Thanuj Igalawithana - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Technical Lead at AtLink Communications Inc.
Daily performance has boosted long coding sessions and reliable battery-supported work
Dell Business Laptops have excellent features that I appreciate from the two models I have used, both from the Inspiron line. One is the Inspiron 7573, which was a two-in-one foldable model. The other one is the Inspiron 15, the current one, the Inspiron 15 3530. I appreciate the first one because we can fold and use it as a tablet as well. Performance-wise, both have about 16GB RAM. Performance is the key thing for me because I am a software engineer, so the performance needs to be there. In addition to that, both Dell Business Laptops are touch-enabled. In that case, we are building some UWP applications as well, so that helps me to work on that. The AI-enhanced performance features in my Dell Business Laptops have influenced my productivity levels, particularly with the boot time. In the current one, it boots really fast. That is the main thing. If I sleep it, then it resumes working in very few seconds. That is one of the key things I appreciate about using my laptop. Also, with the enabled new Microsoft 365 Copilot, that helps me. The dependability of Dell Business Laptops, with daily use and daily wear and tear, shows they are durable. I am using it daily and it has enhanced the battery life as well. In old days, I think around two years of time, you have to replace the battery sometimes. But now, with the new versions, the feature has been enhanced as I remember. That automatically enabled when it is plugged in and is discharged automatically without charging the battery.

Exceptional support and a fantastic product for our real-time vehicle tracking needs
The product is fantastic for our needs, and the Dell support has also been amazing. We have been very lucky with Dell recommending and supporting the right kit and allowing us, as clients, to access their top team. The CTO of EMEA Dell helped set up everything for us. We have gotten much quicker around the curve of what we needed to do. Ours is a business that is driven by intellectual property, so we have to get to the market quickly. Otherwise, no one is going to take our idea. With Dell supporting and recommending the right kit, it has been fantastic for us. It has made such a difference. Everything they have recommended has been absolutely superb.

Multitasking workflows have become smoother and save significant development time
HP Business Laptops provide proper smoothness because going from one application to another is kind of easy and it is quite durable. Its battery life is what stands out the most for me. A heating issue is present a little, but battery life and smoothness is what stands out for me. I find the keyboard of HP Business Laptops a little easier to use. Initially, I used Lenovo ThinkPad where the control key and FN button placement confused me because ThinkPad is quite different, but HP Business Laptops has a very easy keyboard layout that feels normal. I did not face any issues. Previously, I used Lenovo ThinkPad that my organization gave me at the start, and I occasionally faced problems with the FN key. Generally, in all laptops, the control button is present in the bottom left corner, which would be easy, but the FN key placement on ThinkPad caused keyboard issues. The display quality is also really poor in ThinkPad. We switched to HP Business Laptops. Previously, we evaluated and used Lenovo ThinkPad. We then switched immediately to HP Business Laptops because ThinkPad was lagging quite a bit, applications stopped responding when we were trying to use them, and it was not scalable.

Cons

"Dell can do better with their charger because the charger is a little bit big."
