Best Small Business Laptop

Many years ago people were using some really big and heavy computers, that were also capable of doing just some simple tasks. But in time the technology evolved more and more, so that today we have very small and light computers, that are capable of doing very complex tasks. And we refer here to the laptops, which are portable computers. A laptop has all the components of a desktop PC (display screen, keyboard, processor, RAM memory etc), and it is capable of doing the same tasks. But the difference is at dimensions and weight. A laptop is much smaller, thinner and lighter than a PC, and it has all of the components integrated into a single unit. So this means that it is highly portable, and can be taken almost anywhere with you.

There are many types of laptops, and they can be used by many categories of people. And one certain category of people, that used laptops from their beginnings, are the business men. Many business men are using laptops and taking them when traveling for business purposes, but they are also used inside some companies, at the offices, instead of the classic desktop computers. Not only that they save a lot of space, they use less energy and they can also be easily moved from one office to the other, and even outside of it. So the best small business laptops will need to fulfill some conditions, and here they are: first of all they need to come with a good operating system, for example the Windows 7 Professional or the Windows 7 Ultimate, that are great for business men and their specific activities and programs.

Since it is possible that the business man will take its laptop outside the office, and use it at a business meeting in other city, or anywhere else, his notebook will also need to have a good battery life (at least 4 hours or more). Since a business laptop has a lot of top secret information on it, about the company or the business it will need a lot of protection…a bigger one compared to a simple laptop used by a regular person. So a password on the operating system is not enough, and it will also need to have advanced security features, such as file encryption or a fingerprint reader. And this way only one person can use that laptop, and have access to all the files.

A good small business laptop also needs to have both wireless and Ethernet connectivity for easy access to the internet and also Bluetooth connectivity. Depending on the activities the business man is doing, and on the software programs he is using, he may also need a powerful computer, with a fast processor, a big RAM memory and also a large hard drive to store a lot of information. An Intel Core i3 processor or better is recommended, 4 GB of RAM memory would be ok and a hard drive of around 320 GB. Also depending on the programs he is using, the business man may also need a good graphics engine, with at least 512 MB of dedicated video memory. And of course, for carrying the laptop much easier when on the road, it needs to be light, with a weight smaller than 5.5 lbs.

There are many models of notebooks on the market that are fulfilling most of these conditions, and which are really good for small businesses, and some examples would be: the Toshiba – Satellite Pro Laptop with Intel ® Core ™ 2 Duo Processor – Steel Gray Metallic, Model: PSLU 1U- 009004 (649 dollars), the Apple ® – MacBook ® Pro with 17″ Display – Aluminum, Model: MC 024 LL/A (2,300 dollars), the Sony – VAIO Laptop with Intel ® Core ™ i3 Processor – Black, Model: VPCB 11 QGX/B (849 dollars), the Sony – VAIO Laptop with Intel ® Core ™ i3 Processor – Black, Model: VPCCW 2 MGX/B (849 dollars), the Toshiba – Satellite Laptop with Intel ® Core ™ i3 Processor – Quantum Black, Model: A 505 – S 6025 (785 dollars), or the Toshiba – Satellite Laptop with Intel ® Pentium ® Processor – Black, Model: M 505-S 4972 (649 dollars).
