HP: ProBook & EliteBook
HP has 2 business laptop series: HP ProBook and EliteBook. Both laptops have strong security functions, such as a TPM chip. This chip encrypts your files and makes them unreadable in case of a data leak. They differ the most in terms of processor, build quality, and keyboard. The EliteBook laptops have an extra sturdy aluminum casing and powerful processors. They also have a backlit keyboard, so you can work in the dark. For regular office use, an HP ProBook is powerful enough. But for demanding use like programming, we recommend an HP EliteBook because of the more powerful processors.
Lenovo: ThinkBook and ThinkPad
Just like HP, Lenovo has 2 business series: ThinkBook and ThinkPad. If you're looking for a starter model business laptop, choose the Lenovo ThinkBook. With up to 16GB of RAM and processors up to i7 or Ryzen 7, you can smoothly run multiple programs at the same time. Want to run more demanding programs, such as AutoCAD? Go for the Lenovo ThinkPad. This series focuses more on professional use, thanks to expansion options up to 96GB of RAM. That way, it's more future-proof for new programs and updates.
MSI: Creator: Modern, Prestige, Summit
For designers, there's the MSI Creator series. These laptops have a separate video card to process graphic designs faster. In addition, you can enjoy a sharp image thanks to the QHD screen. This also lets you edit your creations precisely. The MSI Modern series is suitable for standard office use. For the best performance, choose an MSI Prestige laptop. Thanks to the extra sturdy casing, most powerful processors, and extra RAM, you can easily run the most demanding tasks. Want the extra privacy functions, but don't need the most powerful components? Choose the MSI Summit.
Acer and Asus: Acer TravelMate and Asus ExpertBook
Acer and ASUS both have 1 business series. The Acer TravelMate is mostly suitable for business users who often work on the go. Thanks to the longer battery life of up to 10 hours, you can easily work in places without a socket. The ASUS ExpertBook combines a light weight with high performance. So you can easily take this laptop with you on the go, without it feeling heavy. Just like to other business laptop series, these laptops also have extra privacy functions. For example, a TPM 2.0 chip, a privacy switch, and all of the advantages of Windows Pro.
