We have changed over the last few years from Toshiba laptops to Dell
Laptops.  Desktops have been white boxes I have built myself but we are
now evaluating Dell desktops.  I have heard horror stories about Dell
before but our (limited) experience so far has been quite positive -
even on the home laptop front (not me) - I assumed they would put more
effort into the corporate area.  We have had a few occasions when they
were there the next day to fix things, no questions asked almost.

Any more detail from people here?

Thanks,

Phil.
