Top 5 Laptop Models That are Great for Business Use This 2015



While personal computers have higher storage capacities and faster processors, laptops offer features and benefits that are almost the same, sometimes even more, which made students and business owners to turn towards getting the best laptops in the market today. Laptops provide users with easier access, greater efficiency, and unrivaled portability. The last one mentioned is basically the main advantage of having a laptop. Having a small-sized computer allows users to carry it anywhere, allowing them to work on their task or perform any kind of computer work anytime. A laptop consumes much less power compared to a desktop computer and can still work using its batteries in case a power outage occur. Also, there are several private and public wireless networks that provide easy access of the Web to its users.


Here we have a list of top laptop models that are perfect for business people. Each one has a feature that will meet your every business need.

Lenovo ThinkPad T450s

This laptop is made for business because of its fast performance, long battery life, and the best keyboard anywhere. That's why this 14-inch notebook, an update to the former T440s, is considered as the best overall work laptop. The ThinkPad T450s boasts a sharp and clear full-HD display, a durable design, and perks like Lenovo's TrackPoint pointing stick, which provides more precise navigation than the touchpad. The notebook also provides approximately 16 hours and 1 minute battery life if you opt for Lenovo's extended battery.
Key features:
  • TrackPoint pointing stick
  • Hot-swappable battery
  • Fingerprint reader (optional)
  • Solid state drive (optional)
  • Touch screen (optional)
Desktop dock compatible (not included)


Dell XPS 13

If you're a business owner who frequently travels, the Dell XPS 13 is the right laptop for you. Dell managed to cram a 13-inch notebook into the footprint of an 11-inch system by trimming the bezel around the display. It's less than half of what you would normally find on most other notebooks with just 0.2 thick. The XPS 13 is compact and well-built, with a gorgeous screen, fast performance, and surprisingly good audio quality. You may have to pay a lot of extra to get it with a touchscreen, but even then, it's priced in line with other flagship Ultrabooks -- and in some ways it's a better choice, too.
Key features:
  • Edge-to-edge display
  • Thin and light design
  • Small footprint
  • Solid state drive 
  • Touch screen (optional)
Desktop dock compatible (not included)


Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro

If you're looking a business-oriented notebook that has a versatile function, Lenovo's Yoga 3 Pro is your best candidate. This 2-in-1 hybrid device can fold backward a full 180 degrees, which allows you to use it like a large tablet or fold out the keyboard if you need to get down to work. The Yoga 3 Pro boasts an elegant watchband-style hinge that gives it a thinner overall design. Some other features include an awesome 3,200 x 1,800 pixel touchscreen display, fast Core M processor and a lightweight design of 2.6 lbs only.
Key features:
  • Thin and light design
  • Convertible laptop/tablet
  • Solid state drive 
  • Touch screen (optional)
Desktop dock compatible (not included)


Microsoft Surface Pro 3

The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is undoubtedly the most attractive and capable device Microsoft has ever produced. This laptop/tablet hybrid is designed for use with a keyboard, even though the accessory is sold separately. The Type Cover keyboard is one of the better tablet keyboards you will find, with its superthin design and good trackpad. Its 12.2-inch tablet display is spacious and sharp, which provides a surprising amount of real estate to work on. The Surface Pro 3 has a stylus included, allowing you to take notes directly on the pressure-sensitive display. Another great thing about the Surface Pro 3 is its built-in kickstand that comes useful for taking down notes because it gives users a good angle for writing.
Key features:
  • Thin and light design
  • 2-in-1 hybrid (detachable keyboard sold separately)
  • Pressure-sensitive display
  • Pen included
  • Solid state drive 
  • Touch screen 
Desktop dock compatible (not included)


MacBook Air (13 inch, 2014)

The Apple MacBook Air is a winning choice for business users who want an ultraportable notebook with lasting battery power, where tests claimed that the superthin device lasted for a good 12 hours. Even though its 13-inch display could be sharper, you'll be compensated with its premium aluminum build, comfortable keyboard, precise touchpad, and new ways to connect your MacBook to your iPhone. It may not have a Retina display, but this notebook does have a slightly more powerful processor that doesn't ding the battery life, and it's $100 cheaper. This gives users a compact, powerful, and productive laptop that will definitely suit many business users' needs.
Key features:
  • OS X Yosemite
  • iPhone continuity
  • Solid state drive
  • Thin and light design
  • Long battery life
