Precision or Vostro
Hi all,
I'm buying a couple of laptops for my company (c35 people). In the past the drive has always been "get the cheapest" hence we have consultants struggling with very poor £300 HP 'special deals' that are just not fit for purpose!
I've, therefore, been trying to migrate over to Dell as laptops come up for renewal.
I've typically either bought from EuroPC or Dell refurbished.
My question is whether itw worth paying the c£200+ on a Precision 3551 over a Vostro? I'd only go for 2020/21 chips. The Precision I'm looking at as an i5-10400H processor and I prefer the unrestricted chips as you get that bit more power out of them. The Vostros will have the 'g' chips either 11xGx or 10xGx.
The users are desk based (in the main) so portability is less important than power. Also my company is cloud based so they will mainly be using browser windows, but probably many windows open at a time (10+).
My final concern is the Dell warranty. Precisions come with the 3yr Dell warranty out of the box, whereas with the Vostros directly from the Dell outlet, there's no options to extend beyond 1 year.
Advice/opinions gratefully received!
