Laptops are a good option especially for a business. I use a laptop for work and it means I have a portable workstation so I am not restricted to the office if I need work doing! I can do it when out on the road, when at home or in the office. And for a good laptop I think you could pick one up for what you will need it for, for about $700 maybe? Which is cheap for a laptop IMO.

Also given you dont pay VAT on a business expense makes it 17.5% cheaper anyway.... Unless you don't get tax advantages for business purchases?
