Hmmm, why is my company not using Lenovo? We use Dell instead, because they gave better discount than other brands. I work for the same company for nearly 20 years, and my company is among the biggest electronics company in the U.S. I never encounter any major issue with Dell, and I always have roughly 8 PC's registeres under my name. For nearly 20 years, and I never have any PC die on me either. We replaced it once in a while to keep up with new technologies, and we donated used PC's to school....
I'm going to try not to be rude, but you might want to show this to your boss:
Avrage lifetime: (laptops)
HP - 6 months (0,5 years)*
Packard bell - 18 months (1,5 years)
Acer - 24 months (2 years)*
Samsung - 24 months (2 years)**
Dell - 30-36 months (2,5-3 years)
Mac(Apple) - 42-48 months (3,5-4 years)
Lenovo(IBM) - 60 months
(5 years)***
(For desktops you can usualy add 2-3 years to all of them)
*Buisness models have 36 months lifetime
**Hasn't been around long enought to give accurate lifetime just yet.
***Only goes for "Think"-series
Now, only a sucker pics anything else than Lenovo. Or to explain it in cars - you don't buy a Peugeot(Dell) for Volvo/VW (Lenovo) money. It's all about
not going for the exciting 100 buttons on the dashboard, and do the sencible long therm choise instead.
You've got to look at all decisions for "normal" people at a financial point of view.
We nerds think; "oh, awsome the benchmarks are insane!"
Normal people think; "how much time and money in long term?". I belive that's why most people in here(including you) recomend G530/G640.

Last time I worked with them the company ordered 80 new dell systems with the i3 chip in it and 20 of them the motherboard broke down with in the first month.
Dell send us new mobos now they are all good.
Dell was excellent 10 years ago, sadly they are no longer competitive price/quality wise.
Their service is quite good though

Yeah, and all I'm saying is that maby nerds/enthusiast should take those bullets. - And when the first bullets have been taken we start recomending it.
