MyBroadband’s corporate IT brand survey revealed that Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Apple are the most trusted laptop brands among South African business decision-makers.
The survey asked South African business IT decision-makers about their preferences regarding business IT solutions.
The survey was completed by 1,518 respondents, the majority of whom were executives and managers deciding on which IT products their companies buy.
The results were filtered to only include respondents who decide which ICT products and services their company uses.
The results revealed that laptops remain critical for businesses despite the rise of smartphones and tablets. Their continued relevance stems from several key advantages.
Laptops offer unparalleled versatility. Their larger screens, powerful processors, and physical keyboards enable efficient work across diverse tasks, from data analysis to video editing.
Unlike other mobile devices, they seamlessly integrate with essential business software designed for traditional desktop operating systems.
Security is another crucial factor. Laptops often boast robust features like data encryption and dedicated security software vital for businesses handling sensitive information.
Also, laptops empower multitasking, allowing professionals to juggle various tasks and deadlines easily.
Laptops also offer the unique advantage of offline access. They can function independently, ensuring uninterrupted work even in areas with limited or no internet connection.
Laptops’ portability, power, and versatility solidify their place as a vital asset for businesses, ensuring their continued presence in the corporate landscape.
