Mobility and hybrid work transforms day-to-day operations and improves workforce flexibility
Pros and Cons
  • "The mobility aspect is crucial for my role, as I need to work from various locations including our head office, home, and colo data centers remotely."
  • "We're getting good value from our contract, particularly since COVID and hybrid working, and we have seen significant benefits from that contract, especially with the changes in the world over the last two or three years."
  • "In terms of improvements for this model of laptop, the previous Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops I had had a battery that was not great at all, however, the latest version we've got has a battery that is actually quite good."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops has been day-to-day working. Since the COVID pandemic, we have been working on a digital workspace project, which involves consolidating various use cases. As a result, laptops have become the primary edge component we're using instead of desktops. This allows people to be mobile. 

Outside of that, I was providing on-call tech support in my previous role until very recently, so it's all about being mobile, even at this stage. As a data center manager, I spend most of my time in our head office, working from home, or remotely in our colocation data centers.

What is most valuable?

The mobility aspect is crucial for my role, as I need to work from various locations including our head office, home, and colo data centers remotely. 

The hardware is specifically chosen for data center work, and everything is centralized. We're getting good value from our contract, particularly since COVID and hybrid working. 

We have seen significant benefits from that contract, especially with the changes in the world over the last two or three years. I was involved in the project to move away from desktops. Now there are only a fraction of the desktops compared to what we had five years ago; it's all laptops.

What needs improvement?

In terms of improvements for this model of laptop, the previous Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops I had had a battery that was not great at all, however, the latest version we've got has a battery that is actually quite good. 

The more you can get out of your battery, the better, especially since I'm moving around so much and sometimes might forget my power cord. So the longer battery life is essential. Even when I'm in the office, I would be moving from meeting room to meeting room, and every now and again I'd forget to charge at lunchtime.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops for just about a year, however, I have been with the company for 21 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of the stability and reliability of Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops, we automate our patching process. There was a recent issue with a Windows patch, but that isn't necessarily just related to Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops; it's around the patching process. I've seen a couple of crashes recently; however, that's due to a patch that got fixed later. Other than that, I haven't experienced any problems.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops scale well with the growing needs of our organization. We have an age profile with a huge number of people retiring while new ones come in, as well as the expansion of our organization and digitalizing our processes. This growth, especially in cybersecurity, has completely changed over the last three years, and we are expanding on two fronts, which gives us the capability we need.

How are customer service and support?

I've worked with Dell support primarily on the PowerEdge side. I engage with colleagues for support inquiries, but not on the laptop side. I log into premium pages to check our orders and their status. For support, we have another managed service. Recently, we sought a specific answer about managing our power and removing a vulnerability, which took some time to resolve. 

If I would rate Dell support on a scale of one to ten, I would definitely place them at a nine. I rarely give a 10 to anybody.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We haven't considered other laptops before going with Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops since we're a public utility with a strict tendering process. It goes without a tender, and we have requirements that are based on financials and needs, which are very transparent, and whoever meets those wins.

What was our ROI?

I haven't seen money savings specifically. That said, I notice the value in being mobile and having hybrid working capabilities to go green. We had different hardware requirements depending on user roles, allowing me to adapt. Even when we have new joiners, the onboarding process of getting laptops out to them in a timely manner and automating the build has saved time. Just from the mobility aspect, people working this way these days is crucial for staff retention; being stuck at a desktop or a specific location has seen big changes in the last five years.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Regarding pricing, that falls under the contract that I own for Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops. I got the hardware specific for the data center, however, everything is centralized. We're getting good value from that, particularly since COVID and hybrid working. We have seen good value from that contract especially with the changes in the world over the last two or three years.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I don't know which other solutions applied for tender, and I was not involved in that process.

What other advice do I have?

I couldn't tell you the exact model of Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops I'm using. Its age is probably three to four years old, and I just recently upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have plenty of RAM to do that, so it's not that old. At this stage, I've been using Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops for probably 17 to 18 years.

I typically would not use the peripherals such as keyboards or mice. I work directly on it, which I prefer because of the mobility it provides to move around to various areas in conjunction with my phone. Even in our data centers, we actually have our WiFi enabled in locations as well, so I'm not hot-spotting. The main thing is just to be mobile and that more so than anything else.

