Dell vs HP vs Anything else

[Anonymous]

I know this subject has been talked about a while back, but I just wanted to know if any one had any experience with recent Dell workstations.

We currently use HPs - but are now looking at Dell's due to them being quite a bit cheaper. Personally I would rather use Apples or build our own PCs - neither of these is an option though, and beyond my control sadly.

Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about Dell (service, quality etc..)

Definitely go with HP over Dell. The Dell workstations are getting better, but they still can't compare to the solid build quality and reliability of the HP XW series.

This discussion may go on for sometime - thanks everyone for your input, we've decided to stick with HP.

Cheers,

Yeah redistributors discussions can go on forever.

As far as laptops, I've got two top-of-the-line Dells and one HP consumer line notebook, and I find I keep hunting for HP bargains so I can have one just to HAVE one as they really are very nice and at least as good in quality as anything anyone else does- (including the top XPS models). Simply put, HP is a very good company. I'm not super excited about their latest consumer laptops (they're pretty consumer cheap), but their business models and older ones are VERY nice.

The only other thing I've seen that I like as much in my hands are some of the Toshibas and re-distributors like Sager (those huge bulky horribly non-portable systems rock, esp. for upgrading- they really are nice, yeah not quite laptops, but they COULD be if necessary; one Sager 9xxx and a simply light IGP notebook for presentations with clients using premade quicktime movies or such.... yeah. (M'kay? I think we're gonna need you on... Saturday. Maybe Sunday too....)
