Dell Business Laptops Reviews

I use my laptop for everything. From creating whole Excel sheets with planned equipment upgrades to editing videos for recordings that we conduct in a laboratory, so it's very utilized in many fields.

In my private time, I repair electronics, so I very often use my laptops to generate files and data that are required for me to run the console, repair the console, and fix the console, for example. So quite powerful devices are necessary. I don't even care about the weight of this XPS because it can do so many things that it doesn't bother me at all to carry it all the time with me.

Latitude is my favorite one since always. It's the tank of Dell Enterprise Laptops. In terms of reliability, it's super cool. With the newer versions of Dell Basic, Pro, and Super Pro, similar to Apple, the quality also, in my opinion, has decreased. I know that there will be some changes next year with a newer model, but for now, I see it as a marketing trick to get people because the laptop looks similar to MacBook.

Super slim design is excellent, and I don't understand why Dell is resigning from this design. It's for travelers, for people who travel a lot, it's super efficient, super comfortable, and convenient to have a super slim, super light laptop.

First, it has plenty of features. Second, it weighs a lot in terms of weight. It's not a light laptop that you can travel with. It's not 13 inches, it's a 15 inches laptop with a Core i7 11th generation with, I think, RTX 3050 Ti. It's not a super powerful graphics card, but for what I do, it is fully sufficient.

I have plenty of complaints regarding throttling and overheating laptops because the cooling system in Dell Enterprise Laptops is not sufficient enough. What I notice is that the thermal paste used in the laptops is different across the platforms. I understand the difference in the pricing between Dell Enterprise Laptops Latitude series 3, 5, 7, and 9. However, using the same thermal compound should provide long life for the cheapest models, which are used the most. Right now, currently in the company, I am struggling with the whole finance department struggling with throttling because the laptops are overheating due to very poor quality thermal compound. I am replacing it with PTM right now and the laptops get a new life.

It's not very professional, but you need to have some knowledge about what to replace and how to disassemble a laptop. Of course, the smaller laptops are easier to disassemble than the bigger ones, mostly because of the size of the cooling system and how it's built. In some laptops, you can just remove the fans. In some laptops, fans are integrated with the copper, so you have to remove all the elements.

Don't try to be similar to MacBook or Apple. Don't try to copy MacBooks. It's not the way. I love Dell Enterprise Laptops because of their unique design. There were plenty of things that were impressive, where I thought, "Wow, that's a new Dell Enterprise Laptops model. I want this one." I can't afford it myself now, so I'll buy it later when I am replacing the laptop. But for a really long time, the keyboard was a super feature in Dell Enterprise Laptops. It was super smooth to type on. The battery, screen, speakers, these were all quite good. I never used a cheaper model of Dell Enterprise Laptops. Now I am struggling with some models purchased by previous IT in the company with the series, I think 7330, which is the most oily laptop I ever touched in my life. It's already peeling off the top coating layer. But older models were much nicer. I think in terms of overheating, the design has changed because Dell gained a bit more space in housing for cooling. I don't mind them being thicker, but don't go the MacBook way. It's not the way.

I have complaints regarding throttling and overheating laptops because the cooling system in Dell Enterprise Laptops is not sufficient enough.

I have used Dell Enterprise Laptops customer service.

I would recommend decreasing the amount of AI. Keep people in their places because you can get in a loop with AI asking you all the time the same question, even though you are answering differently or you want to contact a real person. It will give you the same answer over and over. The second thing I notice is that there is plenty of troubleshooting before you can report your laptop as faulty. I had a situation with a user that was really difficult to explain because the screen was flickering, but only in Windows. Not in BIOS, not in a booting screen, only in Windows. When you reinstall the system, it wasn't flickering for a moment, but then after the drivers update, it was starting to flicker again. It wasn't something big, but imagine spending eight hours in front of the screen that gently flickers all day long. The user didn't notice it. I was fixing her laptop, and she came with a different issue. I asked her, "Don't you see what's going on on your screen?" She said, "No. Oh, I notice it, but I thought that is in my head." So it took me two weeks to fix it. First, what I got from feedback from the help desk was that I need to use diagnostic tools provided by them to diagnose the laptop. So I did that. I sent them the report. A few days later, they contacted me saying, "However, you have to do it on a freshly installed system." But there is data on my user account that I cannot touch and I won't reinstall the system. I had another spare hard drive. Still, for me, it was like nobody mentioned it before that I have to prepare this on a freshly installed system to have reliable diagnostics. I did the diagnostic on site in the systems that you can force. Everything was okay. In terms of the repair technician, I gave him the highest rating ever. He was at my place three days in a row to repair the laptop. He did it super fast. I think each repair scenario took him less than 40 minutes to come, replace, and report what was going on.

