How to Buy a Laptop for Your Business?

Everybody wants to buy the best laptop brand and there are millions of opinions about which brand is worth buying. Anyhow, there are very few big name laptop producers who still produce their laptops. It is more cost effective for them to buy the laptop from companies from China, Taiwan etc. called Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) and just brand them. More about ODMs here.

What you should be looking at is not the brand name, but the warranty, features (especially the size, weight and the running time on battery) and price. The warranty in particular is very important for a laptop, from our experience the 3 year warranty laptops are by far more reliable than the ones with only one year vendor warranty.

Adding warranty from the retailer is not making the laptop more reliable, you get some peace of mind but how about the few weeks downtime if it’s crashing?
And by the way, the data on the hard drive is not covered in any way by the warranty, so you’d better have a good backup. If your laptop just crashed and you need the data from it contact us right away before sending the laptop to the warranty.
As a conclusion: Always pay for warranty and features not for the name.
