TECHNOLOGY BRIEF: Office Depot ‘Hits The Books’ For Back-to-School With Expanded Ultrabook™ Assortment

From folders and pencils, to backpacks and glue, the back-to-school season is full of must-haves for starting the year off on the right foot. But no school shopping list is complete without one of the most crucial products – a computer.

Just in time for the busy back-to-school season, a wide assortment of Ultrabook™ devices from leading brands, including HP, ASUS, Samsung and Toshiba, are now available at www.officedepot.com/ultrabook and at select Office Depot (NYSE: ODP) retail store locations nationwide.

Ultra responsive, sleek and stylish, Intel-powered Ultrabook devices wake up in a flash for quick access, by going from zero to go in seconds. At less than an inch thick, the highly portable Ultrabook devices are easy to grab and transport anywhere and boast battery life that last for hours and can also remain on standby for days.

“The Ultrabook is all the rage with our customers purchasing technology for back-to-school,” said Farla Efros, Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer for Office Depot. “Our wide selection of Ultrabook devices provides students heading back to school with the freedom to choose the best product for their needs.”
