which laptop is better: Dell or Hp?

Seeing strictly from a business perspective, HP mainly focuses its attention to printing hardware. It has traditionally been a company with excellent printers. However, after the acquisition of Compaq, HP has introduced an excellent line of laptops. But their customer support remains a bone of contention. This is where DELL beats most of its competitors.\n\nBacked with excellent telephonic technical support and next business day on site support, DELL addresses the critical problem a customer faces in time of a crisis. This is one quality, the other companies are hardly able to match. Moreover, DELL focuses its primary attention to assembling Laptops and Desktops. This enables it to provide innovative mix of products that cater to a customers from all walks of life with a college going student at one end to hungry needs of corporate IT customers and governments. Further, DELL is the one of the first hardware vendor to successfully introduce new products launched by other IT hardware developers like Intel, nVidia, ATI etc.\n\nHowever, one cannot conclusively say which company is better. The choice of a laptop is very personal and individualistic.

The company I work for has 178 computers of which 46 are Dell (12 laptops, 32 desktops, 2 servers). We stopped after 46 because we had 29 of them go back for service and these were Dell's business class computers which are better than consumer class.\n\nWe then bought 101 HP computers (6 laptops, 92 desktops, 3 servers) and have only had 3 go back for service. We also bought 31 Apple computers (iMac's when they came out with Intel processors). None of the Apple's have had any problem so far. We're sticking with Apple computers from now on.\n\nMoral of the story:  Be careful when buying a cheap Dell. It's cheap for a reason.

Delll is the best computer off all since all offices use dell & u can switch it on for almost a year or two.... unlike sony & others u cant do with that ....this is the main advantage with delll & also dell is a very well known reputed company too....... so one can buy it with thier eyes closed.

I would never own anything but a dell!  We've had many different computers but nothing ever lived up to the dell.  We now own 4 dell laptops (one for each of us) and a dell pc.

DELL SUCKS PERIOD. TRUST ME.\n\nreasons dell sucks:\n\n1) they are located in idia\n2) they use their website and automated messages in support\n3) they are cheap\n4) they use cheap parts\n5) if they have the parts, they will build you brand new system out of old refurbished parts\n6) look at their warranties..dell is ~$100 for a full coverage 3-yr warranty..HP is ~$400 for the same.\n7) every HP that i have come in contact with has lived for more than 10 years and still boots up perfectly..the dells are returned within 10 days.\n\ntheres more, but im too lazy.

Look around at Dell's laptops. They've got pretty good laptops at decent prices.

Dell PC's are pretty good.  There tech support 2 years ago was top of the line.  If you are looking for a new computer they are all pretty much the same what you need to look for is who has the best Tech support.  I like HP tech support since it is based in the US and not in the 3rd world countries and it is pretty good.  They can build a computer to your specs too.

From personal experience, HP has always had great computers that always worked. Dell however I have always had problems with, they would always crash, or something would go wron with them. Gateway on the other hand I haven't used so I couldn't give you an opnion about them.\n\nReviewers would also agree somewhat on those 3 brands, PC World has done a review on desktop PCs. Of the 3 brands, HP comes out first, Then Gateway comes second, then Dell third. Gateway has a few PCs which are next to Dell or below Dell in the rankings. Overall, I would say HP is the clear winner.

i have a compaq persario and a hp laptop and customer service is great i've had the compaq for about 8 years and there isn't too much problems with it. i've had the hp for about 3 years and that's going great as well. i can't really say much on the dell cuz i've never owned one but i have used one and the dell doesn't really compare to the compaq and the hp. in my opinion i would stick with the compaq and hp.

I have worked with both expensive and cheap DELL machines and other computers such as GENESIS, Fujitsu Siemens, RM, etc. I have also seen some HP in action. But if you want to buy a medium range computer I suggest DELL.\n1. Because dell mashines are actually extensivelly tested before they go out.\n2. You buy quality: just open a DELL and see how the cooling system works, how good built the components are etc. These mashines are simply impresive. However you may also find that are abit more expensive than other mashines which may appear to be faster. However you pay a bit more because you buy quality and quality means that during summer a medium range dell wont overheat and after 1-2 years the cooling system will be as good as new or in your area you may have free technical support with the option to have a repair man coming to your home to fix your dell if it has a problem. However DELL's never break down. So you dont have to pay for this service

I have owned five notebooks.  I currently run a Dell Notebook, and Two VIAOs at home and one Dell for work.\n\nI have owned 3 Dells...  Good function for your money.\n\nI have owned a HP...  Decent function, flimsy construction.  Returned it within a week.\n\nI have owned an Apple...  I did not like it.  It was very limiting, hard to find software and hardware unless I went on line or to the retailer.  Sold it in a month.\n\nI have just bought a VIAO.  I have one existing.  I like it the best.  It has many more features and is more Versatile.  It is also built well and very lightweight.

The best quality laptop for the money is the Dell, Inspiron serious. You can get an excellent, fast laptop, with plenty of memory, for around 500 dollars. I have a Dell, and I think it is excellent. I have tried many of the top brands, and nothing else even comes close to Dell.

I suggest you to go for HP...simply they are the best in Laptops for the past 10+ years....their support through out lifetime is another asset...they are technically advanced hence rated best.....if you are looking for cheaper one....then Dell could be your option.\n\nGood luck.\n:)

There is no Dell equivalent. The Macbook can run all the software that the Dell can run but the Dell can't run everything the Macbook can. \n\nOS X is much better than Windows, and it's much more secure.\n\nGet the Macbook. You'll be glad you did.