One of the desks here today mentioned that the latest versions of Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops are more efficient, even though the fan can get a bit noisy. They've said the latest versions have addressed that issue, so it's good to hear that improvements have been made.

I rate Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Support consistently responds quickly and hardware performs under daily remote and travel demands
Pros and Cons
  • "The reason we are staying with Dell Enterprise Laptops is the support, as Dell just jumps on right away, helps you out, the technology never fails, and if you have ProSupport, they send you the part the same day, which is a big win for us because we're in healthcare and each minute counts."
  • "We haven't had any complaints other than about the weight of the Pro Max."

What is our primary use case?

Our main use cases for Dell Enterprise Laptops involve remote work from home users and conferences. I do a lot of conferences, so we need something lightweight. When I'm home, we need the Pro Max because I need the horsepower. That's why we have both.

What is most valuable?

The feature of Dell Enterprise Laptops that I like the most is that it just works. It never fails yet.

This benefits my company at the end of the day because we were an HP shop before at the company where I'm working now. Dell really is a very good product. In terms of support, it's top-notch. That's why I went with Dell.

I do use Dell Enterprise Laptops with an Intel CPU inside. I think the Intel CPU is the 7 Pro.

The Intel processor handles my workloads well compared to what I expected. Our laptops sometimes have test machines like VMware Workstation, so it never slows down. It's pretty good, and it does all the work that we have to do every day.

Improvements related to the Intel processor in Dell Enterprise Laptops have been improving every year. Nothing really needs to change; they just need to continue what they're doing and keep improving.

What needs improvement?

To improve Dell Enterprise Laptops, I suggest maximizing everything, as now everything is mostly touchscreen. If they can make Pro Maxes thinner, that would be great. I know they're heavy, but I don't know how that's going to work with the actual parts that are moving. Making it more lightweight would be beneficial, but it's going to be tough.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working in my current field, my main area of expertise, for 13 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability and reliability of Dell Enterprise Laptops are proven by the fact that I drop my Dell multiple times. I go to data centers and drop them, and they still work. If I get a cracked screen or something happens with my pixel, I call them. It's under warranty. We have a great warranty. Sometimes they replace the full laptop, and sometimes just the part. They will actually ask me which part I want—do I want the laptop or do I want the actual screen to be replaced? That's pretty cool.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability with Dell Enterprise Laptops scales pretty well. We have multiple Dell models, including the Pro, the Pro Max, and other Dell laptops that we're using. It's on a per-user basis, and we have a specific laptop per user. We haven't had any complaints other than about the weight of the Pro Max. Everything else is good.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Dell customer service five out of five. I've worked with Cisco UCSs, HP, HP Superdomes, and Lenovos. Dell's support is amazing, 10 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Dell, we were using HP for laptops.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment in Dell Enterprise Laptops is very smooth. They come out of the box and tie in with our licensing. With Microsoft, it's just out of the box. If we need to join it to the domain, it gives our group policy that we need.

What was our ROI?

I can't answer whether I have seen any return on investment when using these laptops because I don't work on the financial side of things. The fulfilling thing is it's Dell Enterprise Laptops. If you give them your express service code, they help you right away. If you're on the plan, they can connect right away and help you out. I haven't really had any bad experiences with any Dell Enterprise Laptops that I've owned for the 13 years I've been working in the IT field.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the pricing is great. We have great Dell reps, and they work with our VARs. We can't complain because if there's another technology they want to come in, the pricing itself will win you right away.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did consider other laptops before choosing Dell Enterprise, specifically Microsoft Surface Pro.

What happened was that it was flimsy. We had a few test laptops, a couple of Surface 2 and Surface 3 that just blue-screened. It's great that you can detach them and attach them, but it's not as good as Dell Enterprise Laptops.

What other advice do I have?

The reason we are staying with Dell Enterprise Laptops is the support. The support with Dell Enterprise Laptops is just night and day. I've also used HP in a different company, and it's so different. Dell just jumps on right away, helps you out, and the technology never fails. If you have ProSupport, they send you the part the same day, and that's a big win for us. We're in healthcare, so each minute counts for us.

