Picking out a new laptop for work can be particularly confusing. With so many options available, it’s hard to tell which model, features, and price range will best suit your needs. Customers often approach us and want to know what certain terminology means and how they should configure their laptop. I will explain the terminology you should be familiar with to purchase a laptop online from Dell or Lenovo that meets your needs.
Let’s start with a brief overview of product lines for Dell and Lenovo laptops (business-grade only).
Dell Vostro: Mid-range laptop. Runs from around $400 to $700 plus tax and shipping where applicable. XP “downgrade” available. Balance of features, build-quality, and price.
Dell Latitude: Dell’s high-end business laptop. Runs from around $600 to $1000 plus tax and shipping where applicable. XP “downgrade” available. Good build-quality and features available.
Lenovo Thinkpad SL-series: Entry-level business laptop. Solid build construction (don’t be fooled by the outdated looks!). Priced between $500 and $700. XP “downgrade” available. ”
Lenovo Thinkpad R-series: Mid-range laptop with more features and options than the SL. Priced between $700 and $900.
Lenovo Thinkpad T-series: Lenovo’s (and IBM’s) long-standing flagship laptop line. The T-series has all the goodies available, along with excellent build-quality. Price varies from $800 to $1300+.
Next, I’ll introduce you to some technical terms you’ll encounter when browsing or customizing a laptop on Dell or Lenovo’s site.
Processor: What you’ll be interested in is the Intel Core 2 Duo (C2D) technology. Essentially, it can be described as two processors (cores) on one chip. There is a very noticeable speed difference from processors offered in laptops 4-5 years ago.
