Small business laptops were the topic for our recent Best Small Business Laptops 2016 post. We were able to get both of these laptops (the Dell XPS 15 and the HP Spectre x360) into the hands of more than 50 small business owners.
Both of these laptops are extremely affordable and provide a great combination of speed, security, and value. The Dell XPS 15 starts at $899.99 with a 64GB SSD and 2TB hard drive, and the HP Spectre x360 can be had for $1199.99 with 64GB of storage and a 256GB SSD. Both laptops are great for any small business that needs more than the basics, including a small team of six people.
Both of these laptops are great for small business owners who want more than a basic computer. The Dell XPS 15 is a great laptop if you want a fast machine with plenty of storage. If you want more flexibility, however, there are two other great options: the HP Spectre x360 with the 256GB SSD and the 512GB SSD and the 256GB SSD and 128GB HDD. You can also get the Dell XPS 15 with the 8GB of RAM.
The Dell XPS 15 starts at $899, and the HP Spectre x360 with the 512GB SSD starts at $999. Both are great laptops for small businesses that are looking to add a few extra features. The Dell XPS 15 comes with a 128GB SSD, so you can have a large amount of storage to store your precious files.
The Dell XPS 15 has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 730M graphics card. The HP Spectre x360 with the 512GB SSD comes with a GeForce GTX 760M GPU. Both are capable of supporting the latest games and graphics cards, so you’re good to go if you’re looking to run some high-end games or stream high-quality video.
Both laptops are great if youre looking to have a small business laptop that doesn’t feel like its about to break. The Dell XPS 15 is a great machine for home and small business users who dont mind a bit of weight and the low-end of the Dell XPS line. The HP Spectre x360 with the 512GB SSD is a great machine if youre looking for something that can carry more storage than its about to break.
I think its safe to say that both of the laptops above can be used for some of the same uses. These are both great machines for gamers, but for those who want something that is a tad bit lighter and a tad bit more portable, the Dell XPS 15 and HP Spectre x360 are pretty nice machines to use.
I found that these laptops are a bit too light for me to wear a backpack on them, but I think that might be a good thing. If a laptop is too light to carry around when you’re not using it, then you’re not as likely to use that laptop. I would be less likely to want to lug around a laptop if I had to lug around a backpack.
For gamers and those who use their computer for work, the laptop market has traditionally been dominated by Apple and Microsoft. Those two companies have been the only ones to consistently make the best laptops for gaming. But that hasn’t stopped other companies from entering the market in recent years, including Amazon, who recently launched their own laptop lineup. But it’s still a bit of a niche market for big companies like Dell, HP, and Lenovo to enter.
Amazon is trying to change that by creating a small laptop line that looks like a MacBook Air, but it wont be cheap. I think I’d go with the Dell XPS 13 to get the most bang for your buck.