The advice I would give to other companies that are considering getting Dell Enterprise Laptops is that I know some of you are used to other technologies, but give Dell a chance and give it a good test. Talk to their support. You will fall in love with Dell Enterprise Laptops. Talk to your Dell rep and your VARs; they're probably going to help you with prices. I rate this product 10 out of 10.

Reliable laptops have supported hybrid work and have provided strong performance and battery life
Pros and Cons
  • "Dell Business Laptops have supported my organization's hybrid workforce effectively because I can work from home, go to the office, and simply plug my laptop into the base station if needed."
  • "I want more battery life and I want Dell Business Laptops to be lighter while still maintaining durability in the next release."

What is our primary use case?

I generally use XPS laptops and I appreciate them because they simply work. Throughout my career with Dell Business Laptops, I have worked with them extensively, mostly with Windows and some Linux depending on where I am and what I am working on at the time. I have encountered issues, just as every vendor and every product does, but I appreciate the fact that when I have problems with Dell Business Laptops, I provide the service tag and the issue is resolved and taken care of.

What is most valuable?

I find the hardware features generally the most valuable, including performance and power as well as battery life. Dell Business Laptops have supported my organization's hybrid workforce effectively because I can work from home, go to the office, and simply plug my laptop into the base station if needed. Everything works seamlessly and simply.

I suspect the manageability aspects made Dell Business Laptops the most valuable for the organization, and for my team, the fact that virtually any software we want works, coupled with strong performance, good battery life, and portability has impacted us significantly.

What needs improvement?

I want more battery life and I want Dell Business Laptops to be lighter while still maintaining durability in the next release.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working in my current field for approximately 25 years, and the number of years I have been working in my main area of expertise is that same amount.

What other advice do I have?

My top priorities when selecting laptops for my organization generally include convenience, durability, portability so weight, and battery life. I think the nice thing about the security features of Dell Business Laptops is that I generally do not have to think about it. I find that it is difficult to compare the specific results or improvements my end users experience since switching to Dell Business Laptops because every vendor has their advantages, but what I am generally looking for is that my XPS meets those needs.

I would rate Dell Business Laptops an eight or nine out of ten overall because it is difficult for me to achieve a perfect ten, but generally if I have a problem, it is seamless to get it taken care of. If I were recommending Dell Business Laptops to a peer, I would suggest putting them next to each other and starting to type because half of them will give the answer with the keyboard sinking into the laptop. I would tell another IT leader or buyer who is on the fence about choosing Dell for their commercial fleet to go out and check the ecosystem, and as long as Dell stays competitive, I think it will speak for itself when putting them next to each other and starting to work on them. My overall review rating for Dell Business Laptops is eight out of ten.

Employees have received faster performance and long-term value with upgraded hardware configurations
Pros and Cons
  • "With the new Premier Page from Dell, they also have pretty fast delivery, so I think it scales pretty well because there is always supply available, and the machines are prepared for the future."
  • "Our account manager did lack some skills initially to make it all work, and setting up the special page took a lot of effort."

What is our primary use case?

The main use cases for Dell Enterprise Laptops in my company include Excel, browsing, applications, and WMS software, which represent most of our use cases.

What is most valuable?

RAM is the most important feature, along with the CPU, especially because in Excel we use a lot of reporting which makes a connection to the database of the WMS software, requiring a lot of CPU power and RAM power.

We use Intel inside, but the newest models have AMD. The older generation, the 5500 Latitude, has Intel i5 and i7 processors, while the newer models, the 16 Plus, have AMD CPUs. I think the Intel processors handle my workloads the same as AMD.

The only thing we notice is that Intel is more expensive; however, it has more business-related integrations, which AMD doesn't have. Since our company doesn't use those integrations, that's why we chose AMD for the new chips.

If Intel can lower the price, it would be an improvement; for the rest, I don't see any improvements. As far as I know, Intel is the market leader in CPUs, but in terms of price-quality, I think that AMD is a little better. The quality I refer to is the price-quality ratio.

