HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC Generates $2M+ for LAF

AMD And HP Generate More Than $2 Million For The Lance Armstrong Foundation — Sales of HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC Powered by AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology Exceeding Expectations

AMD and HP today announced that they have generated more than $2 million to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) through sales of the HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC, powered by AMD Turion 64 mobile technology. Thanks to the tremendous success of this initiative, availability of this one-of-a-kind notebook will be extended through June 2006.

Available since June of last year, the HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC bears the LIVESTRONG™ message and a reproduction of Lance Armstrong’s autograph. For each HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC shipped to date, the LAF has received $50 from AMD and HP.

AMD has made a two-year commitment to help generate a minimum of $4 million for the LAF. As an ongoing part of this support for the LAF and its mission, AMD was the Official Technology Partner of the 2005 LIVESTRONG Ride in Portland, Oregon and the 2005 Ride for the Roses Weekend in Austin, Texas.

Demand for the special edition HP notebook has been so great that some North American retail centers have seen an entire shipment sell out within hours. In addition to the stores that have carried the HP Special Edition L2000 Notebook PC to date, several additional retail outlets are expected to offer the computer, including Best Buy (Canada-based stores), circuitcity.com, and J & R Computer World. Target.com, uBid.com and Walmart.com will have the notebook available for purchase in February 2006.
