Hardware
While the headlines may be generated by the rise of artificial intelligence and security threats, we love hardware here at Techfinitive.com. We will bring you video from product launches, with commentary direct from the experts’ mouths. Plus, we will keep you up to date with the latest product releases.
That means everything from phones to graphics workstations, from tablets to desktop PCs. Including the weird and wonderful new product types (that may or may not ever see the light of day). Our emphasis is always on embracing tools that get things done; tools that ensure employees are both productive and happy. And, crucially, secure.
We’re also here to make sense of the incredible range of products to choose from. Take laptops. Should Chromebooks be part of your line-up? How do you choose between the vast number of machines on offer from the likes of Dell, HP and Lenovo?
With budgets always the limiting factor, we provide advice on where to spend your money – as well as sharing the real-world experience of an IT manager who has to fend off people wanting more expensive machines.
We also cover the crucial topic of sustainability. Every piece of new hardware we buy has an impact on the environment, so make sure you keep reading TechFinitive.com for general advice but also ratings on the big tech companies.
To avoid missing the latest news, keep up to date by signing up to our newsletter, following us on Twitter or joining our growing community on LinkedIn. And our inbox is always open at [email protected].
