you want business capability, you have both the HP EliteBook 8460p and the Dell Latitude E6430 ATG to choose from. Both offer first-class performance with a dash of rugged construction thrown in for those whose work takes them out of the office. The Latitude E6430 ATG holds the Editors' Choice crown, but the EliteBook 8460p offers similar capabilities and less intense ruggedization for half the price.

But while HP has made a strong play in the ultrabook category, Dell has continued to churn out excellent desktop replacements, like the Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition (7520) and the Dell XPS 15 (Summer 2012).No matter what you're looking for in a laptop, HP and Dell have divided up the pie rather well, and between the two, there's something for almost everyone.

An IP PBX can do everything a traditional small business PBX can do and more. It performs the switching and connecting of Voice over IP as well as landline calls.

A conventional PBX requires two networks, one for data and another for voice. An IP PBX system runs on an IP data network, which saves costs and minimizes network management.

You can use IP phones, softphones (which don't require any phone hardware beyond a computer and a microphone headset), and landline phones on an IP PBX phone system.
