Henry, hands down DELL For laptops.

I've been running my Inspiron 4100 for a year now as my workstation and I did have one problem with the hard drive so I called them up and they shipped me a new drive but other then that the laptop's been excellent. This laptop is left on 24 X 7 in it's docking station and sees some road action once in a while.


We have multiple dell laptops and they've all been very good.

One thing though a 1 GHZ Desktop WILL be faster then a 1 GHZ laptop simply because of the Hard Drive speed. A laptops Hard Drive will only spin up to 4800 RPM when a Desktop can spin from 5400 - 15,000 RPM depending on IDE,SCSI and disk speed.

I've had nothing but excellent service with Dell but we do buy around 100K in systems a year with them so I guess we should expect that.
