Planning a laptop refresh
Corporate fleets need predictable specs, manageability and warranty — not consumer deals. Standardise on business lines such as Dell Latitude, HP EliteBook/ProBook and Lenovo ThinkPad for easier support and repeat ordering.
Recommended baseline specs (2026)
- CPU — Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen 5/7 (match workload)
- RAM — 16GB minimum for knowledge workers; 32GB for power users
- Storage — 512GB NVMe minimum; consider BitLocker-ready devices
- Warranty — 3-year next-business-day where budget allows
Bulk procurement
Submit quantities, delivery deadlines and preferred brands via RFQ. Ask about docking stations, carry cases and staged delivery for multi-branch rollouts.
