Introducing the Velocity Micro blog
Posted by Randy Copeland - President & CEO

Welcome to the Velocity Micro blog. I’ve launched this blog as a way to communicate directly with customers, PC enthusiasts, and friends in the industry. I’ll be writing about new Velocity Micro product development, giving my insight on industry news and announcements, and keeping you updated on the latest with Velocity Micro. Joining me on the blog will be other Velocity Micro team members, including Chip Lowell, Kate Ashley, and Chris Morley.

We’ve been working on the development of this blog for a long time now to make sure that it speaks to the industry and our role in it, instead of becoming my personal pulpit.

In the past few years, Velocity Micro has grown by leaps and bounds. The company has gone from being a small boutique player to one of the most highly regarded, innovative PC makers in the industry.

We’ve formed close relationships with our vendor partners that give us access to launch product technology that enables us to offer our customers the most advanced and powerful PCs on the market. Velocity Micro entered into a retail partnership in mid-2005 with Best Buy, which has let us introduce our award winning PCs to a much broader audience. This past July, Velocity Micro was the first PC maker worldwide to introduce Intel® Core™ 2 Duo based systems on retail shelves.

Firsts like these are some of the reasons why I think it is time to get Velocity Micro’s voice out there.

As most industry watchers will tell you, the PC landscape has changed dramatically in the last year. We’ve witnessed two of our boutique competitors get bought up by multinational OEMs… to what effect no one quite knows for certain.

I am committed to providing a premium experience to PC enthusiasts and will never compromise my values. I will always make the kind of high performance, premium technology, and expert support that have made Velocity Micro an enthusiast favorite and won more than 30 Editors’ Choice awards.

Please bookmark this blog and check frequently. Expect to see new posts from myself and other Velocity Micro team members every couple days. We’ll keep you updated with breaking news, new product announcements and industry insight.

Thanks for joining me on this new adventure!

PS - Kate Ashley will be posting next with a wrap up and analysis of Digital Life.
