I usually deal with the assistance in setting up and ordering laptops or tablets for executives or consultants that travel throughout the world. I know the inner design and what is needed, based on the area that you are travelling. So depending on what you need I can assist. Also it would help if you tell me what type of work the staff will be doing, as you would need to look at screensize if working on spreadsheets, or the ability to use external monitors, or two external monitors when working from an office as that can assist you as well. I would usually recommend Dell monitors for that as they are more able to swivel and tilt compared to junky samsungs, and you can get some bargains.
Also will the machines be used for cad work, because then a standard onboard graphics wont work, and you would need a more workstation based setup.
So more grunt, or more mobile. Touch screens is really a gimmick, unless you want to use an ipad for presentations, I would maybe avoid it. But if you do, its not that complex. Then some microsoft software specific can work for you.
So give me an idea of what you are looking for and I will gladly help.
For info sake, I wont bother with Acer though. Their batteries always die after a year. Nice gimmicky but more headache in the end.
And you can upgrade it easy enough, without much hassles, I will also guide you how, if you want to add more ram later, or change to solid state, but I would suggest solid state rather. also what software you need.
