          The perfect business notebook – Available from Bechtle.

          Business notebooks need to fulfil a wealth of requirements to help you through your day-to-day work, which is why you need a device that is as robust as it is reliable. With extensive functionality and applications, business notebooks are full-featured work machines that are also much easier to upgrade and customise than their consumer counterparts. No matter if in the office, at home or on the road, business notebooks facilitate seamless working, high productivity and far-reaching flexibility. You’re sure to find a device that’s a perfect fit for you here at Bechtle. Looking for a convertible to work with ease on the road? Lenovo, Acer and HP have you covered. Need a notebook that can keep pace with fast development cycles? We’ve got a portfolio of Microsoft Surface devices that guarantee efficient coding. Looking for a specific model or have more pressing needs? Use our filters to help you find exactly what you are looking for.

           

          Boost office efficiency and productivity.

          Packing high-performance components into a compact form factor, business notebooks do much more than simply replace a desktop PC. These enterprise devices power maximum employee efficiency with the ability to access programs and files and collaborate with partners anywhere with ease. A business laptop delivers high computing power so you can knuckle down on projects wherever you are, while the long battery life keeps you up and running in the office and on business trips. High-resolution displays help reduce eye strain and device portability allows you to choose where you’re working from. By giving you flexibility in your working day, you benefit from a much improved work-life balance, which in turn boosts productivity and wellbeing.

           

          Powerful business notebooks.

          When you’re in the market for enterprise notebooks, there are a few factors to take into consideration. Weight is one, but performance is critical. There’s a range of office and industrial-grade notebooks with a variety of RAM and SSD capacities to support an array of different requirements. For your typical office apps, 8 GB of RAM is plenty, but if your business is running complex applications for design and video editing, we recommend at least 16 GB RAM. Business notebooks usually come with 256 GB SSDs and this capacity is perfectly sufficient when it comes to everyday office activities. Graphic design and architecture files, however, are usually quite big, so it’s worth investing in a notebook with a 512 GB or even a 1 TB SSD for long-term security. Then there are the processors and graphics cards to consider. You need to keep an eye out for models with discrete graphics cards rather than iGPUs (integrated graphics processing unit) to ensure your employees benefit from the highest performance. Depending on the tasks your staff have, however, there are customisation options. Engineers, developers, but also research and science teams benefit greatly from industrial notebooks with powerful processors. A long battery life guarantees location-agnostic security and efficient performance, which is ideal for everyone working in the field.

           

          Speedy computing with effective processors.

          Processors are at the heart of each business notebook. They run all the commands and power every operation. Processor performance differs. The more cores it has, the faster and more resilient it is. The leading CPU manufacturers, Intel and AMD, offer tough processors for office notebooks. Do you need nots of power to run graphic and game design or architecture applications? Or maybe you are looking for a developer notebook to enable your team to easily write and compile hardware and software code? Then you need a processor that can lift some heavy weights. Both Intel and AMD offer processor families that have been engineered for precisely these needs. When you buy your business notebook, make sure that it has at least Intel i7, or better yet, i9 CPUs, or AMD Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9. If, however, your employees need devices primarily to process text, research information online, engage with customers, or run typical marketing or property management applications, an entry-level model is likely all you need. In this case, processors with fewer cores, but at least five, are recommended as good investments for the future. The other factor to consider before buying is clock rate, which indicates how quickly the CPU performs calculations and executes commands. As a general rule, the higher the rate, the faster the notebook works. However, modern processors also leverage technologies such as pipelining (executing processes similar to an industrial assembly line) and multi-threading (when several processes run in parallel), which means that better overall performance can be achieved even at a lower frequency. 

           

          Top picture quality with high-resolution displays.

          In many businesses, the use of notebooks is unavoidable, and in many cases even the option of choice, but you need to make sure the screen is up to scratch. Ensuring the best picture quality is crucial as the light from screens can, over time, strain the eyes. To ensure your employees’ wellbeing while at work, you need to make sure the screen is of a high quality and you can select models with varying display sizes, surfaces, resolutions and maximum brightness depending on personal need. For people with everyday office tasks, smaller screens between 13" (approx. 33 cm) and 15" (approx. 38 cm) are plenty. 13" is the best choice for those employees who travel a lot for business while 15" offers the perfect balance between portability and screen real estate and is therefore a good option for most members of staff. If the business notebook is going to be primarily used in one place, 17" (approx. 43 cm) is recommended. There is no real upper limit for business devices for jobs that require highly detailed graphics, so that will come down to the employees’ personal choice. Similar is true of resolution. Image and video editing jobs benefit most from 4K or even 8K, but this isn’t necessarily the case in retail. Additional features like an anti-glare surface, touchscreen and built-in bluelight filter are also options to consider to protect the eyes. By optimising picture quality, the strain on your eyes can be kept to a minimum. If you work in the industrial sector, when it comes to choosing a notebook you should also think about ruggedised, splashproof devices with toughened screens.

