Entrepreneurs are the foundation of today’s economy. Some of the most successful people in the business world today are those who decided they were tired of working for someone else and struck out on their own. In fact, small business finance company Guidant Financial says more than a fourth of U.S entrepreneurs say their motivation for starting their own business was the idea of being their own boss.
Think about it. The computers we use in our daily lives, the online merchants from which we order the products we desire and even many of our favorite restaurants all had their genesis in businesses founded by entrepreneurs.
There’s no guarantee that starting your own business will lead to a life of riches, of course, but the possibilities are unlimited. Statistics compiled by research firm Wealth-X indicate that more than 60 percent of billionaires in the United States are self-made.
But as with any task, finding success as an entrepreneur is much easier when you have the right tools. One of those tools is the laptop computer you choose.
One of the traits that tends to be common among entrepreneurs is the ability to spot value. That’s a skill that would come in handy when choosing a laptop to serve as the foundation of a business.
And one of the lessons entrepreneurs learn early in their business venture is that the product that sells for the lowest price isn’t always one that offers the best value. That’s especially true for laptops.
Although prices change on nearly a daily basis, laptops range from $150 or so for an inexpensive Chromebook to $5,000 or more for a top-of-the-line gaming machine. The first questions to address when considering a laptop purchase, then, are “What will I use this laptop for?” and “How much am I willing to spend?”
Let’s assume that you’re looking for something that’s powerful enough to handle applications such as presentation software, document creation and spreadsheet management. You probably also want something that can handle videoconferencing and is rugged enough to take on the road. A $200 laptop isn’t likely to serve your needs, while a $5,000 machine may offer capabilities you’ll never use.
In addition, is there anything else for which you plan to use the laptop? Will you also use it as an entertainment appliance for watching movies or listening to music? If so, you’ll likely want a powerful processor and quality speakers. Will you be engaged in regular videoconferencing? You may want a built-in webcam and microphone. Will you be doing resource-intensive tasks such as video editing? Do you plan to pass your free time playing online games? If that’s you, you’ll want an even more powerful process as well high-end graphics capabilities.
Answering these questions will help narrow your laptop search.
We’ll address specifications such as processor power, graphics capabilities and memory below, but today’s laptops often include features that extend their functionality.
Some of the features that turn a laptop into a versatile business tool include 2-in-1 functionality; that is, the ability to serve as both a laptop and a tablet computer thanks to a 360-degree hinge where the keyboard meets the display. Such functionality is perfect for medical applications where you may be filling out a patient chart, taking notes in the field or as a tool for delivering presentations.
Along those lines is touchscreen capability that allows users to input information directly through the screen, greatly speeding up your work. In addition, many touchscreens offer the ability to sketch or take notes directly on the display, with some laptops capable of converting handwriting into text. The Windows 10 operating system includes a number of applications specifically designed for touch.
If you’re concerned about security, many newer laptops include fingerprint readers to prevent unauthorized access and specially designed screens that limit the angle from which they can be viewed, making them a perfect guard against prying eyes.
And for those who will be spending much of their time on the road, there are a number of powerful ultralight laptops on the market that weigh in at less than three pounds.
Laptop specifications can be as incomprehensible as ancient Greek, and there are literally hundreds of laptops with varying specifications on the market. Determining the specifications you’ll need, then, depends in large part on the tasks for which you’ll be using the laptop.
Let’s look at some of the specifications to consider and what are the minimum specs you’re likely to need:
Operating system– When it comes to the computer’s operating system your choices are the Chrome OS, the Apple OS and Windows 10. The Chrome OS is gaining popularity for educational applications, but it’s limited to software specifically designed for Chromebooks. The Apple OS is popular for image and video editing, but when it comes to business computers Windows 10 is the standard. Windows is by far the most popular OS in the world, and nearly every productivity software suite is available in a Windows version.
Processor power– Lower-end processors such as the AMD E-Series, Intel Atom, Intel Pentium and Intel Celeron may be suitable for tasks such as Web browsing or document creation, but they’re not recommended for most business applications. Midrange CPUs such as the Intel® Core™ m3, m5 and m7 are commonly found in lightweight laptops, but may not offer the power you need for resource-intensive tasks. Intel® Core™ i3 and i5 processors are a great option for most business applications such as emailing, Web browsing or handling large spreadsheets. If you’re using your laptop for gaming or for tasks such as video editing, the Intel® Core™ i7 is a great fit, but if not it’s likely more power than you’ll need.
Memory (RAM): When it comes to memory, 4GB is the bare minimum you should consider. These days, 8 GB of memory is the standard. If you engage in the aforementioned gaming or video editing you may want to buy a laptop with 16 GB or more, but for normal business use 8 GB is sufficient.
HDD and SSD: Although hard disk (HDD) drives are common, solid state (SSD) drives are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their ruggedness. Because SSD drives don’t contain moving parts (unlike the spinning platter that’s the foundation of HDD drives), they’re less susceptible to damage from bumps or drops. In addition, the price of SSD drives continues to fall, making them competitive with laptops featuring an HDD drive. When it comes to capacity, unless you’re storing large video files 256 GB will likely serve your needs.
Graphics: Most midrange laptops include integrated graphics, with the graphics processor incorporated directly into the motherboard. That’s likely to be sufficient for most business applications, but if you’re going to use the laptop for video editing or gaming you’ll need a computer with a dedicated graphics card. AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards are the standards when it comes to those applications.
Battery life: If you spend a great deal of time in the airport or your office is the local coffee shop, you’ll want a battery that offers long life. These days, 16 hours or more of charge is common.
When it comes to providing entrepreneurs with the tools they need for success, Lenovo stands at the ready. We offer two laptop lines specifically designed with entrepreneurs in mind.