What needs improvement?

For Dell Enterprise Laptops, it seems fine, and we don't have any adjustments needed. It would come in handy to have a better quality webcam, as it's not bad but not the greatest.

It's not the greatest in sharpness; it's a little pixelated sometimes. For personal use, I also have a MacBook, and in that, you have a 1080p webcam and you definitely see the difference. So that could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Dell Enterprise Laptops for probably two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I assess the stability and reliability of Dell Enterprise Laptops as good.

They work when you need them, and there's not a lot of crashes. With HP, we had instances where we would buy 100 of the same laptops with identical installations, and yet one or two would act weird for no apparent reason. With the new Dells, I don't have that issue yet; we haven't encountered troubles like that. The only issue we've noticed is that we have a Dell Enterprise Laptop connected to two Dell screens, but one of the screens, which is also a dock, sometimes goes black for about two seconds when plugged in, turning back on again without any cable interference. Multiple users have experienced this, which is unusual.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's hard to say, but with future needs in mind, that's why we order them with more specs. With the new Premier Page from Dell, they also have pretty fast delivery, so I think it scales pretty well because there is always supply available, and the machines are prepared for the future. Nothing is future-proof, but it's getting close.

How are customer service and support?

I couldn't say how I would rate their support; it depends if you count the account manager's effort. Our account manager did lack some skills initially to make it all work, and setting up the special page took a lot of effort. We are still debating some minor things with them, but overall, it's okay, aside from that issue. Since that's the only thing we needed from support and it wasn't handled well, I would say it's a four out of ten; however, I don't anticipate much trouble if the minor issues are resolved, then I think it will be alright.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before, we were looking at HP because they can do the same as Dell specs-wise and were a little bit cheaper than Dell. We chose Dell now mainly because we have a deal with them.

How was the initial setup?

The first thing I noticed with the older Dell Enterprise Laptops when I installed Windows 10 was a Dell app which installed along with it, enabling the proximity sensor. The proximity sensor got pretty annoying since we have the laptop docked with two displays; if the laptop is closed, the sensor doesn't work, and it automatically enables in the software. If you don't do any activity on the laptop for about a minute, it would shut down or turn the screens off, requiring me to log in again, which is pretty annoying. We have to disable the proximity sensor on every laptop. On the new laptops, I didn't notice any proximity sensor activity; I think they already disabled it.

What about the implementation team?

Most problems we fix ourselves unless there's something wrong with the hardware. Software-wise, we are capable of fixing most issues on our own. We don't have any issues yet with hardware, and we have some contacts for the Dell Premier Page, reaching out if we need specific hardware adjustments, but for the rest, we don't contact support.

What was our ROI?

We aim for five years with our laptops; that's why we don't buy the base model. We internally upgrade the RAM and we probably go for a higher-end CPU so we can make the five-year mark. We also need more storage, as 256 is very low; we need at least 512 unless we host everything online. For someone, especially a user who has everything on-premise, you just need the storage.

I must say it's a tight schedule because after five years, it drops down quickly; the laptop is hanging on by a thread. But employees at the company are extra happy when they receive a new one.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have a deal with Dell now, so the prices of the laptops are way cheaper than what we pay, for example, at Coolblue or Bol.com or retail prices.

We buy directly from Dell. It's only been since half a year now.

With the special page, we've definitely seen costs go down because of the five years we take to write them off, and with decreasing costs of the new laptops, especially when Windows 10 went out of business and we went to Windows 11, it saved us a lot of money.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

In my opinion, there are not better alternatives; we use the hardware from Dell, but software-wise, we use a lot of Microsoft, which is mostly the same on either Dell or HP. Dell is not making the CPU or GPU; they just put it together, and so does HP. The components are mostly the same, and while the software inside the laptop makes a difference, we don't use those software packages a lot.

What other advice do I have?

The models of Dell Enterprise Laptops I am using include the Latitude 5500, 5520, and around that series. The new ones are the Dell Pro and the Dell 16 Plus.

