Buyer's Guides

To help you choose which laptop is right for you, two buyer's guides are available. The Desktop Technical Buyer's Guide is targeted to technical users (i.e. IT Professionals, Power Users) who are interested in the detailed technical specifications. It consists of a handy grid of the most requested specifications for a quick comparison.

For non-technical users, the Desktop End Users Buyer's Guide is structured with a handy decision matrix, as well as usage scenarios, to help users decide which model will best fit their needs.
