available through D&H:

Lenovo's ultraportable Ideapad notebooks, with multimedia features to accommodate family entertainment, have just been released to the greater channel after a limited retail launch. D&H is one of the few distributors authorized to carry the line in select markets, including for RTO.

ASUS' "Eee PC" family of notebooks feature shock-resistant, solid state units that deliver ultra-mobile convenience, while still offering a relatively large screen and comfortably-sized keyboard.

Samsung's ultra mobile Q1 Ultra and Q1 Ultra Premium are tablet-size models weighing as little as two pounds, yet claiming full PC functionality, including a choice of Windows XP or Vista OS.

"When it comes to demand for computing products, both the compact mobile units and their customary desktop counterparts are holding their own as a money-generating category overall. For instance, even in a questionable economy, there's still a great interest in lines like the EeePC from Asus," said Jeff Davis, senior vice president of sales at D&H. "Innovative developments like these hit the market at such a quick pace, there will always be hot computing capabilities to help drive rental sales."

RTO dealers and store owners can ask for Raeden or John at the D&H booth for information on D&H's computing solutions, in addition to a range of consumer electronics products and small appliances.