Most problems we fix ourselves unless there's something wrong with the hardware. Software-wise, we are capable of fixing most issues on our own. We don't have any issues yet with hardware, and we have some contacts for the Dell Premier Page, reaching out if we need specific hardware adjustments, but for the rest, we don't contact support.

We have a better price, and that is the most important thing for our company, the price point. I would rate this product an eight out of ten overall.

Uses reliable devices with strong battery life to support education and cloud-based workloads
Pros and Cons
  • "I have seen a return on my investment from Dell Enterprise Laptops; we have laptops that are now 10 years old and still working."
  • "The only thing is everything you need to buy extra; you need to watch what is compatible, and it is hard to find on the website which pen works with which laptop because of the other glasses on the screen."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for using Dell Enterprise Laptops is because we work in the education sector and the education laptop for teachers needs to flip and you need to write things on it. That is a nice feature with Dell Enterprise Laptops.

I appreciate that for the students, they have indestructible laptops and can have some water resistance.

What is most valuable?

The benefits from using Dell Enterprise Laptops so far are really good batteries. Sometimes I need to replace them after three years, but not in a couple of months or a year. It is mostly a long time. From the 200 laptops I bought, only two laptop batteries died in three years, so that is nice.

I use Dell Enterprise Laptops with Intel inside.

The i5 processor handles my workload for our business well because we only work in the cloud with Office 365 and we do lots of Copilot. That is how we use the laptops, mostly timing with beaming to teacher screens so they can make the screens bigger for the students to watch. The Wi-Fi is really important, so it has never failed, so that is good.

What needs improvement?

In areas where I think Dell Enterprise Laptops could be better, I would prefer to see a bigger range to choose from because if you want a bigger keyboard, you need to step up a bit higher price range. It might be better to have something in the middle as the price is different. Perhaps if you have five more range in the Latitude.

To make it a 10 for me, I think a better camera would be necessary. The camera is not bad, but I work a lot with Microsoft Teams and the camera is not that good for conversations mostly. I think this laptop is three years old, so perhaps it is now better, but I cannot say that.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working in my current field for 15 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Regarding stability and reliability of Dell Enterprise Laptops, I can say that we now have three generations of laptops in our school. The last laptop can flip so you can use it as a tablet. The only thing is everything you need to buy extra; you need to watch what is compatible, and it is hard to find on the website which pen works with which laptop because of the other glasses on the screen.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Dell Enterprise Laptops is that they have a good price for the market we have. We always try to watch the differences between the laptops especially for the students because the parents need to pay for it, for four years, five years, end of life. At the moment, Dell Enterprise Laptops and Lenovo are in competition for the students price-wise. For that reason, I am mostly in favor of Dell Enterprise Laptops, but the parents keep on saying, 'Let us look at the Lenovo also,' because that is competition on the market.

How are customer service and support?

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would evaluate Dell support as an eight because even if the Pro Support is overdue by two weeks, I can still call them and they come. I think that is good because they treat you as a good customer and they can help you further. It is really nice to have a good relationship, and they are most of the time within one business day with us.

To make their support a 10 for me, I think if they have more connection, because we had it before, perhaps they could work on having more connection with account managers who talk about new things. We are still growing in all our schools with one environment, and I think it is hard for an account manager to individually come to the schools. They come to the central organization, but for me as an IT person from the school, it would be nice if I had someone who comes to check how the laptops are performing. We have this new thing, this new feature. It would be proactive. If you bought 200 laptops, how are they? How can we help further? Are you missing something?

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In comparing Dell Enterprise Laptops to Lenovo laptops in both pros and cons, the pros of Dell Enterprise Laptops are that when you hold it, you are holding a laptop. It is more robust and sturdy. The Lenovo laptop is more for younger students who go to school, around 13 or 14 years old, and they have more of a playful look. Students are more attracted to that one, while I tend to look at things from a business view.

How was the initial setup?

I would describe my experience deploying Dell Enterprise Laptops as good, because we can put them in Intune and Office automatically, and we can Autopilot them and distribute them immediately. That is really nice to have them work with Microsoft; nothing to say, it is straightforward.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on my investment from Dell Enterprise Laptops; we have laptops that are now 10 years old and still working. We are giving them to donations because Windows 10 is end of life. However, if they wanted to use them, they work. We are very glad about that.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have not evaluated laptops with AMD inside because I always want the better option in my head that worked for me and it did not disappoint. Why should I try something else?

