Business Laptops Offer Processing Speeds for All Users
There are a variety of internal processors available to meet the needs of light computer users and advanced users alike. Intel® and AMD offer several models that vary from low power options for casual users to highly powerful systems for gaming, 3D modeling, and other heavy-duty applications. The Intel Core™ i3 provides a low power option for those not requiring a significant amount of processing speed while the Core i5 offers additional power to meet the needs of most standard business professionals or students. For those working with high-resolution graphics, editing videos, or playing and designing video games and virtual reality models, the Core i7 offers the required processing power. AMD A, FX, and E models provide enough power for surfing the web, working with standard office and productivity tools, and viewing media while the AMD Ryzen™ offers chips that compare in processing power to both the Core i5 and i7 models. For more robust processing power for professional grade modeling or programming, try the Intel Xeon® for larger workstations.

High Definition Display Screens in Business Laptops
For crystal-clear images, choose full HD displays with high resolution. For photo-editing applications with twisted nematic panels, always try to set up the laptop with the screen at the same angle for optimal consistency. In-plane switching panels offer a more consistent appearance of colors and shading at almost all viewing angles for easier set-up and editing.

What Multimedia Features are Available for Business Laptops?
Choose models with Bluetooth® connectivity to connect wirelessly to speakers, headphones, microphones, or other devices. Look for USB ports for quick access to stored documents, or SD ports for managing photos, videos, and other files. HDMI® ports allow easy connectivity to televisions and monitors while USB 3.0 slots are commonly used for external hard drives and data transfer between devices.

What Sizes of Business Laptops are Available?
For optimum portability, choose thinner, lightweight models with smaller screens that range between 10.1-inches to 14-inches to transport in a backpack, purse, or briefcase. Ideal for those who travel frequently, or students who need access in the classroom, the library, and the dorm room. Larger models ranging from 15.6-inches to 17-inch widescreen displays offer additional screen space and resolution for working with multiple windows at a time, editing graphics and videos, or creating slides and presentations. Measure laptops diagonally from corner to corner for consistent specifications and to compare models.

What is the Difference Between Memory and Hard Drive Storage?
Business laptops are available with a wide range of memory and storage space options, so it’s important to understand what to look for when choosing the ideal model. Memory is the amount of RAM available in the system while storage indicates the amount of hard disk space. The memory holds the information and data required at the time of use and keeps it accessible for quick reference and loading. With a higher memory, computers can perform more functions and hold all data being used to allow the system to respond quickly when a significant amount of information is required simultaneously. The hard drive stores all documents, files, and programs even when the computer is off.
