We are very close to a hardware refresh in my office (assuming it happens). I'm curious, what are you guys using? what have your users liked? Anyone using any ultrabooks? How's the battery life?
Currently we use HP exclusively. Our old retiring units are HP (re branded Compaq) 530 and 550, Probook 6710b and the Elite 2710p/2760p (convertible). All of these unit are 5+ years old, and have held up surprisingly well over the past 5 years.
But it's time for a change. With XP being retired fully by Microsoft we need to move to Windows 7 or 8, and considering cost, we might as well look at new units.
My requirements are:
1) mobile but not super long battery life (except for the Drs). My users can run from plug to plug like they have been for the past 5 years.
2)14" display minimum, but 15 really is the desire.
3) 1600 x 900 or higher required.
If you have some newer units in house I'd love the chance to see what you have.
