As the third largest laptop manufacturer in the world, Dell commands
15 percent market share. Many business owners choose Dell over other
brands because of the company's comprehensive warranties,
business-focused designs and accessible entry-level price points. When
we set out to recommend our favorite Dell laptops to our business
readers, we wanted to cover as many bases as possible. We know that
every business is different, so we segmented our selection to appeal to
casual emailers, multitasking professionals, hardcore power users and
everyone in between.

The Dell XPS 13 has long been a favorite of business users, and the
2018 version more than earns its title as Best Dell Laptop Overall. One
of the slimmest and most attractive Dell's ever released, this highly
customizable laptop starts at a reasonable $999.99 and comes with a
respectable Intel Core i5 CPU. Like other Dells, this model increases in
price as upgraded specs are added. The excellent battery life we
observed (12 hours and 37 minutes) was based on a non-touchscreen model,
but even the touchscreen version offers users a respectable battery
life of 8 hours and 53 minutes.
While buying an award-winning business laptop for around a grand
seems like the perfect deal, most business users will want to upgrade at
least a few specs. Bumping up the RAM from 4GB to 8GB (additional
$100), opting for Windows 10 Pro instead of Home (additional $60) and
nabbing Microsoft Office Pro (additional $170) may increase the price,
but it also makes this machine infinitely more suitable for serious
business users.
