This job has given me a Dell laptop, I had a Dell at my old job as well. I wouldn't think there would be much difference between laptops these days, but these Dells are so heavy and have terrible battery.
I've had a HP previously and that was quite nice, but it seemed like a high end model. And I've also had thinkpads which are just reliable and the battery lasts forever by comparison
Vostro I'm guessing? Yeah my order of preference is Lenovo > Dell > HP. But their "Entry level" it Vostro, Ideapad and Pavilion are all truely dogshit. HP have NO business being in the corporate space with their laptops.
I deal intimately with a very large fleet (ie. thousands) at my workplace, mostly Dell Latitudes & Precisions, HP EliteBooks and Apple MacBook Pros.
I agree that HP have no business being in the corporate laptop game these days. Absolute garbage.
We use HP Elitedesk micro PCs, they're pretty great. We don't use HP laptops - so whoever is making hardware decisions at work clearly agrees with you on the laptops.
My wife has an HP Elitebook from her work. No idea if it's any good, but she hasn't complained excessively about it.
