All
Apologies for the cross-post. Most of our installed base is dual-boot
Apple hardware, but for many years now we have standardized on Dell
hardware for our Windows-only machines. Over the past couple of years we
have grown increasingly unhappy with Dell's level of customer service,
responsiveness to orders, adherence to time-tables, etc. We're thinking
of jumping ship to another vendor.
Have you standardized on any non-Dell vendor? More importantly, are you
happy with that vendor? We would be looking to purchase several standard
types of machines, including low-end desktops, high-end workstations,
and business laptops. It would be great if we could find a single vendor
to provide all these.
If you have had bad experiences with any vendors other than Dell, that
would be good to know too, so we can avoid those.
Thanks!
