Leaving Dell
-
Anyone else contemplating leaving dell? We've seen their quality drop a lot for desktops and laptops in the past 6-12 months.
Who are you using? Reality is there is only 1 other company for us to really consider and that's HP.
-
We have HP desktops and laptops almost across the board.

I've been on HP for the last 7 years

I prefer dell only because their website sucks less for finding drivers?

Does HP have driver packages for all models to use with WDS like Dell does?

No idea honestly, but if they do you will never find them anyway.

I've not had to buy much in the last year or so,.. but prefer Dell over some due to it just work(ed). Not to mention I knew the line.
I got swayed to try HP Laptops and their port applicators... what a fiasco that was. I really wanted real honest to goodness dock. Seems that some are going to USB only.. which caused issues with display and printer installs.
NTM - Video, Audio, Network, etc all went through the one USB 3.0 thread....
-
Doesn't HP still have real laptop docks in the business line?
-
-
Now that HP and HPE are not the same company, I doubt that HP laptops will remain a standard for us. Having them as a stand alone company is just, weird.

There is also the possibility of leaving the traditional laptop world. Asus makes good hardware, for example, and actually makes a lot of the HP hardware. I've not used them for business but assume that they would be a potentially viable choice.

Asus Lacks good support. They also don't have docks.

Oh yeah, docks are going to be the hardest part I think. I think for serious equipment that you are stuck with just HP or Dell then. Don't even know if there is another player at all.

To bad there's no true Gateway anymore.
-
LOL. I hope you are kidding
Who devoured them anyway? Are they still around in some form?
-
Gateway was bought up by eMachines which in turn was bought up by Acer.
-
Hard to believe Gateway could be bought up by eMachines. eM always seemed so little. What awful, awful companies. Why did any of them want any of the rest of them. LOL.
They were each, in turn, the Packard Bell of their time.
