What are they ?
Systems that offer more durability and security features than mainstream consumer notebooks. The business lines of most major manufacturers include notebooks that range from ultraportables and Tablet PCs to mammoth desktop replacements and workstations.
Who are they for?
Business notebooks are targeted at mobile professionals and IT managers seeking a stable, secure platform.
What to Expect:
Security & Protection
To us, a true business notebook should offer a TPM security module for network authentication, as well as a fingerprint reader or SmartCard support to decrease the likelihood of stolen data while eliminating the need to remember multiple passwords. An included suite of utilities should tie all of these features together to make things easy on the user as well as the IT manager.
Durability
Business notebooks should be built to last, with a strong magnesium alloy frame and a hard drive protection system that includes shock absorption in case of a fall. We consider spill-proof keyboards to be a nice bonus in this category.
Standard Displays
Some vendors are starting to introduce widescreen notebooks into their business lines to appeal to end users, but for the most part you’ll find standard aspect ratio displays. Also keep in mind that business notebooks tend to avoid trendier glossy displays in favor of an anti-reflective coating.
Shared Accessories
Since business notebooks are often bought in large volume, be sure that the vendor you choose offers port replicators, extended batteries, docking systems, and other accessories that can be used across the product line.
Modular Bays
Business notebooks should allow workers the flexibility to swap out an optical drive, for example, to insert an extra battery or hard drive for more storage.
Long Life Spans
Business notebooks tend to be on the market for at least 15 months before any significant update, compared with 9 months or less for consumer systems. This is to give peace of mind to IT managers and CIOs who don’t want to have to deal with the management headaches of frequent platform transitions.
Gugl vse ve...zakva bi moral mi še 1x pisat? Če pa napišem, katera znamka pa v 90% modelih najbolj izpolnjuje vse te pogoje pa že svoje hvalim.
PS. IBM-a ne bi imel, če ne bi blo viška dnarja in ga dobil zelo ugodno (bolha), ker je moj T43 v taki specifikaciji dobre 2 leti nazaj stal cca. 550kSIT. Osebki, kateri pa potrebujejo biznis notebook si ga pa tudi privoščijo lahko....oz. ne....kupi jih firma.
