We are upgrading all the pc's here at work. It will be a mixture of desktops and laptops (w/docking station). The price we were quoted from our IT department was for compaq's. we checked online, just for the heck of it, at dells website and priced out a laptop with much better specs. (850 P3 instead of P3 700, 256RAM instead of 128, etc.). To our surprise the Dell's were actually cheaper than the compaq's. One of the "higher-ups" wants us to get any reviews pertaining to compaqs/dells and get it to him ASAP. Even stuff comparing each company's tech support will be considered. I am getting ready to check the main sites like pcworld and such.
Anybody have any handy links or other helpful info?
I appreciate any info you give me. Opinions aren't really helpful to the people we have to turn this stuff in to.
LAstly, I know there are some people out there who may like Compaqs. We currently have them here at work and I personally do not like them. Nothing but trouble. The Dells (if we get them) may do the same but at least we will have better tech supp than compaq. So I am not trying to bash compaqs!

Is getting one of each a possibility, for testing purposes ? If you are buying in bulk, I would consider calling Dell at the very least. You can get a better deal if you get a larger number.

I have seen Dell's used extensively and they work fairly well. Make sure you give IBM a chance also. We have 1000's of them at my College and they are fairly resiliant. IBM has really made their notebook pricing attractive in the last year. IBM/Dell/Compaq/Toshiba/HP are all really close to one another now.

Tough one...
I work with Compaq's at work also and I personally hate them!!
But I've never worked with the Dell's in a work enviroment so
I dont know anything about their performance.. Compaq laptops
suck.. We have over half of ours returned within 6 months only
to get another one that's even worse.. We come up with a rule
with our Compaq laptops--> "if you can live with a minor glitch,
then take it.. because you never know what else they will send you"
