HP 3115m mini business laptop
Remember the HP Pavilion dm1? This is just like it, only it comes in different clothes… business clothes. Let me remind you what you’re getting: Business can come cheap especially if you manage your tasks and files with the HP 3115m. No, this isn’t and advertising campaign for one of HP’s laptops but at $ 429 this has to be one of the cheapest business portable computers out there. I’ll admit this is nothing but a Pavilion dm1 with fancier clothes. There are three specs you’re going to like the most: the 11.6″ 1366×768 display, the AMD E-450 processor and the reported 11.5 hour battery life. The rest is really there to impress spec freaks: 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Beats Audio and all the usual ports: USB, HDMI out, card slot and connectivity options such as WiFi and Bluetooth. It comes out November 11th. Are going to buy it? Popularity: [...]

HP ProBook 4430s: A Business Laptop With a Dash of Class
PCWorld Rating 3.0 3.0 / 5 – PCWorld, Oct 24, 2011 Pros Good screen and input ergonomics Attractive and affordable Cons No USB 3.0 Modest performance and battery life Bottom Line A nice looking, but still journeyman business laptop that lacks USB 3.0. Images (click to enlarge) The HP 4430s is endowed with above-average looks, but in other respects it is the epitome of a basic, all-purpose business laptop. It’s good at nearly everything, though not so good that you’re likely to think “This is it!” It offers biometric security, but lacks USB 3.0 or eSATA for quick local backup. If the brushed-aluminum-and-black, 4.5-pound 4430s were a bit thinner, it might turn even more heads. But going with the stocky profile enabled HP to include a DVD-RW drive. The rest of our $ 579 test unit’s components were capable, though unspectacular: an Intel Core i3-2310M, 4GB of system memory, and [...]
Four Virtual Assistants Tackle Real-World Business Tasks
A new breed of services called virtual assistants let you outsource just about any task overseas, as long as the work can be done with a computer and a telephone. Virtual assistants are contract workers, generally paid by the hour, who perform menial tasks. The more mundane the job, the better–finding flights and hotels, paying bills, or buying birthday gifts for relatives you’d rather pretend you didn’t exist. Think of virtual assistants as old-school secretaries, except that they can’t drop off and retrieve your dry cleaning or take your vehicle to the car wash because they live 7000 miles away. That’s a shame, because following our tests of four such services, we’d feel a lot more comfortable handing over our dirty clothes to these operations than entrusting critical business tasks to them. Focusing on how a small business might use virtual assistants, we gave each service the same three tasks [...]

Motorola ET1 Business Tablet (video)
Motorola may be preparing the next generation Xoom but behind closed doors the now Google owned manufacturer has been working all this time on a smaller business tablet. Meet the Motorola ET1 A business user doesn’t need a full 10.1″ display on a tablet. Although the full sized tablets are usable a 7″ display is more manageable when doing business. That’s why Motorola has released the ET1, a (you guessed it!) 7″ capacitive 1024×600 tablet which runs Android 2.3.4. We can’t shake the feeling Google were a bit too late to get Honeycomb inside it. Users will be happy to find out the tablet comes with a dual-core OMAP4 1GHz processor, 4GB storage and 1GB RAM. There is a micro SD card slot, two USB ports (one of them being a docking port), WiFi, Bluetooth,GPS and HDMI out. Business users will also enjoy the toughness of the tablet. Although it makes [...]

11-inch Macbook Air (2011) Review
Conclusion It is widely agreed that the 11-inch Macbook Air 2011 is the most affordable laptop offered by Apple. Most reviewers recommend this very laptop to students and business men. Still, there is a suggestion to pay more than the base configuration if one wanted to purchase the Macbook so that there is more on board storage offered. The 11-inch Macbook Air 2011 has everything we ever wanted such as the superbly fast performance, thin and light features and a comfy backlit keyboard as well as the best glass trackpad ever. However, there are a few downside of it for example the below average battery life and limited on board storage. If you have a thick wallet and do not need an ultrathin design, you might want to consider paying an extra hundred bucks to get the 13-inch Macbook Pro. 11-inch Macbook Air (2011) Review Summary Likes Dislikes 11-inch Macbook [...]

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet Review: A Tablet That Means Business
With the ThinkPad Tablet, Lenovo distinguishes itself as the first company with two tablets clearly aimed at two different markets. The company did a solid job with its consumer-focused IdeaPad K1, released midsummer. The ThinkPad Tablet (starting at $ 499 for a 16GB model, price as of 9/23/2011), like its laptop brethren, has its sights squarely set on business users. And like the ThinkPad laptops, Lenovo largely succeeds in putting together a business-worthy package with its own design, features, and bundled software. From the outside, the ThinkPad Tablet looks as if it would fit right in with Lenovo’s classic matte black case designs. The back is covered with a soft, slightly rubberized surface, the front bezel finished off with a piano-black plastic. The ThinkPad Tablet has a starkly different design as compared with its sibling, the IdeaPad. It has four physical buttons on the front, situated along the bottom beneath [...]
