Which laptop does your employee need?

Let’s keep it real—most of the time, your team doesn’t need the latest laptop on the market. For your admin, accounts, or sales folks who are mostly working with Excel and hopping on Google Meet, a basic Windows 10 laptop will do just fine.

But if you’ve got a data wizard who’s constantly crunching numbers and juggling heaps of data, consider giving their laptop a little boost. Just add 16GB of RAM to one of our entry-level models, and they’ll be all set without costing you a fortune.

Got a developer on your team? They usually need a laptop that’s top-notch in security and can handle the latest software. For them, a Windows 11 laptop is often a must. We recommend checking out the Dell Latitude 3490—it’s an 8th Gen model with Windows 11, and you can tweak the RAM and SSD to fit their needs.

If you’re dealing with an iOS developer using Xcode, they’ll need the newest MacOS, which is MacOS Sonoma. For that, the Macbook Pro 8th gen with a 16-inch screen or the Macbook Pro M2 will do the trick, giving them the power and screen space they need to work their magic.

Looking for a laptop for your designer or creative superstar? Go with a MacBook—nothing beats the vibrant RGB display for design work. The M series MacBooks are perfect because they pack a powerful processor that handles design and animation software with ease. The MacBook Air with the M1 chip is a lightweight champ for those on the go.

If most of your design software just needs MacOS Sonoma, then the MacBook Pro 8th Gen with a 16-inch screen is your best bet for top-notch performance. Not sure if your software will work? Shoot us a message and we’ll sort it out for you!

And if your designer isn’t diving into high-spec software, the starting-range Macbook Pro 4th gen with a 16-inch screen is a great option that still delivers fantastic visuals.
