How to choose a business laptop

Write the job first. Front desk, finance, design and field staff do not need the same machine. Note processor class, memory, storage, screen size, keyboard language and whether the laptop must be serviced in Dar es Salaam or Arusha.

Ask for a quotation that names the exact model and warranty. A brochure name such as "Core i7 laptop" is not enough for a tender, because two Core i7 machines can differ in generation and memory. If you need several units, send the quantity so the quote covers the same SKU.
