Honestly for business use, it really doesn’t matter. You’re not doing anything that computers could do 10 years ago. I’d recommend the cheapest laptop you can get with the screen size you want. Generally 14.1″ and 15.4″ laptops are the most versatile. I personally have an eMachines E620 that I use for university. I run XP on it. It is actually what I’m typing on now and it does everything I want it to except that it’s really too slow for gaming. As far as business or education applications go, it’s perfect. It’s only got a single-core processor, 160GB hard drive 2GB of RAM and primitive ATi Radeon X1200 graphics but that’s still more than enough to run Windows XP or Windows 7. As long as you’re not gaming or doing intensive 3D graphic design, get whatever’s cheapest. Business files are small and a 160GB hard drive, while small by gaming desktop standards, would be almost impossible to fill. I’ll make some recommendations for you but I’ll tell you a couple of key facts to start of with.
1. Acer owns Gateway, eMachines and Packard-Bell. The differences between them are aesthetic only and insignificant.
2. HP owns Compaq. Often the differences are not even aesthetic, just the label is different.
3. Lenovo bought IBM’s personal computer division. However, do not expect IBM reliability from Lenovo. (Not that it matters because technology moves so fast that reliability isn’t even factor anymore.)
4. Dell owns Alienware… don’t even bother, they’re designed for gaming and way too expensive.
Having said all that, brand is the last thing you should look at when considering a laptop because inside, they’re all made in China with parts supplied by the lowest bidder.
Here’s my recommendation to you:
Acer, 4GB RAM, 250GB HD and only $430
or if you’re prefer something smaller like a netbook…
MSI Wind U100-018US Intel Atom 1.6GHz Champagne Pink with Wireless-N adapter for $250
My guess is that you’d be much happier with the Acer. Alouette Radeon HD.4870
Some Discussions on Working Through Aries, that I found on the internet.
The couple of discussions I ran across on the internet suggest that for $200+ up front payments, training and waiting end up with insufficient support call jobs, one person indicted business is not as good as it was some years ago and that they have too large a worker pool. One might hae made it if they were a more aggresive sale person.
Anyway, looks like any PC will do the job, get an eternal mouse if you use a laptop for more than 5 minutes at a time. Best of luck… Jakester
