A client of ours was interested in an ultra-portable device that could run all of his business applications but be versatile enough for client demos or just browsing on the couch.
He likes a lot of screen real estate at his desk and currently runs both 27” and 22” displays connected to his laptop. We thought we could do better…Continue reading

Rob has been prolonging the life of his HP laptop for many years with fresh operating system installs and upgrading to faster solid state drives for storage – the latest being a 180GB Intel 335 Series SSD.
But after almost six years of daily use, the time had come to upgrade. The only question was which way to go?
It had to be fast and durable – the last HP laptop was turned on and off, opened and shut up to ten times a day over six years so there are big shoes to fill!
Battery life has improved so much in the last few years, working all day without a recharge is now an option.
Thin and light would also be nice as it is the main “tool of trade”, carried around everywhere to see clients for work including farms, wineries, medical practices and general offices around the Clare Valley.
The HP SpectreXT Ultrabook was the final choice with Intel i7 processor and 256GB SSD but there are also models with Intel i5 processor and 128GB SSD.
NAR Design work with a lot of different businesses and a common thread between clients these days is mobility. Users want the power of their laptop on the road, but the convenience of a large screen and wireless keyboard and mouse in the office – they want a seamless desktop experience.
HP now have the HP Display and Notebook Stand that allows you to quickly and easily plug your laptop into a full size monitor, saving space and clutter in your office and also take advantage of two screens – your notebook screen and an additional screen up to 24″.
This productivity device normally retails for $299 – read on for the promotional offer.

With stylish affordability, the HP ProBook 4520s range has the features and quality for your business.Continue reading
