C2000 launches Apple config tool

Distributor claims a first as it allows VARs to order configured Macs for their customers

Computer 2000 (C2000) claims it is the first to launch an online configuration tool for the complete range of Apple Macs.

The distribution behemoth has tweaked its InTouch website to make it easier for resellers to deliver configured Macs to their exact customer requirements.

C2000’s tool can be used across the entire Mac range including MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac and Mac Pro. VARs can select the model and processor, memory, screen and HDD they require, among other options.

Darren Sainsbury, Apple business manager at C2000, said: “The new configuration tool will promote value by saving our resellers a huge amount of time.

“Apple users often want a spec that does not match the standard configuration models that are available off the shelf. For example, Apple iMacs come with a wireless keyboard and mouse as standard, but education establishments require wired versions. Providing quotations manually can sometimes be a long and drawn-out process. Our new dedicated configuration tool makes our reseller experience consistent, simple and reliable.”
