Why we swiched from Dell to Lenovo
I work as an Admin for a fortune 500 company. Our users are eligible for a refresh after 3 years, so we buy laptops by the hundreds. We have recently switched from Dell 5xxx series to lenovo T series. The Lenvos are not only about $100 cheaper, but they have better build quality these days in my opinion. I really liked the latitude series from 2014-2019.... not a huge fan of the post 2020 models up until the current 5440 modes as the paint scratches easily, they overheat at times and sometimes they will only boot if you hold the power button down at least 15 seconds, something the average user does not know they can do. What do you guys think?
Edit: Thanks for all of your responses! This was not my decision by the way. I personally prefer HPs especially because I have found them a lot more repair friendly. I know I can expect more or less in terms of failure rate, the biggest thing to me is re-deployability. I really hate how a lot of the Dells come back from users working fine but they have scratches and paint that has chipped off. On the really bad ones we have to spend time and money replacing parts of the shell because it's not a good look to re-deploy them in such a condition. People will and do complain. HPs and Lenovos for the most part just have to be wiped down. We also have over 10,000 laptops in our enviroment, so cost savings add up quickly.
