   For business you DEFO want a macintosh!

   The new 17″ models have 8 hours battery and are built for business and entertainment, but they are on the pricey side.

   Apart from that they are VERY powerful machines they are GREAT for gaming too!

   Hope this helps!

   EDIT reread it i had made some errors in my word selection:)
   The one on the far right column here is a good deal But you may want to add more hard drive capacity to it but this is optional. The solid state hard drive it has is state of the art right now because it have no movable parts which makes it more dependable and faster too. I think that will get the job done unless you want to play the latest games which would require a better video card.If not then you won’t need to upgrade in several years.Here is the link(I am referring to the one on the far right column).:

   It is better to go for the faster processor than bigger hard drive because you can easily upgrade the hard drive later on.
   Do not get a Macintosh. They are overpriced and harder to upgrade. There is not nearly as much software compared to a PC.

   You can’t go wrong and I personally recommend Dell! There are hidden long-run costs that one does not initially see when you purchase a Notebook PC other than Dell, HP or IBM and later encounter difficulties or attempt buying replacement parts like a battery, or say a keyboard etc.

   Also if you’re buying for college then I do NOT recommend a Notebook PC bigger than 15.4″ bec we have 3 DELLs incl a larger 17″ Notebook PC and the larger ones are nice but much too heavy to lug around campus as well as too big for lecture hall desks in college…

   I mentioned we own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and 2 Dell Desktops and why I recommend DELL, HP or IBM for those living in the United States is that those 3 particular PC Notebook manufacturers literally supply all the business Notebook PCs to the major corporations and Government so replacement parts are readily available esp on EBAY at even a more reasonable price than the manufacturer website. Thus in the long run, being able to get the exact replacement part extends the life on your investment.

   FYI my 1st Notebook PC was Gateway bec I couldn’t afford Dell at the time and what a mistake is was when I needed to purchase a new Notebook battery < = costly bec not readily available like Dells... and FYI I also ran into a similar problem when attempting to upgrade the memory.

   Note if you are looking for DELL bargains, then visit their DELL OUTLET site...

   Hope the Above Info Helps!
