Contributed by Tim Brugger, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru

For those of us who use computers at work, anything we can find that makes it easier, faster or more convenient is worth investigating. After all, work is about productivity; at least until Happy Hour rolls around.

But it can be difficult, particularly with how fast new and improved technologies are introduced, to stay on top of the latest and greatest options out there.

To help make productive use of your time, here are some of the best business computer solutions.

The Mac

Move over PC, Macs are all about business

There was a time, not too long ago, that Mac’s in the workplace were for the creative types; the graphic artists and such. Now Mac has gone mainstream, and more and more companies are using the platform to manage all facets of their business. In addition to snazzy presentations, the iWork solution found at MacConnection has a full suite of documents and spreadsheets. Imagine, the folks in the finance department rockin’ a Mac; wow.

Computer Bag

Take a load off

For the weary road warrior tired of sloughing her laptop over her permanently indented shoulder (that strap is murder!), take a peek at the selection of roller computer bag options at Kolo Bags. Several of them, like this Lucas Bag, double as a backpack too. So, cram as much as you can into this little beauty, and let the wheels take the pounding.

3D Capabilities

Add a dimension

If your business entails modeling of any sort; architecture, engineering or construction, you’re going to love this. The Academic Superstore has the coolest gadget to improve results and increase efficiencies; the 3D Connexion SpaceNavigator for Notebooks. This little wonder allows you to use both hands simultaneously, rotating and “grabbing” models on your computer to shift them any which way you like. Sort of like TRON, but without the bad guy.

GPS

Track your fleet

For any business that has a mobile work force; express delivery services, long-haul truckers, or even bike messengers, this Best of Business Computer Solutions is right up your alley. The GPS RTV5 from Live View GPS provides instant access to your drivers’ locations, live via the internet. You’ll know where your drivers are at all times and better yet, they’ll know you know.
