They are pretty much indifferent, other than the basic performance stuff that
any benchmark highlighting CPU performance will show you.[1]

Their warranty support was a PITA when I had to deal with them. If that
matters to you, another vendor might be a better choice ... but the only
vendors I have dealt with who didn't suck were IBM (ThinkPad, and Lenovo have
been much more ... mixed), and Apple.
Other folks I know say Dell service was good, though my experience wasn't.
