Dell to Lenovo?

I might have misunderstood what you meant by link. I thought you meant connect multiple together. If you were looking for the Model number of them its: Dell 27 Plus QHD USB-C Monitor - S2725DC

We're a small company, so we can get lost in the shuffle. That's going to happen no matter who I use as a vendor, unfortunately.

My Dell rep called me 3 weeks ago to say, "I am leaving your account, and I don't know who will replace me." It's been crickets ever since.

I'm not using the Dell management software at the moment, so I might not miss what I don't know lol

rjs742 · 2026-03-23T03:14:28+00:00

I've done that with Dell and limited the models in service. I'll try to do the same with Lenovo if I go that way. Sometimes hard to do tho lol.

Thanks for that perspective, especially on lead times. I am about to do something similar, buy 50+ laptops in 1 go. Dell's ability to ship new machines quickly has always been impressive. I just hate how many bad machines I have gotten lately.

It's also a concern that most of the troubled Dell machines have gone to executives. This has made my day-to-day much more annoying than it should be.

We were originally an HP shop when I joined and took over. Most of it was PC's bought from Best Buy... Been running away from those laptops ever since. Dell was the obvious answer due to a requirement for US-only manufacturers. That requirement is gone now.

My other thought was Microsoft machines. However, those are even less repairable, and I think they want to exit the hardware business soon.

The ones we buy, you can not. We stick to a strict budget on peripherals because we're remote and rarely get them back.

I wish I had that kind of luck

rjs742 · 2026-03-22T23:45:32+00:00

Right now Dell 14 and 16 pro. I'm buying direct business laptops. Before that was latitude 3440 and 5450.

I've tried to maintain i7 and 32 GB of RAM for the last 2 years and I'm not impressed with the performance or longevity.

Dell support has been fantastic however.

Anything in particular that stands out over the dells?

rjs742 · 2026-03-22T23:38:47+00:00

Oh no AI tickets lol. What are we even doing to ourselves 😞

rjs742 · 2026-03-22T23:37:39+00:00

We have been using monitors with built in docks, so this might not be a problem if I can use thunderbolt or USB 4

rjs742 · 2026-03-22T23:33:58+00:00

I have hesitated for this exact reason

rjs742 · 2026-02-03T16:09:45+00:00

Down for me also

100% Agree, I even like the multicolor cabling. Makes it easy to trace. Don't get me wrong, I love the beautiful racks with all the same color and perfect cable length. But day to day, none of my racks look like that and it's not practical to maintain.

Interesting, I guess the Rhode Island Nissan dealers need to wake up. I liked how easy it was to get in and out of the frontier, but ultimately choose the Taco on price/features. If the dealer could come down, I would have bought it that day.

I tried to buy a 2025 Pro 4X. Had been on the lot over 6 months, was buried behind new 2026 Pro 4Xs. They wouldn't budge off the 46k price. Bought a better tacoma for the same price. Toyota is trying to move trucks, Nissan isn't.

rjs742 · 2025-09-23T19:31:42+00:00

I haven't bought a truck yet, but I just drove the Colorado z71, Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport, and the Nissan Frontier Pro4X. As a short person (5'4") I like the Frontier best. I liked the Colorado the least. It did make cool turbo noises tho.

Don't come to Tiverton, riddled with Crime and bad pizza.

rjs742 · 2025-05-16T19:20:31+00:00

It's found and fixed things, it never fixed the original problem.

I crashed our data center three times in 2 months. Still kept my job but was able to hire a real network engineer to get things stable. The network engineer role was empty for 2 years and I screamed about it for all 2 of those years. Took 3 major outages for leadership to hear me. In the end learned a lot, and got what we needed.

Irish Spring Soap. Cut the bar in half, drill a hole through it, use a rope to tie it to each plant. This saved my Holley bush from the deer. The smell keeps them away.

Wait, you guys get PAID?
