Hey everyone! I'm in the process of transitioning my company's computers from HP to either Dell or Lenovo. I'm particularly looking at Lenovo's NEO lineup, which has shown solid performance with some recently deployed models, while I've also got my eye on Dell's new Pro and Pro Max workstations. I've historically preferred Dell, but I'm concerned about their office-oriented systems like AIOs and micros. I really want to maintain a consistent brand within our fleet, as I'm not keen on mixing brands. Reliability and low noise levels are crucial, as I've had some unfavorable experiences with Dell's entry-level models in the past. Any insights or experiences you can share? Thanks a lot!

I'd recommend sticking with Dell. They usually offer better support, faster shipping on custom builds, and more competitive pricing. Just make sure you go for the Pro models or higher since the entry-level options are often lower quality, like the Inspiron line.
We've been through all three brands and have stuck with Lenovo the longest. The business-class models tend to be more robust, and their support has been pretty solid for us.
I typically stick with Dell for deployments; their prices are reasonable, ordering is straightforward, and many of their models can ship the same day. Plus, I find their support to be much better compared to the other brands.
I like both brands, but I've been let down by some BIOS update issues from Lenovo lately. I haven’t explored the latest Dell models yet, but my past experiences with the Latitude 5000 and 7000 series were positive.
Honestly, all brands have their pros and cons, so it really comes down to personal preference. I lean towards Lenovo myself, but I wouldn't dismiss Dell entirely. It's like asking someone to choose between Ford and Chevy—everyone has their favorites!
Agreed! We exclusively use OptiPlex and Precision lines. The Inspiron laptops are just not suitable for professional use. Plus, their accidental damage coverage is a nice bonus.