What other advice do I have?

When choosing laptops, Intel processors influence my purchase or refresh decisions as I am from the old school, so Intel for me is a must because it is always proven good technology for me.

My advice for someone who is considering purchasing Dell Enterprise Laptops is to go to the forum. From there, connect and make connections, and you will see a lot of good partnerships with Intel, which makes your decision easier, as you can talk with customers and learn why they made their decisions.

I would rate this review a 9 overall.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Reliable business laptops have sustained long workdays and supported fast remote assistance
Pros and Cons
  • "I have been overall very impressed with the 20 plus years that I have been using Dell Business Laptops, and I find that Dell continues to go above and beyond in creating and designing these laptops and making them last."

    What is our primary use case?

    I have been using Dell Business Laptops since I started working in IT. I support clients remotely by remoting into their machines while using Dell Business Laptops. We use a tool called Tanium, which works with a component called ScreenMeet that allows us to remote into our clients' machines to further assist with various issues they have on their machines. It could be anything from login problems to something not working properly on their machine, such as a browser problem or even an application-specific problem.

    What is most valuable?

    The main valuable feature for me is the battery life of Dell Business Laptops. I really appreciate the length of time that the laptop allows me to use it without having to constantly charge it. Currently, the laptop I am using gives me about five to seven hours of battery life, which sustains me for most of my workday, and that is very helpful.

    Processor-wise, the laptop is wonderful. I do not experience any snags or issues with performance. I do not run heavy applications on the machine, but the laptop in general is not slow. Point and click actions immediately allow me to open what I need, and there is not any lag time.

    Speed and efficiency are how Dell Business Laptops have positively impacted my organization. It has allowed us to better assist our customers, and they do not have to wait on us for our computers to do what they need to do for us to be able to help them.

    What needs improvement?

    I wish Dell Business Laptops would continue creating top-notch laptops that are built to last. I simply wish Dell Business Laptops would keep up the good work with how the laptops are designed and run in terms of their reliability.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been in IT since February of 1999.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I have always used Dell Business Laptops and did not previously use a different solution.

    What about the implementation team?

    We work with our clients, but we are not heavily involved in procuring the laptops for them. A lot of the decision-making happens on their end, and then we implement them.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    There was no need to evaluate other options before choosing Dell Business Laptops.

    What other advice do I have?

    Take a closer look at what you need the product to do for you, and you will probably find that Dell Business Laptops will be able to handle it and go above and beyond your needs.

    Our clients have always used Dell Business Laptops, but anytime they have gotten a newer model, it is usually faster and better with more performance.

    These laptops are built to last. They will perform very nicely in terms of what you throw at them, whether you are a light user or running programs that utilize resources and need space.

    I have been overall very impressed with the 20 plus years that I have been using Dell Business Laptops, and I find that Dell continues to go above and beyond in creating and designing these laptops and making them last. I gave this review a rating of 10.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Standardizing devices across regions has improved collaboration and reduced processing times significantly
    Pros and Cons
    • "The experience deploying Dell Enterprise Laptops has been very good, and working with Dell made it seamless since devices could be bought and shipped locally even in some of the trickier countries where the company operates."
    • "Dell Enterprise Laptops could improve, particularly in the battery life department, as it has been observed that some competitors use small chips that consume less power and provide more battery life."

    What is our primary use case?

    Dell Enterprise Laptops Pro Plus line is primarily used, and the Pro Max devices are utilized for bigger workloads.Most use cases for those models involve office work, such as Excel spreadsheets, Teams, and collaboration applications. The Pro Max models are also used for graphic design, structural drawings. The majority of laptops in use feature Intel processors. The latest generations of Intel CPUs are primarily used, specifically the 14th and 13th generations, and all previous generations have been used in older laptops as well. Both i5 and i7 CPUs are in use, and the Pro Max models contain some i9 processors. The Intel processors handle workloads very well compared to expectations, as the larger processors are used for heavier workloads such as drawings, which are very CPU and GPU intensive. The productivity boost from the Intel CPUs in combination with integrated and NVIDIA GPUs is greatly appreciated.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Benefits have been seen due to the Intel vPro environment where manageability is excellent, and the security aspect is also very favorable. Intel inside does not affect the decision to purchase more or refresh current stock, but the combination of the latest Intel CPUs with a strong NVIDIA GPU for maximum power output is greatly enjoyed.

