Laptops
If you want to mobilise your sales or project management staff, getting them to spend more time with clients and less time catching up on paperwork in the office or if you are making a case for a new charity project to get a team out in the community, then a Blackberry mobile device could be the answer. However, most businesses will get the most productivity from investing in laptop computers.
If you haven't bought a laptop recently, then you could be in for a nice surprise. Laptops are now comparable to desktop PCs in both performance and price. It used to be the case that laptop users would also have a faster desktop PC to use when they came back into the office but this is no longer necessary.
High-performance dual core processors and dedicated graphics options, mobile broadband, longer battery life, brighter screens and comfortable keyboards mean that laptops can be used all day long*. You can always plug into a larger flat panel monitor and USB or wireless keyboard and mouse left on your desk if your prefer.
