Turion Battles Cancer
Sales of the special edition L2000 notebook (through HP & AMD) are strong at over 40,000 units and have generated over $2 million for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF). The publicity could help raise awareness for cancer in the tech community, and raise awareness for AMD's Turion line in the non-tech community.
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.
