Hello all,

I am looking for a good resource, preferably a template of sorts, to use for comparing 3 Hardware vendors. I am currently re-evaluating which vendor to switch to for laptops. DELL, Toshiba, or HP.

Thanks,
Clint

The numbers you really want to see are not going to be found compiled in one report.

Dell and HP are on the top of the heap right now.

Technology wise both companies are running neck and neck.

Dell seems to tailor more to the corporate clients. They will even custom tailor the os for a volumn customer.

I know that GE uses dell laptops, and have for years.

Depending what kind of quantity you are looking for seems to determine the kind of "We Want" deals you can get.

My company uses and recommends Dell.

Good Luck Lee
