Ready, steady, click! For the latest hardware
When you are looking to kit out your office with new tech, you will probably have the ‘desktop computer versus laptop’ debate with a colleague, or at least ponder which operation system and hardware best suits the needs of your team. It can be pretty daunting trying to choose the right computing solutions for your business, especially as you will expect to use the equipment for at least a few years. Officeology have a team of tech wizards who are on hand to evaluate your needs, and can let you know which options will work for you now, and in the future.
Life at a start-up is often fast-paced, with an ever-growing team. It is undeniable that this stage is an exciting time for any business, but it comes with a different set of challenges which also extends into IT. Your computers need to keep up with everything else that is going on, particularly because you may move offices more often than other companies. As a start-up, you may also use coworking spaces, or let staff work remotely. Whichever route you choose for your start-up, we can assist you with finding the best computing solutions for your unique working styles.
For SMEs with more people across different teams, you may find that you need multiple options to meet the needs across the business. Employees who travel for work may suit lightweight business laptops, but those who are desk-based may prefer a desktop computer in the office. There is also the consideration of the types of work that employees undertake within the SME. Creative types might want pixel perfect large monitors, and data buffs may prefer a dual screen set up for number crunching and trend analysis.
For the largest organisations, IT infrastructure is something that needs to be easy enough to manage despite having more people and desks to accommodate. Scalability is important for you, as you may not want to be running multiple different systems and hardware. We can give you recommendations to make life simpler for your IT department, whether they are based within your organisation or you outsource it to an external supplier.
Business hardware and IT equipment can be costly – especially for small businesses. This is why we offer plenty of leasing packages and options to help your cash flow and give you the opportunity to utilise top-of-the-range equipment to help your business grow and succeed. Leased equipment can also be 100% tax deductible against profits.
Some equipment that can be leased include:

When it comes to buying a business laptop there are many factors to take into consideration and the laptop needed will depend on who will be using it. A graphic designer will likely need a larger screen and plenty of storage with HDD and SSD and a powerful graphics card. Whereas someone in admin or a researcher will need lightning-fast performance, high security and something comfortable to use for long periods of time and easy to travel with.
Generally speaking, all business laptops should have a long battery life, decent memory and at least Intel Core i3 or i5 CPUs, as they are the most reliable and can handle multitasking. Read our guide on the best business laptops to explore the top options.
There are many pros and cons for both desktop computers and laptops for your business and we’d recommend getting a mixture of both so everyone has the best of both worlds if needed. Desktops are ideal for larger jobs that may require a more powerful performance or a bigger screen. They also often last longer, are easier to repair and less susceptible to damage in the first place.
On the other hand, laptops are perfect for employees that travel for work such as sales teams going to a lot of client meetings out of the office or for those who need, and prefer, more mobility in their day-to-day work.
As, arguably, the most important tool for any business, choosing the right laptop as a startup or a small company can be a daunting task. The three main points to consider are budget, performance and long term needs. When you’re investing a lot into a business laptop, you want to ensure that it can stand the test of time and meet your needs for years to come.
Apple Macbooks are often a popular choice as they’re reliable, easy and comfortable to use, can handle plenty of functions, are relatively affordable and have a strong support team behind them too. A Lenovo ThinkPad is also a highly trusted business laptop that offers quick performance and an innovative, portable design, as well as the Microsoft Surface Pros. If you’re unsure on which laptop would be best for your specific business needs, contact our team who will strive to offer you the best possible solutions.
