Of course, workstations do have their disadvantages, the most obvious being their size and lack of portability. Not having batteries, they’re certainly not ideal for a travelling workforce. Whilst laptop batteries used to have notoriously poor performance and longevity, they’re now much improved and give on-the-road teams the ability to work from anywhere, reliably.
And, let’s be honest, workstations aren’t pretty! They tend to be bulky and utilitarian, more suited to being tucked away under a desk than displayed on top of it.
As with any purchase, whether it’s for yourself or you’re investing in hardware for an entire department, it comes down to what’s really needed.
If your teams are (or are going to be) travelling between multiple workplaces, requiring flexibility and portability, laptops are the obvious choice. You also need to account for the additional expense of monitors and peripherals.
However, if your company is one of the growing number moving to entirely remote working, consider this. Opting for workstations could be the more powerful, more affordable, more comfortable and overall more future-ready choice.