    What is most valuable?

    The primary focus is on the standardization of Dell Enterprise Laptops, and the value that it brings is the ability to give everyone the same laptop, allowing each person to work in their own way without concern for device specifications.A large project in Africa involved the deployment of many laptops, and significant value was observed since everyone was very happy about the manageability and the faster way of working compared to before.The specific output cannot be specified, but an increase in efficiency has been observed since some applications that previously took 40 minutes to process a document now take approximately 10 or 5 minutes, showing a significant improvement in productivity.

    What needs improvement?

    Dell Enterprise Laptops could improve, particularly in the battery life department, as it has been observed that some competitors use small chips that consume less power and provide more battery life.Mostly, Apple is utilizing very small chips that enhance both battery life and performance, which is an area Dell could potentially improve upon, as seen with smaller ARM chips that perform significantly better for battery life.To achieve a perfect score, improvement in battery life and a bit more power in the smaller devices would be necessary.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Dell Enterprise Laptops have been used in the company for around 5 to 10 years, and a very good partnership with Dell existed before the current management joined the company.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability and reliability of Dell Enterprise Laptops are mostly good. While some issues with certain devices occurred in the past, the Dell account manager helped resolve those quickly, and currently, no significant reliability issues are encountered.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Dell Enterprise Laptops scale very well with the growing needs of the organization because managing and deploying a large number of devices is straightforward and efficient.

    How are customer service and support?

    Dell provides excellent support directly to users, which reduces the burden of direct contact with end users, making the process smoother. Dell's customer support would be rated an 8 or 8 plus, as it significantly reduces downtime and costs associated with shipping devices back and forth for repairs.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Before Dell Enterprise Laptops, HP devices were used, and upon standardizing on Dell, the life cycle of the HP laptops was allowed to run out before replacing them with Dell models.

    How was the initial setup?

    The licensing process has been quite easy since Microsoft Intune is primarily used for management, and the setup is smooth in collaboration with Microsoft for correct enrollment across different countries and companies.

    What was our ROI?

    A return on investment from using Dell Enterprise Laptops has been observed. This return is mostly due to the standardization, as Dell is a well-known brand globally, and it is encouraging to see that people are eager to receive and work on new devices.In terms of standardization leading to a return on investment, improved manageability has been noted compared to when the company operated individually. Since managing that company began, security and productivity have increased alongside user experience.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    A variety of laptops were considered before selecting Dell, including HP and Lenovo, especially in locations where Dell could not provide devices. Nearly all possible brands have been explored, but currently, Dell remains a top choice.The primary reasons for choosing Dell over other solutions are the price, the strong historical connection with Dell, and the excellent support received, allowing users to directly contact Dell for repairs.

    What other advice do I have?

    The service owner for the workplace department manages most of the workplaces, laptops, and devices.Intel inside does not affect the decision to purchase more or refresh current stock, but the combination of the latest Intel CPUs with a strong NVIDIA GPU for maximum power output is greatly enjoyed.Some Dell Enterprise Laptops with AMD processors have been evaluated and used as well, but honestly, no significant difference has been observed since every supplier offers good performance in their own way. For the enterprise department, Intel CPUs are typically used.Standardization around Intel was not a conscious decision. Recently, as Dell has been implementing more AMD options, switching in the future might be considered depending on potential benefits, but for now, uncertainty remains.Approximately 2,200 laptops are in use across the main company, all standardized based on their location and the specific company they are associated with.The experience deploying Dell Enterprise Laptops has been very good. Although deployment in some of the trickier countries where the company operates was challenging, working with Dell made it seamless since devices could be bought and shipped locally.The overall review rating for Dell Enterprise Laptops is a 9 out of 10.
