really most are fail, this is big quality factor. easy to drop , and easy to bump and easy to get hit all are.
all fail if you drop one and that kills the lame HDD, laptops HDD are weak, so get a SSD (read the G-force ratings and bingo , yah)
The chips are all the,near same, if you looked up each one you'd see the same maker and same model but on is faster but faster is now quality. quality means lasts longer and does not fail bumped or in hot room.
I used to work for huge chip maker we did have toy grade chips, but not one OEM bought them just toy makers. see? all were COMMERCIAL GraDE, AND BINNED BY SPEED.
What matters most is will the PC overheat? , or fail dropped. or if placed on blanket as did old. blocking vents super easy. the fans must run and keep it cool, or h3ll to pay.
Some new laptop are too thin for my taste, i use min for far off grid travel, and frail stinks and not easy battery swaps , not good at all, i carry 2 or 3 charged batteries. (i take 1 month vacations , far far afield )
others all then want is to pack it too school. (easy life style that)
my mobility is others. and matters hugely as does battery drain.
The parts are jammed tight inside, if you lay them out , you would see little difference once all that plastic is gone.
see these, the difference is speed and that is it, all chips PC to PC mostly are all the same but speed.
the best is CPU with lower power, and speed, but that costs more.... and worth it. (8540w below naked)
The other very important things is options allowed, RAM max.? this is not quality it is utility and expand-ability.
Which is why you posted correctly on the desktop forum ... LOL This is one of the most interesting questions I've seen on this forum in a long time. When I last bought a Vostro, it was a 270. It had EXACTLY the same components as the then current Inspiron, the 660. The only difference - and it wasn't insignificant - was that the Vostro came with WIndows Pro, while the Inspiron came with Windows Home. Both were at fundamentally the same price point, so the decision to buy the Vostro was a no-brainer. I have no doubt that a similar situation exists today. I haven't seen the new Vostros, but if they have a normally sized case (versus the narrow Inspiron case), that would be reason enough to buy the Vostro. Later upgrading of the power supply and video card, for example, would be MUCH easier. I hope this helps.

I should have been more clear. I'm asking on Dell desktop machines and the motherboards inside.

And I thank you for your answer --
I bought the Inspiron -- with 12GB RAM and 2 drives -- that's a pretty good combo.

The business machines seem to cost more, but their service packages seem to cost less. No matter.
It seems to take a long time for Dell to ship -- maybe they're pouring the wafers from scratch?

Close to christmas and with china trade war everything is going to be a long time shipping.
Vostro systems will have INTEL AMT whereas inspiron will not.
VPRO and AMT remote management is standard with business class systems.
