GADGET/LAPTOP SPECIAL... Give your productivity a boost with these business laptops


Give your productivity a boost with these business laptops

These are the most dependable performers to help you with your work for years to come

There is no good laptop in the world if it is not serving your needs well. A laptop can be good based on its design, processor, graphics, otherwise, even a keyboard is enough to affect your productivity.
Similarly, a good business laptop combines cutting edge productivity features with a portable design, and good battery life. If you feel your productivity is constrained by your existing laptop, here is a list of recommendations that will live up to your expectations.

The ultra-thin business laptop that sacrifices nothing
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
Previous versions of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 have been the best-in-class when it comes to business laptops and this year’s edition of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon compromises on nothing — be it portability or performance. It has a compact profile reinforced with carbon fibre, and comes with pretty much every feature you need in a productivity machine.

A business ultraportable that punches above its weight
Dell XPS 13 (2017)
Dell classifies the XPS 13 as a business laptop, albeit one that is geared towards a home-office environment. Its powerful Intel Kaby Lake processors and bezel-less ‘Infinity Edge’ display, which shoves a 13.3-inch screen into an 11-inch frame, makes a significant impression. It can be upgraded to 16GB of RAM and has a 1TB M2 SSD drive.

The tech giant’s best notebook
Apple Macbook Air 2017
If you don’t need the latest and pricey Apple laptop, the Macbook Air 2017, is the closest to the experience. It is the best laptop for those who refrain from poking holes in their pockets but have no scope to compromise with the performance. It has a good battery life which lasts up to nine hours of work without a hitch.
CPU: Dual-core Intel Core i5 – i7 | Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 6000 | RAM: 8 GB | Screen: 13.3-inch, (1440X900)

Best if you’re looking for something portable with a decent keyboard
Lenovo ThinkPad E470
Powered by the 7th generation Intel Core processors, this SKU has a 14-inch FHD anti-glare display, powered by a discrete Nvidia Geforce 940MX 2GB GPU. Equipped with a spill resistant keyboard, a TrackPoint and click pad with 3+2 buttons, the E470 has more than enough ports and expansion capabilities to keep the average user happy.
CPU: CoreTM i7 7500U 7th Gen Intel | Graphics: NVidia 940MX 2GB DDR3 | RAM: 8GB | Screen: 14-inch, 1920X1080 pixels

A notebook that oozes luxury as well as functionality
HP Spectre Pro 13
The HP Spectre Pro 13 G1 is a device that not only oozes luxury, but also packs some great components. Despite being just over 10mm thick and weighing just over 1.16kg, it manages to pack a Core i7 CPU with a full HD 13.3-inch display, a massive 4-cell 38whr battery and three USB Type C connectors.
