Notebook Retail vs Business GradeThe Truth Retail Grade - for use at home with occasional mobile use - usually poor battery life and low cost design with minimal strength and durability. Business Grade - built to handle the rigours of mobile use as used by students and professionals usually excellent battery life with industrial tested and toughened design. Studies have shown that a Retail Grade notebook used in a Business Grade environment can have 50% to 100% greater failure rate per year. Portacom, Perth's largest Notebook Computer specialists, now has Business Grade Notebooks available from $999. Business Grade - Superior by design.

Notebook Computers need regular servicing. Along with the need to eradicate Viruses and Spyware, Notebooks have moving parts such as screen hinges, HDD, optical drives, keyboard and heat sink fan that need periodic cleaning. When a Notebook cooling fan collects too much dust, it can slow down which increases the heat which in turn can slow down your notebook's performance. Portacom recommends a minimum of a yearly fan clean to keep your notebook performing in top condition.

Notebook Batteries - The Truth

All rechargeable batteries have a limited life span and need regular replacement. Most retail notebooks batteries have around 300 charge/discharge cycles before they need replacement, whereas Business Grade has up to 900. When your Notebook battery no longer holds a charge, its time to purchase a new battery.

There are many screen sizes as well as many screen resolutions to chose from. The higher the resolution, the more you can see on screen but the reduced pixel size can make the image size smaller. Many Retail Grade Notebooks use glossy screen to enhance contrast which unfortunately increases the screens reflectivity making them difficult to use in many situations. Most Business Grade Notebooks use Matt screens that have little to no reflectivity and are highly recommended.

Notebook Performance - The Truth

A Notebook Computer is only as fast as the combination of the speeds of the following 4 components; Processor (CPU), Graphics (GPU), RAM and Hard Disk speed. The slowest Intel Processor popularly used is the Single Core ATOM followed by the Celeron/Pentium with the highest performance being the Dual Core i3, i5 and i7. Graphics Processors are provided by Intel, ATi and nVIDIA. The amount of video memory is not a good indicator of performance rather than the speed of the GPU. 4 to 8 GB RAM is recommended along with a 5400rpm or preferably 7200rpm Hard Disk Drive. If budget permits, an SSD drives provides up to 10x the performance of a Hard Disk Drive and is HIGHLY recommended.

Research has shown Retail notebooks used in a Business Grade environments can have failure rates 50% to 100% higher than Business Grade Notebooks.

Don’t be mislead by mass advertising of Retail Notebooks, Portacom has Business Grade Notebooks available today from $999, at our West Perth Showroom and Service Centre

BUYING A Notebook or Tablet?

READ THIS FIRST !