In France, I think Dell's policy is a bit different. We had a situation recently where one of our users had an issue with a faulty keyboard. He called Dell Enterprise Laptops, and the next day the technician was there without any diagnostics, without any AI in the way. No chatting, no clicking here or there, no doing this. People don't want that. They want to call, and they want to have the thing sorted out. Especially when they are not technical users without the knowledge of how the laptop works and what it does.

I have had plenty of companies across my career. Most hated is HP, most beloved is Dell Enterprise Laptops. Somewhere in the middle is a place for Lenovo and IBM Lenovo. Dell Enterprise Laptops is the most immortal brand I think was the Latitude D620 from I think 2004 or 2005.

I was fighting here in Europe with my managers in the US because they wanted me to use HP, which I completely don't appreciate. I don't like the policy of HP, and I don't like their new builds. So we decided to stay with Dell Enterprise Laptops. We got only two departments in the whole Fujifilm that are working on Dell Enterprise Laptops. The first one is in Canada, it's VisualSonics, and the second one is SonoSite here in Europe.

I have had plenty of complaints regarding throttling and overheating laptops because the cooling system in Dell Enterprise Laptops is not sufficient enough. What I notice is that the thermal paste used in the laptops is different across the platforms. I understand the difference in the pricing between Dell Enterprise Laptops Latitude series 3, 5, 7, and 9. However, using the same thermal compound should provide long life for the cheapest models, which are used the most. Right now, currently in the company, I am struggling with the whole finance department struggling with throttling because the laptops are overheating due to very poor quality thermal compound. I am replacing it with PTM right now and the laptops get a new life.

It's not that easy. I'm IT, so I can do it, but my people won't be able to do it by themselves.

Latitude is my favorite series. I dug up recently a laptop from 2010 and the battery still lasts around six years. It was not in use for I think the last four years, just laying in a closet. I charged the battery, and it runs smoothly on Windows 10 and on Linux. That's an awesome device.

In terms of recent ones, I have from the new line one Dell Pro which is, let me say, I'm really impressed in terms of battery. I think it's the new newcomer for finance working on it and the battery lasts very similar to the Dell Enterprise Laptops Latitude that I have, the 5440 model at the company.

Don't try to be similar to MacBook or Apple. Don't try to copy MacBooks. It's not the way. I love Dell Enterprise Laptops because of their unique design. There were plenty of things that were impressive, where I thought, "Wow, that's a new Dell Enterprise Laptops model. I want this one." I can't afford it myself now, so I'll buy it later when I am replacing the laptop. But for a really long time, the keyboard was a super feature in Dell Enterprise Laptops.

I don't mind them being thicker, but don't go the MacBook way. It's not the way.

For Dell Enterprise Laptops, I give this review an overall rating of 8.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Positive

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Positive

Before Dell, we were using HP for laptops.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Neutral

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

Positive

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Positive

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When I started, the company had the Precision already in place, and we continued that trend.

The benefits my company has seen from using these desktops and laptops include their reliability. They've been excellent and relatively rugged, capable of withstanding impacts. It's important that people have the laptops they need to do their job effectively, and with Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops, we achieve that.

The features of Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops that are most valuable to our users, especially for our sales staff, are their lightweight design. I usually select a 14-inch Latitude for our sales staff since they appreciate how portable and easy it is for travel. 

Our developers have different needs as they are more desktop-based, so they receive the heavier Precisions with 15 or 16-inch screens. 

For the specifications, I choose the Ultra 7 processor for all types of laptops, with 16 GB of RAM for sales and admin staff using the Latitudes, and 32 GB of RAM for developers with usually one or two terabyte SSD.

Easier contact methods would make it perfect. When using the Dell support page, finding the right information to log a warranty repair can be challenging. From what I've seen today with some new features coming out, such as Dell Command where you can see your device in the cloud, it seems to be improving. I need to investigate it further. Currently, the Dell website could improve the process of finding warranty repair information and making initial contact.

We've been using Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops Precision laptops for developers since I started with the company three years ago.

Regarding stability, our most recent issue was with a Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops Precision 3570. While the device itself remained stable, the SSD failed due to age. 

