Business Laptop Buying Guide
May 29, 2009 at 02:05:07 AM, by Jesper Berg
Businesses in general are currently in the process of shifting from desktop PCs to laptops. Laptops are easier to handle and maintain as well as much less expensive than they were a few years ago.
Most of the larger manufacturers offer specific “corporate notebook” lineups, like Dell’s Latitude series or Lenovo’s ThinkPad. The common denominators compared to consumer laptops are a more robust build – often using carbon fiber or magnesium alloy – and a more conservative design. They also differ in connectivity and extras, opting for more security and shock-mounted hard drives instead of fancy speakers and HDMI out.
Integrated or Dedicated Graphics
Unless you work with photo/video editing or 3D modeling, you can save money by going with integrated graphics instead of dedicated. You won’t notice any difference in regular office applications, and integrated varieties like the Intel GMA950 or 4500MHD require less power to operate, resulting in better battery life and a reduced electricity bill.
