Friends don't let bosses purchase Dell computers.

Considering that HP is the other choice that most businesses consider, I'd take the Dell 100% of the time. HP's laptops are complete and utter trash.

HP’s laptops are complete and utter trash

a) yes b) perhaps that also describes their management

perhaps that also describes their ~~management~~ everything

Lenovo is at the top of the enterprise devices game right now. I always say they operate in cycles and usually each brand trades every 2 years who is at number one.

I still will always shit on HP. And HPE Aruba switches are absolutely trash.

What about for personal use? I’m in the market for a relatively high end machine around $2k, but build quality is pretty high up on my priorities.

When I got hired at my job where I could write and dictate policy, the first thing I did was write up a new IT Purchasing Policy with a "Banned Manufacturers" section right up top with HP right at #1 and Dell at #2

What’s the issue with Dell? Everyone I know at work with Dell laptops likes them. I’ve used XPS 15 and 13 in the past and they’ve been generally fine. Battery life sucked but I haven’t ever seen an x86 laptop with what I would consider good battery life.

What did you prefer? Lenovo?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lately, Lenovo. It was Asus and Lenovo, but lately they've been shitting the bed IMO. And MSI is about to join HP and Dell if I have to replace one more of their damn shitty ass fans

Sounds like that list is getting pretty short

System76!

Their product quality and servicing are top notch but they don't have a good price/performance ratio. "Lemur Pro" starts at 1.4k and this gives you Intel GPU & 8GiB RAM. https://system76.com/laptops/lemur#specs