After replacing the SSD and performing a factory reset with Windows reinstallation, it functioned perfectly. The quality of components, including HDMI ports that undergo frequent cable connections, has been reliable. 

Overall, stability has been excellent.

We currently operate on a Device as a Service model, leasing laptops with a nice refresh cycle. 

At the beginning of this year, I implemented this system and replaced 53 of our users' laptops. Next year, another batch will be replaced. Having that three-year refresh cycle is brilliant since our users get quality laptops that don't fail. When laptops malfunction, it costs us money because users can't work, which is expensive. Scalability simply involves maintaining these three-year refreshes.

I've only needed to use Dell's support for these devices a handful of times. They have been very responsive, with engineers arriving within a couple of days. They replaced devices without hassle, and I'm very satisfied with their service.

Previously, we used Lenovo laptops for our sales admin. We've moved everything to Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops now with the Latitude series. A BIOS fault caused battery charging issues, requiring factory repairs for about 20 laptops. That experience discouraged me from choosing Lenovo, leading me to select Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops for their reliability.

Reliability significantly contributes to our ROI from investing in these desktops and laptops. It saves time and money. The Dell warranty is fantastic, and we've experienced very few failures. When issues occurred, they were resolved under warranty without additional costs. While I cannot provide specific ROI numbers as a one-person operation, the benefits are clear.

The pricing was competitive for Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops products through our partnership with Softcat, a Dell reseller. 

As a small company of 250 employees with tight budgets, I must carefully select laptop specifications that suit our needs at the right price point. Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops offers an excellent range of price points that allows me to choose what works best for us.

Before selecting Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops, we considered HP as an option. I chose against HP primarily due to pricing, as Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops offered the same specifications at a better price point. We also considered Lenovo, however, I wasn't interested as, two years ago, we experienced failures with their devices. 

If you're looking to unify your devices across your organization, I highly recommend Dell Enterprise Desktops and Laptops as a partner. 

The devices are good, the support is good, and their new management software for BIOS updates and firmware updates is fantastic. It reduces my workload significantly. I run the devices through Intune and Azure, which works smoothly. 

Having Dell's services for managing devices frees up my time, which saves money for the company. 

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

When we had a full fleet of Dell Business Laptops XPS models on site about four or five years ago, we maintained Dell Business Laptops in the business until about four weeks ago. I have one sitting downstairs currently, so we've used them fairly recently.

In both the current and previous environments, I have always been an XPS fan, which is the model that offers more performance capability. We utilized those as the standard issue in my previous company and as a special issue in my current company for finance and a few key personnel. I have used Dell Business Laptops monitors, docks, keyboards, and mice, along with all the peripherals that surround them. They were used for end-user endpoints.

There are many benefits because Dell Business Laptops are a common device and quite popular. Using various tooling, I have never used any of Dell Business Laptops direct tooling, but they are very easy to manage. The unification of things such as docks, monitors, and cabling that connects all of these components is valuable. At my previous location, we had fifty laptops and fifty docks with multiple docks in stock. If anything ever happened, I was able to swap them out and get the other device repaired. They are simple, function as designed and as expected, which is good.

The TPM chip in every conceivable way is absolutely valuable, and secure boot is incredibly important in the industries I have worked in. That is a standard feature I use on all of the machines.

Kernel-level protection definitely helps me sleep better at night. We have never had any root-level intrusions. This has absolutely improved the company's security posture because there have been no problems.

From a features and functionality perspective, I would like to see improved or enhanced features in Dell Business Laptops.

I have been working with Dell Business Laptops for about 11 to 12 years.

I have not experienced any crashes, downtimes, or performance issues with Dell Business Laptops.

Dell Business Laptops are perfectly scalable. There is enough resource and enough work from Dell to enable it to be scaled to any size desired. They work whether the scale is really small or really large.

I have previously worked with other laptop technologies and decided to switch to Dell Business Laptops.

The initial setup was straightforward and I did not face any significant challenges or complexities during the initial stages.

I have seen positive return on investment and cost-effectiveness with Dell Business Laptops, though it might be difficult to estimate precisely.

Dell Business Laptops offers reasonable pricing, setup costs, and licensing options.

I recommend purchasing one and trying it out. Most IT professionals will be able to feel the quality of the device and experience the speed, and they will recognize that they are dealing with a premium device. There are always negative and positive reviews available, but there is a generalized positive view on Dell Business Laptops, especially the XPS models. I would rate this experience as a nine out of ten.
