      Dell, HP, Fujitsu, whatever you prefer.

      Have you ever bought Fujitsu? They always seem good by the specs and price.

          I had a Fujitsu Lifebook laptop (500 mHz P2)... That little thing was a beast. I'd have no qualms about buying another.

              Lots of them. Celsius (workstations), Esprimo (desktops), Primergy (servers) and all kinds of notebooks. Good quality, not any better or worse than HP or Dell.

                  Do you prefer Inspirions over Latitudes?

                    I wasn't clear. All laptops (except for 1) are Latitudes. The Inspirons are most of our old desktops. New desktops tend to be Optiplexes. If I were buying today, I might not even use Optiplexes, as these users really don't need a beefy machine.

                        Still have an Lifebook C6565 which still works, expect for the battery. P3 700 😉

                          We have Lenovo laptops. I don't recommend Lenovo laptops. We're getting rid of all of the Lenovo laptops.

                                White box is a decent option.

                                  I have to do Lenovo in the same region that he's in, they are the major supplier there.

                                    Another vote for optiplex micro, very nice built and quiet machines.

                                      What series ? cause not all Lenovo hardware is bad, the T series we have are very good and durable.

                                      We still have many operational T420 (operational since 2012/2013) that are the legacy line of IBM thinkpads.

                                      The new stuff are meh.

                                      And i dont understand the hate really for Lenovo, sure they did spyware crap (everybody does this, some get caught some dont, latest one is from HP keylogging) but you just have to do fresh-install, and I think this spyware crap what allows lenovo to release good spec hardware for cheap in my region, I recall having Lenovo smartphone A6000, and it was filled with crapware but very cheap. Anyway I have never came across scenario where a clean fresh OS didnt behave like clean fresh OS. I have heard with spyware that gets attached in the BIOS flash image but never encountered this yet.

                                      However that said I wish I have OEM that provides their drivers as .inf files, or for them to be as light and least intrusive as possible, especially with laptops, now you have driver and software GUI + service for monitoring the monitor, and for FN keys, and for battery optimization, and for HDD software shock monitoring, if you ask me there all gimmicks, or they need to be better grouped.

                                          The (spy|crap|bloat)ware (or a downloader for it) was stored in UEFI. You can reinstall as much as you want in this case.

                                            Then you haven't been paying attention to the news. The spyware/bloatware that was installed was done so at the driver level and put a shim between the network device and operating system. Even on a fresh-os install the driver would have been a problem.
