The combination of Intel's best processors ever – 6th Generation Intel Core processors – Microsoft's latest Windows operating system – Windows 10 – and some of the thinnest and most innovative designs ever from Dell, HP and Lenovo was the driving force for these companies to align around an aspirational and educational message for the PC category.

The six-week campaign, which begins Oct. 19 in the United States and China, highlights the significant innovation in today's PCs, prompting consumers to ask "PC Does What?" and inspiring them to question whether their current PC can do the same. The integrated campaign will run across TV, digital and social elements, complemented by native advertising, to reinforce the advanced capabilities of the modern PC.

The joint campaign is designed to complement each company's respective fourth quarter marketing efforts andwill conclude on Nov. 30. The new PCs highlighted in the campaign and more are currently on the market, with more expected to arrive in time for the holidays.

"The possibilities of today's PCs are endless, but millions of people are still using outdated systems," said Karen Quintos, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Dell. "For consumers and business users alike, entirely new benefits and features come standard in the latest devices. Now is the perfect time to experience what you've been missing."

"Today's PCs featuring new designs and innovative form factors reimagine the promise of personal computing, bringing to life new experiences," said Antonio Lucio, chief marketing officer, HP. "HP is excited to join forces with our partners and counterparts in the industry to tell the story of personal computing in a way that captures the imagination of what's possible."

"People buy integrated devices comprised of an operating system, processor and form factor," said Steven Fund, chief marketing officer, Intel. "With unprecedented, substantive innovation in the PC category, it only made sense for us to tell our story together."

"Collectively, we have made so many innovative strides that the 'everyday' PC experience that people have come to expect has changed profoundly," said David Roman, chief marketing officer, Lenovo. "We are talking revolution, not evolution, to such an extent that we stand unified in our commitment to educate and excite the market. In particular, the U.S. and China are the No. 1 and No. 2 PC markets in the world, and we believe that there are millions of consumers in these markets who will be interested in what today's PC can do."

"Powered by Windows 10, the modern PC has ushered in a new era of innovation," said Chris Capossela, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Microsoft. "It seems only appropriate that the key players in this industry rally behind a single campaign to drive awareness about the innovative hardware and software propelling this change."
