Reply to comment by josephseeed in Dell’s Latitude 7330 convinced me that business laptops are too expensive by dapperlemon

Yes you could, and if you now buy that laptop for every one of your colleagues lets see how the costs will soar. These devices are consumer devices. They are built to be cheap not to be durable and last. IT will have so much shit in supporting these devices. Hell I’ve even thrown out the Microsoft Surface line because the amount of issues we had with those was 10 times of what we had with the other laptops we had. Stop comparing business laptops with consumer grade devices…

I’m aware of the realities of corporate procurement. It’s actually not really about the durability. It’s about the fact that Dell can provide laptops for a 10,000+ person organization and the fact that they will provide five year warranty. I know why things are done the way It does not make me hate my Dell latitude any less.
