Can't you use business laptops for home/college?




Kiran M


Dell's site is divided into home/business. But the business laptops like Latitude can actually be configured well to what I desire (2.4GHc C2D 3MB L2, 4GB RAM, 120GB 7200 rpm, 256 MB Video). Can't I just use that for my college? Why is so strictly classified under business???


Answer
Originally, the Inspirons were the consumer line of laptops that were more mutlimedia and entertainment oriented, and the Latitudes were designed to be business laptops that were more rugged, had networking capabilities, and no frills like special cases. But the lines have overlapped quite a bit. I think the latitudes still tend to be more sturdy built whereas the Inspirons feel "less solid".
And now there's also the XPS line with are suppose to be fully loaded high end systems.

But now, the main differences between the different lines is software options, warranty, and ordering methods. Ordering through the business line requires an account, and especially if it's a large business making lots of orders get special treatment from the salespeople.

Laptop for college - business?

This fall, I'll be goin to NIU and majoring in business. My recently got a Dell mini 9 and I'm wondering if that would be ok? If not, what would be the best?


Answer
The Dell Mini 9 is ok if all your going to be doing is surfing the web and altering a few docs here and there but if you're majoring in business I would guess you're going to be spending alot of time working on various types of docs and spreadsheets so I would go for something a little bit more substantial.

The Dell 15" Studio or the Inspiron should be fine for your requirements, bear in mind you will need to factor in Microsoft Office software but you should be able to get a student discount on this if you speak to your university.
