What is our primary use case?
In my organization, most people work with Dell Business Laptops. I saw some HPs there and sometimes, earlier we had used some ASUS ones. Now, it is most of the time Dell and HP and MacBooks. As I remember, we are around 50 people, so I would say around 30 will use Dell Business Laptops.
I am a developer and I use a lot of software here. Battery-consuming software is common in my work. In that case, I always work with the laptops around 10 to 12 hours per day. Most of the time the battery is plugged in. But sometimes, as I heard, it needs to switch off the charger at times. I do that for the battery life. In that case, I can manage with my laptop for two and a half hours with full functioning features. So I can manage around two and a half hours without charging.
What is most valuable?
Dell Business Laptops have excellent features that I appreciate from the two models I have used, both from the Inspiron line. One is the Inspiron 7573, which was a two-in-one foldable model. The other one is the Inspiron 15, the current one, the Inspiron 15 3530. I appreciate the first one because we can fold and use it as a tablet as well. Performance-wise, both have about 16GB RAM. Performance is the key thing for me because I am a software engineer, so the performance needs to be there.
In addition to that, both Dell Business Laptops are touch-enabled. In that case, we are building some UWP applications as well, so that helps me to work on that.
The AI-enhanced performance features in my Dell Business Laptops have influenced my productivity levels, particularly with the boot time. In the current one, it boots really fast. That is the main thing. If I sleep it, then it resumes working in very few seconds. That is one of the key things I appreciate about using my laptop. Also, with the enabled new Microsoft 365 Copilot, that helps me.
The dependability of Dell Business Laptops, with daily use and daily wear and tear, shows they are durable. I am using it daily and it has enhanced the battery life as well. In old days, I think around two years of time, you have to replace the battery sometimes. But now, with the new versions, the feature has been enhanced as I remember. That automatically enabled when it is plugged in and is discharged automatically without charging the battery.
What needs improvement?
In terms of areas that may have room for improvement in Dell Business Laptops, what comes to mind is the camera noise reduction. I feel this at the moment. Noise reduction of the camera is something I would improve. Sometimes when it comes to one and a half years or two years, the hard drive is running very fast. Windows updates are refilling our drives. That is something I am facing now. We have to remove the unnecessary files manually and that is a concern. That is the thing I am facing at the moment.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Dell Business Laptops for almost around 13 to 14 years in my career now. As a first laptop I used, it was a different brand for around three years. Now, around 10 years, I am using Dell Business Laptops.

How are customer service and support?
Regarding the ProSupport service for my Dell Business Laptops, I have not had that kind of experience because if there is any issue, we give it to our IT department, so they handle those things. I am not directly involved in that case.
I am not involved with support for Dell Business Laptops because I have not had that kind of scenario. The last laptop I had an issue with the battery. Then I asked my team to replace that and they asked one of our service providers to replace it. I think it took around four to five hours.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
The other laptops or products I had used previously include two Dell Business Laptops at the moment. One is the Inspiron 7573, which is a two-in-one model. The current one is the Inspiron 15 3530.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment or implementation of Dell Business Laptops is easy. There is nothing changed with that. It depends on the OS most of the time. So if you are running on Windows, most of the times it is similar to most other laptops because I have set that up on one of the ASUS laptops. The same thing happens. So I do not feel it is different between the platform and device-wise.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
When I compare Dell Business Laptops with other vendors such as Lenovo, HP, and Apple, I have an HP personal laptop that is also a business laptop. Now, it was in the early days. Now I do not have that one and I have a Dell Business Laptops as well, another one. In that case, HP is always a little bit heating up. That is the issue that we had. It is a known thing that if you are going to HP, it heats up. Now they have, nowadays, with the new laptops, overcome that, but it still feels that way. But I feel sometimes you have to move to Lenovo because performance-wise, they have some top-edge ones there. Dell also have the same things, but price-wise, Lenovo is a little bit cheaper, I would say.
What other advice do I have?
Dell Business Laptops were purchased as a direct purchase from the US market from our company. Then they shipped it to us. So that is how it worked.
Dell Business Laptops do not allow easy management by IT staff because there is nothing set up by the IT staff. We have to set it up by ourselves. It is already the inbuilt OS that comes. So that is the only thing that we have. The other software, we have to manage by ourselves.
I am utilizing security features such as the TPM chips or the BIOS-level protections in my Dell Business Laptops. I use them.
The security posture of my Dell Business Laptops has improved significantly because I am not using anything else at the moment. So it always protects me and the firewalls are always active there. In that case, there are no outcome features. I have not had to install third-party software to protect my laptop. So I have not faced any malware functioning at the moment for the last 12 years.
My view on the ease of procurement for Dell Business Laptops in comparison with other brands is that when it comes to Dell, because I have recently used only Dell Business Laptops. We just went to purchase a new laptop for my wife and eventually I chose a Dell Business Laptops. That is the brand that I appreciate at the moment.
I would recommend Dell Business Laptops to others looking into them. Because it is around your budget, if the features are there, it is better to buy the branded ones such as Dell Business Laptops.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
