The Best SIM Deals For Business In 2019
Icaro Aveiga
The end of the year is a great time to buy a business laptop due to the excellent deals available, and potentially the tax benefits. We'll let you or your tax expert determine whether the latter applies to your business, but when it comes to the former consider us your dedicated team of laptop experts that review dozens of laptops annually to help find the very best business laptops.
The Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 is our current pick for the best business laptop, ticking all of the boxes above and offering a gorgeous display, solid performance, and 15 hours of battery life! However, if you prefer Acer, Apple, Dell, or HP there are compelling options at varying price points from them all.
Lenovo's ThinkPad Z16 unseats the long-standing champ of our best business laptops, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The keys to its victory are almost 15 hours of battery life, a beautiful and durable chassis, phenomenal security, and performance that will be the envy of your co-workers.
It isn't the thinnest and lightest business laptop at 4 pounds, so if you are a frequent business traveler you should consider one of the other options on our list, but for remote or office workers that need a powerful and reliable laptop that will last for years, look no further.
While the performance won't have the Dragonfly G3 doubling as your gaming laptop in your downtime, it's more than enough to handle productivity and web browsing tasks and that efficiency over raw power is a worthwhile tradeoff for business users.
Factoring in the productivity-enhancing 3:2 aspect ratio, the comfortable clicky keyboard, the spacious touchpad, solid webcam and 2.2-pound weight and you have a fantastic option for business users that travel or are frequently moving around the office or working remotely.
With a blend of flexibility and battery life, the Dell Latitude 9430 is the best 2-in-1 business laptop. It cruised to 12 hours and 39 minutes in our Laptop Mag Battery test. But that's hardly the only reason to choose it; the bright InfinityEdge display lets Dell squeeze a 14-inch display into a super slim 0.54-inch chassis.
Add in excellent enterprise-grade security from its vPro processor, secure and convenient login via its FHD IR camera or fingerprint reader and you have a business laptop that justifies its admittedly high price.
