What are Home (consumer) and Business (professional) series laptops ?

Consumer and business laptops are different. They look like same but the features and cost are different. The comparison below:

Price:

Consumer laptops are inexpensive and plentiful, but a business class laptops are costlier due to high features that generally aren't found in notebooks meant for consumers. 

Features:

Business laptops come with several features and especially with security features such as: finger sensor reader, 3G modem for cellular broadband. This feature keeps a business worker online no matter where she is on the road. 

Durability:

Business laptops are built with more metal to secure the laptop from crash during travel.

Hard drive:

Solid state hard drives don't have the moving components found in regular spinning drives as hard drive disk and that's why these laptops does not affected by accidental drops.

Style:

Many consumer laptops are available with bright colors, light up keyboards and eye catching designs while Business laptops comes with the fashion statements and keep a low profile. 

Service plan:

Business laptops also comes with extended service plan than the consumer laptop.

Pre-loaded Software:

  1. Consumer laptops are comes with several pre-loaded extraneous software. Business laptops offer systems that include desired software like the business editions of popular operating systems and office productivity packages without unwanted extras like game demos and trial offers.

Difference between Notebook, Laptop, and Ultrabook

 Hey, Are you looking for a new laptop but can't distinguish the different types of laptops and their names ?. And what is the actual difference between a laptop, notebook and ultrabook? You will find out in this blog.

What is a laptop?

A laptop is actually a portable computer with  a built-in screen and keyboard. Initially, the idea was to use a laptop on your lap, hence the name laptop. The first laptops were behemoths, but these days they're getting thinner and lighter.

What is ultra book

Ultrabook is a name that comes from Intel. A notebook is only an Ultrabook if it is no more than 1.5 cm thick, has an Intel processor and an SSD drive. Intel used the term as a quality term for premium laptops. Since many modern laptops meet Intel's modern laptops meet Intel's requirements, ultrabooks are no longer just a premium segment. Are you looking for a premium laptop? Then check whether it has the Intel EVO label.

Processors, graphics chips and storage space

  • Processors : All Ultrabooks share the same series of processors: Intel's "ULV" series ("Ultra-Low-Voltage") was designed for this device category and has a particularly low power consumption.
  • At the same time, they are not as powerful as conventional processors in notebooks. These usually have higher clock rates or more processor cores (e.g. quad-core instead of dual-core).
  • Graphics : Most regular notebooks rely on a dedicated graphics card, eg from the GeForce series from NVIDIA or AMD Radeon models.
  • With a few exceptions (e.g. Dell XPS 14 or Asus Zenbook UX433FN ), "Ultrabooks" do not have a real graphics card installed, here graphics tasks are performed by a so-called on-board graphics chip.
  • This is integrated into the processor, uses less space and power, but is also much less powerful than a regular graphics card. Demanding games and graphics applications quickly push these chips to their limits.
  • Storage : To promote speed and portability, most Ultrabooks rely on SSD hard drives. These compact flash memories are up to three times faster than conventional hard drives.
  • Intel also stipulates that ultrabooks must wake up from standby in two seconds. At the same time, they don't offer that much storage space (only 128 to 512GB).
  • Accordingly, large standard hard drives with a lot of storage space are installed in larger notebooks, which are more used as tower PC replacements.
  • Battery : Ultrabooks are designed as mobile work devices, so the battery life must be correspondingly long. The frugal processor and the SSD hard drive help here.
  • Top models manage a good 8 hours of battery operation, the average for ultrabooks is about 4 hours, which is still significantly longer than with conventional notebooks. 
  • Ultrabooks are good replacements for tablets with high GB space and processor and are easy to travel. However, convertible are also options but the costs are very high. 
  • Convertibles like the HP Specter and HP Envy shine with excellent equipment. The highlight of convertibles: If you want to use the notebook like a tablet, simply fold the keyboard back 360 degrees.
  • If you want to be particularly flexible, you can use a 2-in-1 device. Here you don't fold away the keyboard when you don't need it. You just peel them off and you have a real tablet.
  • The market leader in the field of 2-in-1 devices is certainly Microsoft with its Microsoft Surface Pro .
