The benefits of a business laptop

In addition to laptops for private use, there are also laptops specifically designed for business use. Do you use your laptop at the office, as a freelancer, of if you're visiting with a client? A business laptop with Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro offers a couple of advantages, like better security and easy remote working options. Here, you can read all about the advantages of a business laptop.

Advantages business laptop

Advantages business laptop

A business laptop has a number of advantages. In this article, we'll discuss the following advantages that a business laptop has for you:

  • Easy to join to a domain
  • Easy to upgrade
  • Warranty extendable
  • Data is well protected
  • Resistant to impact
  • Take advantage of a corporate discount

What are the advantages of Windows Pro?

With Windows Pro, you can easily add a laptop to your business domain. This provides quick access to peripherals, like printers. The manager of the domain can also simply run software updates for all connected Windows Pro appliances. You can connect to your PC at the office via Remote Desktop as well, which gives you access to the files on that other computer. This is useful if you work from home for the day, for example. Windows pro also encrypts your files automatically, so they can't be viewed by just anyone. That way, your privacy is guaranteed too.

Which connection options do you have?

Connect your business laptop via USB-C or Thunderbolt for the fastest connection

Business laptops often have faster connectors than other laptops. As a result, you can connect accessories via USB ports with the fastest protocols. A business laptop often also has a Thunderbolt port. This port transfers data twice as fast as USB-C, which means you can transfer files in a matter of seconds. You can also use this port to connect a monitor and charge your phone during work. A good solution if your other ports are in use or if you don't have a socket near.

What's extendable warranty?

What's extendable warranty?

With business laptops, the warranty can often be extended with a so-called care pack. Is your laptop broken and do you have an onsite warranty? In that case, a technician will come by your office or at home the next working day. He takes care of the repair right away or offers a replacement model. That way, you'll never be stuck without a laptop for long.

Which data protection do business laptops offer?

TPM chip you find in a business laptop

TPM chip

The TPM chip, short for Trusted Platform Module, encrypts the data you store on your hard drive. That's because the chip uses the identity of the user as the starting point. If it differs from the person that wants to open the files, they're locked automatically. And if someone hacks your laptop, the chip makes your files unreadable. Does someone steal your laptop and take out your hard drive? The files remain unreadable.

Set up Windows Hello via your fingerprint sensor

Fingerprint scanner

Your fingerprint is unique, that's why it's the perfect password. Put your finger on the fingerprint sensor and log in safely and quickly. An extra advantage is that you don't have to remember login information. Windows Pro supports up to 10 different fingerprints. This offers a good variation in terms of security and you'll always know who has access. In addition, you can log in to Windows Hello with your fingerprint. We'll explain how to do this in the following advice article.

What are the advantages of the build quality?

HP and Lenovo laptops.

Sturdy and spill-resistant

A business laptop has an extra sturdy casing, so it can take a beating. For example, if it falls from your desk or hits the corner of the table. Laptops for business use also have a spill-resistant keyboard. Thanks to this, a spilled cup of coffee by a clumsy colleague doesn't necessarily lead to a short circuit.

A laptop that was tested according to military standards offers extra protection against extreme conditions

Military-grade testing

If you really don't want to have to worry about your laptop, you should choose one that's tested against military standards. The manufacturer uses extreme tests on these laptops, like with extreme temperatures or falls from great heights. If you choose a laptop that was tested against military standards, you'll have the best protection while you work outdoors or in an industrial environment.

What are the extra benefits of a business laptop?

RAM modules.

Expandable RAM

It's relatively easy to expand the RAM and storage capacity of business laptops. The bottom of the laptop has a hatch, which makes it easy to replace or add RAM. Make sure to check the maximum RAM specifications of your laptop. In the next advice article, we'll explain this step by step.
