Same here – non-profit, all Dell. We also decided to stick with Dell to stay standardized. I looked around last year and didn’t see a big enough price savings to make me want to move away from Dell. We did find that we could get better pricing on Dell from one of our vendors (Zones) so we have been purchasing Dell desktops through them for the last several months.

We're about the same as you, NP on State Dell contract. Honestly we asked ourselves this question about 2 yrs ago and we decided that it would cause way more stress on the support staff and cost more in the long run to not be standardized. YMMV John W. Cook Systems Administrator Partnership for Strong Families From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 12:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Subject: Favorite corporate PCs? We purchase a number of PCs each month as part of a rotation cycle. I've been a Dell customer for years, but lately don't think Dell has been offering the best price we can get (we are non-profit and state/GSA, although non-profit pricing is usually better). So I'm looking around. For desktops I'm not too picky as long as specs are similar. HP? Lenovo? Big Lots?
