 As
performance improves and prices continue to go down,
laptops increasingly replace desktop PCs at work. A
laptop offers a number of advantages, particularly portability.
Even if your business doesn't call for much travel,
you can take all of your data with you on a daily commute
or just down the hall for a presentation. Most of today's
laptops are just as capable as a basic business-desktop
PC and require much less desk space. The best business
laptops combine portability, performance, battery life,
and integrated wireless networking.
With the right technology in place,
a portable computer provides access to your files and
applications wherever you are, every corner of the world
becomes an extension of your office. Riding the train
or sitting in an airport, you can be just as productive
as if you were sitting in your desk chair.
There's a laptop for every class of
business user. Currently, at the beginning of this year,
the least expensive and least sophisticated laptops
(called budget or mainstream systems) start at £600
to £700. The smallest and lightest laptops (called
ultraportables) can run to £3,000 and beyond.
Very roughly, laptops cost about twice as much as their
desktop counterparts. So all things considered, you
should expect to pay between £1,000 and £1,500
for a nicely outfitted business laptop.

can take your office with you anywhere in the world!
