      What are the best brands from a reliability and build quality standpoint ?

      I’ve always thought dell was very good as (anecdotal evidence of course) Dells have had the best build quality from laptops here at home and seem to have lasted us the longest

        Same for me. It was always Lenovo, Dell, and Macbooks for build quality. Numerous desktop towers and laptops worked well for 5+ years with either brand.

        Dell fell off in quality from 2019 to 2021, but seems like they are improving now.

      We have 30-40 Dell XPS at work. Our sales teams has only ever killed one by pouring a soda on it. We have many that are 6-10 years old used as cheap remote laptop.

        I never said anything about HP being good and I would disagree on the Lenovo aspect. I think lower end Lenovos are better than lower end Dells but if we’re talking laptops I wouldn’t want either
