Why the cheapest laptop is rarely the cheapest

The price on the quote is only part of what a device costs you. Setup time, support calls, repairs, downtime and safe disposal all add up. That full figure is the total cost of ownership. We help you choose models that fit how your team works, and keep the fleet consistent so it’s easier and cheaper to support.

Every stage of the device lifecycle

1. PLAN & SOURCE

Procurement

We recommend specs by role, compare options and source laptops, desktops, phones and accessories for your business.

2. SET UP

Deployment

Devices arrive with accounts, apps, security settings and device management in place, so new staff can start work on day one.

3. LOOK AFTER

Maintenance & repair

Updates, health checks and repairs keep devices running. An asset register shows who has what.

4. RETIRE

Wipe & dispose

When a device reaches end of life, its data is securely erased before it is reused, resold or recycled.

Buy, lease or refurbished?

Buying outright suits companies that keep devices for four years or more. Leasing or device-as-a-service spreads the cost and makes refresh cycles predictable. Good refurbished business laptops can stretch a budget for roles with light workloads. We’ll explain the trade-offs for your situation. There’s no single right answer.

Questions businesses ask

Which laptop should we buy for our staff?

It depends on the role. Office and admin staff, designers, engineers and people who travel need different things. We match processor, memory, storage, weight and warranty to the job, and keep the number of models small so support stays simple.

What warranty should business laptops have?

For laptops your staff can’t work without, an onsite next-business-day warranty is usually worth the extra cost. Consumer carry-in warranties can leave staff without a laptop for days or weeks.

Can you look after the devices after we buy them?

Yes. Many businesses combine procurement with a managed IT plan, so one team handles setup, support, repairs and retirement.
