Tips For Purchasing Your Company's Laptops
Laptops or notebook computers can empower any business or
company. They can be a platform for a fully equipped workforce,
one that is well organized and ready to meet all of today's vast
technological challenges. A workforce that's cohesive, well
connected and totally prepared for the modern work place.
Laptops are state-of-the-art communication machines. These
sophisticated devices are ideal for many business applications
such as record keeping, wireless networking, presentations,
instant communication... can your company really compete in
today's business world without this great techno advantage?
Not completely!
Laptops should be a vital element in your company's overall
business strategy. They should be a priority on your company's
acquisition list for they just may be the competitive edge your
company needs to increase production and beat out the
competition.
Purchasing any kind of high tech device can be a real challenge
in itself. Laptops are no exceptions. Notebook technology is
constantly changing, there's a new generation of notebook
technology every two years or so. Keeping abreast of recent
advances is not an easy job.
Notebooks are getting smaller, faster and are almost matching
the performance level offered by their bigger cousin - the
desktop computer. And for the first time in history, they are
outselling their desktop rivals.
Laptops are also becoming better connected, most high quality
notebooks come with Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) connections, many
have a tri-mode 802.11a/b/g wireless system. Some recent models,
like the Sony's New Ultra-Portable VAIO VGN-T350P, are raising
the bar - it has the world's first 'Built-in Cellular Modem'.
You can use your cell phone to connect to the Internet. This may
be a great advantage since finding a 'Hot Spot' in some parts of
the world can still be difficult.
One of the main features of a good business laptop is
portability. A great business laptop must be very portable. You
should be able to carry it around in your briefcase or under
your arm with ease. Its weight should not cause you any
discomfort even if you have to lug it around all day.
Most lightweight and small laptops can be found in the 'Thin and
Light' and 'Ultra-portable' categories of notebooks. Notebooks
in those classes are usually well under 5 pounds, around 10 by
14 inches in size and approximately an inch thick. Many are a
lot smaller.
But don't let the small size fool you, these laptops are very
powerful. They can do almost any business application you can
throw at it. However, you must make sure your company's laptop
is powerful enough to get the job done. It's usually agreed that
you need at least 256MB RAM for Windows XP and Mac OS X. You
will only need 128MB for other operating systems in Windows or
Mac.
Storage space should not be a problem, most recent models come
with 60 to 100 GIG hard drives which should be sufficient space
for most companies. If your company deals in heavy graphics or
visual work more space can be obtained with an extra
external
hard drive.
The main function of your laptops should be considered. For
instance, if you have workers that require a lot of note-taking
(floor managers/inspectors, real estate agents, medical
personnel, etc.) a slate or tablet PC would be a more
appropriate choice for your company. If your workers or
employees do a lot of traveling then you want the lightest and
most portable laptop or notebook you can find.
Battery life will also be very important for the traveling
business person. Must recent laptops now supply 5 or more hours
of power - if you want more you should considered buying an
extra battery or two. Also, remember when choosing your laptop
battery always pick the battery with the higher numbered cells.
More cells will give you longer battery life.
Security is another consideration for your company's laptop. You
must be careful to protect sensitive company records or
documents - some notebooks like those in the IBM/Sonoma ThinkPad
series include an integrated fingerprint scanner for biometric
authentication that uses an Embedded Security Subsystem and
Password Manager. This offers extra security.
Along with security, your company will need a laptop that's
sturdy and well built, especially if your workers do a lot of
business traveling. Many laptops are ruggerized and can take a
decent pounding or two. Some even offer some novel sturdiness
features such as IBM's Active Protection System which is
designed to protect the hard drive from falls and spills for
those accident prone notebook users in your company.
Perhaps, the most important tip and buying factor is price.
Outfitting your workforce with laptops doesn't come cheap. But
you can save money if you practice that old adage - 'It pays to
shop around and bargain'! Don't just buy your laptops off the
rack - always speak to the manager. Even when buying laptops
online, contact the sales staff and try for a special price or
bargain. Since you're buying in bulk or volume, many laptop
companies and manufacturers will give you a special unit price.
The more units you're ordering, the lower the price.
A little haggling will go a long way in lowering the overall
cost of your company's laptop purchase; saving your company
money. And if you're the person in charge of this purchase,
making such a deal will reflect well on you, so try to go out of
your way to get a good deal!
But don't sacrifice quality for a special price, always make
sure you're buying laptops that can get the job done. Use the
laptop tips above to guide you on the right path. It should make
your task just be a little bit easier.