BUYER BEWARE: There are 2 different Portable Computer designs for 2 different uses…. Home (Retail) Grade and Business(Commercial) Grade Home Grade portables are designed to provide the most power for the lowest price whereas Business Grade focuses on power combined with strength and reliability, reducing ongoing costs, limiting repair downtime and providing better data protection and security. Commercial Grade portables are built stronger, minimise heat/dust production, have enhanced security/interface options and usually have much longer battery replacement life. Business Grade is highly recommended for Schools, Universities and Businesses. Retail Grade portables are designed for occasional mobility, Commercial Grade are for regular portability with a focus on reducing need for repair. Commercial (Business) Grade portables have a variety of design improvements over Retail Grade such as HDD drop protection, water resistant keyboards, extended temperature range, toughened hinges, crack resistance, impact resistance, scratch resistance, Security hardware and software, dust protection along with advanced interfaces such as Smartcard, Mil Spec, 3/4G, Bluetooth, Replicator/Docking support and replaceable drive bays. Thus if you are a student or mobile professional, Commercial grade is the best option as you are more assured of long life with less issues. A recent study showed Home Grade notebooks used in a Business Grade environment can have failure rates 50% to 100% higher than Business Grade Notebooks per year. If you ever use a portable outside the Home, Business Grade is the best long term recommendation. Notebook vs Tablet: Touch screen based Tablet computers come in many shapes and sizes along with different performance characteristics. Windows 10 allows a Tablet computer to provide an ease of use touch screen interface combined with the multitasking, multi-window compatibility, power and security of the regular Windows desktop. A Notebook/Laptop computer has the keyboard attached to the screen and is more sturdy. Some clever designs have the keyboard able to rotate around the screen, turning it into a tablet computer. Intel Core i3/i5/i7 and Core M series CPU: A clever, power conserving design that runs at slower clock speeds whilst providing high speed and low heat. The best CPU for portable use. The dual core processors actually have 2 CPU cores that can make up to an 80% multitasking improvement. The Core i series is fastest and the best choice for the future. The Core i7 quad series has 4 CPU cores that provide high multitasking speed and is highly recommended for video editing purposes but has reduced battery life. The Core M design is a VERY low powered CPU with similar performance to a slow Core i3/i5/i7 with no fan cooling requirements – great for performance tablets. Intel Mobile Atom/Celeron/Pentium/AMD Fusion: These are among the slowest CPU’s available and are approximately a third of the speed of an Intel Core i3 Processor. Not suitable for much more than basic Word-processing, Email and Website viewing. Which is best ?: The Intel Core i series are a marvel of processor design, combining multiple CPU cores providing excellent multitasking performance and is the best choice for notebook use. The Core i7 CPU with 2 or 4 CPU cores is for even higher performance for certain multithreaded applications such as video authoring. Choose the dual core i3 or the faster i5 for best overall performance and battery life. The Core M design is perfect for a speedy and reliable Tablet computer. The Intel Celeron, Pentium, Atom and AMD Fusion CPU are only recommended for basic computing tasks but are used mainly in low end tablet computers. Avoid these in regular notebooks. TURBO BOOST ? This is a clever way of dynamically speeding up a CPU core when other cores are unused. Only with Intel Core i5 and Core i7. BUYER BEWARE: The clock speed of the microprocessor (CPU) does not necessarily translate to the performance level of the computer system. Poor video design, hard disk, cache design/size, bus and memory sub-systems can reduce overall performance as much as 50%. Do not fall for the concept that the higher the clock speed, the faster the computer. Also note the faster the speed, the shorter the battery life. A new deception is to provide a high speed CPU with a low speed graphics chip and/or hard disk, eliminating any overall speed advantages. Don’t be caught with less than you paid for. Check with a supplier that can do benchmark comparisons. – Now more important than ever! BUYER BEWARE BATTERY LIFE: Many portables provide as little as half the battery life that their manufacturers state. Ask for benchmark tests. HD vs FHD vs UHD vs 4K: Instead of the screen resolution being WSXGA 1366*768, they have been improved to FHD 1920x1080, UHD 2880x1440 and 4K 3840x2160. The higher resolution provides more displayable information than the regular XGA screens. This means more of your spreadsheet, documents and graphics will be displayed on screen. Be aware that the increase in number of pixels results in smaller image size. Make sure your graphics adapter has 512MB discrete video memory or better. 3D graphic accelerators vary in greatly in speed The correct choice of graphics card is critical for 3D modelling work and games – mobile graphic cards cannot be upgraded –choose the fastest graphics accelerator you can afford for future software support and performance but be aware the faster the graphics the lower the battery life. Always see if there are benchmark comparisons as this is a major area of confusion and disappointment. DVD Burner vs Bluray : A DVD drive reads and creates CD and DVD disks. These are available in capacities up to 8.5GB. The new Bluray drives are backward compatible with DVD and can create 50GB disks. These larger capacities are great for backups and high definition movies. Hard disk drive speed :. Most notebook computers use a 5400rpm speed. 7200rpm drives can be 50% faster. SSD drives have no moving parts and are faster, however they much more expensive and compared to a regular hard disk drive but are highly recommended with 10x faster performance. Bluetooth: A radio based interface standard for communicating with devices in close proximity - within 5 meters. Useful for mobile phone connection. Wifi Wireless a/b/g/n AC: A new radio standard for connection computer networks without cables – high speed - superiour to Bluetooth – 300M range The new WiFi AC standard allows for much higher speeds and more users than any of the previous standards – Highly Recommended USB 2/3 & Firewire 1/2 : These are new serial based high speed interfaces to replace the old RS232 serial standard. Firewire and USB 2/3 are particularly suited to video movie capture. These interfaces allow for several devices to be ‘daisy chained’ together. USB 3 is 10x faster than USB 2. WARRANTY: The standard Warranty period is 1 year. Notebooks have higher failure rates than desktops due to their portability and warranty extensions can protect your investment. The higher the warranty period the better, as notebooks can be very expensive to repair. Connection to a Domain: Vista Home, Windows 7 Home, Windows 8 and Windows 10 Home will not work with most domain server networks – only Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Pro, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 Pro and Windows 10 Pro are suitable. Insist on Support: Portable computers contain leading edge technologies. Check that your supplier can provide knowledgeable and experienced advice as there are usually more idiosyncrasies with notebook designs than desktops. TPM, Bluetooth, SpeedStep, USB3.1, Touchscreens, Blu-ray, Wifi a/b/g/n/ac, Cardbus, ePCI, eSATA, power management, HDMi, Displayport, Firewire, 3D accelerators, CPU versions, SSD upgrades, docking station and LCD screens require specialized knowledge and support. Suppliers that locally specialize in notebook computer sales, service and support are the best recommendation, as this can speed up repairs and support considerably as portables DO fail due to their regular mobility. …. And remember, if you don’t recognize the notebook brand – BEWARE of reliability and long term parts availability issues Support and service is vital to the successful long term operation of a portable computer – never purchase a portable based on price alone
