If only. I want to migrate to Dell, but the hardware is just so bad compared to Thinkpads.
- debacle 11y agoAsus hardware is vastly superior to Lenovo and I find has a better price point than many Lenovos. Also, what lines are you looking at? My company recently got a new round of Dells and they seem pretty well put together.
- creshal 11y ago> Asus hardware is vastly superior to Lenovo Is it? From my understanding, Asus has two product lines: Good hardware… and business hardware. Lenovo (and to a slightly lesser degree Dell) manage to make good business hardware. And if it doesn't have at least three years on-site service, it doesn't matter (to me) how good the hardware is. > Also, what lines are you looking at? Lenovo T/X series and Dell's Latitude 7xxx series. Particularly the 7440, where Dell insisted it's not a problem if the touchpad firmware reboots every minute (freezing input for a second – supposedly it's now fixed, after a year and a half, but people still report bugs), and when a month later the mainboard suddenly died, I stopped bothering with them. Going by reddit et. al. it seems to be a common occurrence.
- debacle 11y agoI have a pair of business laptops from Asus and they've been great for the last ten years or so. Also have an Asus laptop for home use and a friend just purchased one recently and the hardware still seems top notch.
- TurboHaskal 11y agoWhat about HP? The EliteBook series are quite good. A colleague has the newest 840 G2 and it gives my x250 a run for its money.
- creshal 11y agoBetween HP threatening to split up every year and the horror that is their support, I never got so far as to evaluate their actual hardware offerings.
