When it comes to choosing a business laptop some people have iteasy. In larger corporates you get what you are given, and while you might lust after whatever computer the person sitting on next to you on the trainhas, you know that you will have to live with what someone else has chosen for you. If you are in a smaller organisation you may get involved in thedecision making process. If you work for yourself the decision is all yours to make. And if you are a top executive, well, then you might get to make your own decision too. When you are in control of the purse-strings, value for money really matters. So does paying as much as =A32399 for a laptop, even one as thin, well designed and alluring as the Sony VAIO Z, have any kind of appeal at all?