          Graphics cards can also be essential, particularly in graphic design, video editing and other creative professions. Vivid colours and deep blacks in high resolutions guarantee the best quality when it comes to creating images, models and videos. The most popular GPUs on the market are from AMD and NVIDIA. NVIDIA’s Quadro-series and AMD’s Radeon Pro series have been specifically engineered for sophisticated professional applications. Both brands offer a range of outstandingly powerful graphics cards and which one you go for is, ultimately, down to personal preference.

           

          Long battery life for the best efficiency.

          The ability to work without having to be plugged into the mains is the huge benefit of notebooks. A battery life of up to eight hours means you can work effectively from anywhere and this mobility makes a business notebook a real all-rounder. No matter if you are on a business trip, in a meeting or working remotely, a business notebook gives you access to your most important programs and documents at any time, from any place. And should you get stuck somewhere without power, you can rest assured your files are still safe and secure. Even though you can pretty much expect modern business notebooks to come with an extensive battery life, it’s a detail that you need to consider depending on where your employees are working. Service providers in sales and those working out in the field need powerful batteries, as do architects and specialist staff in industrial environments. Here, you should be looking at devices with ten or more hours of battery for long working days. In principle, Ultrabooks are the perfect choice, i.e. models that are particularly light, but at the same time deliver extremely high performance thanks to more than 8 GB RAM and at least 256 GB storage. 

           

          The right accessories.

          To get the absolute best out your business notebook, it is well worth investing in some peripherals. If you’re going to be using the device as a fixed workstation, it makes sense to look into additional monitors. And don’t forget about input devices like mice and keyboards which can be easily connected using a docking station. As your business notebook is going to have all your latest projects on them, you need to make sure they are well-protected with security features such as fingerprint sensors, facial recognition and security chips. Storage media such as SSDs and HDDS help securely store all your files in another location, which also helps with portability. At Bechtle, we also have printers, projectors and phones for all your needs. Operating systems such as Windows and other software are also available to purchase in our online shop.

           

          Choosing the best business notebook.

          The perfect notebook for your company and teams’ needs depends on a whole range of factors. To help you make the best choice, keep these questions in mind:

          • Performance: What work is going to be done on the devices? Do your employees process text or do they work in graphic design? This should inform the choice of processor and graphics card.
          • Display: What screen size would best suit the work you do? Does your team need to be mobile? Would they prefer greater screen real estate? Designers will need bigger displays than those working out in the field.
          • Battery: How long should your notebook be able to run before it needs to be charged? Will it be taken on frequent business trips or used rather as a fixed workstation? Consider the availability of power sockets while working. 
          • Connectivity: How many external devices will be connected to the notebook? Keyboards and mice tend to need a single USB port, but you need to make sure that there are plenty of other ports available for other external hardware like monitors, printers and hard drives.
          • Storage capacity: How much storage do your employees need for their files, applications and projects? This comes down to the industry as an architect is going to need much more storage capacity than someone in property management.
          • Security features: Which security features are needed? As business notebooks often have highly sensitive data saved on them, you need to think about how they should be protected. A fingerprint reader is often enough, but a smart card reader might also be a good idea.

           

          The best business notebooks for …

          • The home office: Consider performance (CPU), screen resolution, webcams, an in-built microphone and peripherals.
          • Business trips: Compact dimensions, light weight, a long battery life and rugged design are the top priorities.
          • Trade industries: Rugged notebooks with powerful batteries are also useful here as are sufficient connectivity options and maybe even a touchscreen display. 
          • Architecture: Architects need especially powerful processes and graphics cards as well as high-resolution displays. When it comes to storage, 1 TB or more is ideal.
          • Manufacturing and heavy industries: In this sector, you need to make sure your devices are dust, splash and knock-proof. For those long working days, we also recommend a long battery life, reliable connectivity and integrated security features. 
          • Designers: When your teams are working on image and video editing, they need a high-resolution display with precise colours and a powerful GPU. A fast SSD and lots of RAM can also help boost efficiency.
