Dell or HP for Small Business?

fruitbane asks: "I work for a medium-sized non-profit, approximately 50 full-time users and 100 desktop PCs. We're redoing all our technology plans and budgeting; that means it's time to pick vendors/brands and stick to them, something we haven't reliably done in the past. Sites like Consumer Reports review various PCs and manufacturers for home users. Are there any comprehensive reviews or advice sources for those trying to determine the best vendor/manufacturer for small business desktops and laptops?"

Go local

[WedgeTalon]

I saw someone else mentioned that they would go with a local reseller. While that's ok, I say go a step further and support a local builder who will build it from the metal up. Unless you're going for the absolute bottom-of-the-line, then the local guys usuly can get close to or even beat The Big Guys' prices. And, in my book, the local's reliability and support can't even be touched by Dell et all. Unless you LIKE speaking to call center drone #9487 from the Philippines who isn't even ALLOWED to deviate from their script and whose solution to everything is to wipe and reinstall windows. Or unless you LIKE your computers to explode.
