Lenovo or Dell?

Question

which one is better?

Answer 1

Lenovo ThinkPads and ThinkCenters are what used to be IBM.


The 3000 series is less business, more consumer orientated. (cheaper, lower function)


I would take a Lenovo over a Dell any day.

Answer 2

If you want one of those two, i've never heard of Lenovo, so based on that I'd say Dell. BUT my real answer is HP over a Dell, and here's why:

1. Dell's are not cheap, whoever said that is wrong. You can go to both Dell's website and HP's site and customize computers (I did this yesterday as i am looking into a new one). I chose the top laptop and selected virtually identical upgrades/options and the Dell was almost $1000 more expensive.

2. I've had a Dell for 4 years, and If i didnt buy the 3 yr. full service plan, I'd be screwed a long time ago. So far I'm on my third Hard Drive after two died. I'm on my 5th Install of Windows XP Pro. I'm on my third AC power supply after two died.... get the point?

3. I'm not impressed by Dell's support reps i've had to deal with. Half the time i know what is wrong before they do, and they try to convince me that the problem is something else that i know is not... and they don't listen to me when i tell them ive already checked the basic problems. I'm pretty sure the people i've talked to read off a screen and don't truly understand computers (no offense to those reps who do)

4. Everyone i know with a HP doesn't complain anywhere near as much as fellow Dell owners....

So, Dell's are decent machines when they are working... If you must buy a Dell, pay for the best service plan and protection you can get because you WILL have problems at some point, just pray they happen while still under warranty!
BACK UP FILES OFTEN with Dell machines (i learned the hard way)

Answer 3

Lenovo is a little bit more expencive because shoots towards the business end.
If you have the extra cash go with lenovo.
Lenovo is basically better quality. The parts are better.
But what good is that when in 6 months its gonna become obsolete anyway huh?
if your not a techy person and plan on keeping it for years get IBM(lenovo) if you are after technology get a dell save money

Answer 4

Generally, I see that Dell has a low entry price. To get comparable features and performance, then the cost is in line.

Actually, I've been using Toshiba laptops and am generally quite pleased. They're reasonably well designed and performance is good.

Guidelines, consider 1 GB of memory and a disk that spins at 5,400 RPM, not less. Memory, followed by disk performance are the most important considerations for good performance, sometimes, even more so than the processor.

For business applications I would say Lenovo. For all around quality at a good value I would go with Dell.

Lenovo is better. They bought the Thinkpad line and name from IBM. Dells are plasticrap.

Answer 7

Dell

Answer 8

never heard of lenovo. dells are cheap but you get what you pay for. they will break down before 2 years or so...

Answer 9

I go by best price per amount of computing power when I buy a pc. Most of the parts on the inside of one brand are the same as the inside of another brand. I've had many different brands and they all worked just fine.
