Recommendation for all-in-one-pcs and laptops for public use

(1/3) > >>

tyrionlannister:
I'm going to have to draft specifications for a public tender for all-in-one-pcs and laptops. The requirements would be  typical for office work for the all-in-one-pcs, and a small screen, like 14' or 15 and good battery life for the laptops. The budget constraints would be $1000 for both the PCs and the laptop per unit.

An alternative for the all-in-one-pcs could be a small factor PC with a minimal desk footprint. For the desktop, it would need to include moniror, mouse, keyboard and have low noise emission.

I'd like to have suggestions for good quality and reliable units as the most important aspect.

Thanks!

At work I'm using an HP EliteBook 8440p. Pretty damn good. I have no idea how much they spent on it. I also never use the battery (it's kept out of the laptop at all times), but EliteBooks are supposed to have battery lives nearing 10 hours (there's one model that HP claimed went over 10 hours).

^^Checked the EliteBook out, gotta say it's pretty cool and it can serve easily as an all-in-one pc

The Elitebook and Envy series are the only ones I would ever touch from HP. Their lower end laptops are shitty as hell. (I rank them in the same area as Dell)

The Elitebook seriously does not seem like an HP at all.

Sony, Toshiba are hit or miss.


Lenovo are pretty good, but some hate the style.

Asus and Acer aren't bad choices either.


You have to do your research though. All brands have some laptops that are hit or miss.

I've owned an HP 6830s for 2.5 years. It's pretty damn solid.

ASUS makes some of the best stuff, but their English isn't always excellent (Taiwan company IIRC). Acer's stuff is okay (and comparatively cheap) but they have a reputation of breaking down sooner than most other brands.

Sony's stuff tends to be overpriced but their quality is excellent. Toshiba tends to be pretty good IMO, but I haven't seen enough of their stuff.

Never really liked Lenovo/IBM. Not sure why.
