I can't really fault that logic. I like the keyboard, the screen, any many other things with them. It's just some minor annoyances with some of the Fn keycombos that I don't like.

But one thing that I can say for sure: It will never be as durable as my Toshiba. It fell between two ships decks. It slid off the roof of a car and syraight into asphalt. It has pieces missing from it. The RJ45 port has been torn out of the mainboard. But it still works, and I bought it out for 50$ when I left my previous employer, and I still use it from time to time to this day.

I'll piggyback on this one. I'm personally more partial to Lenovo if money and lead time isn't an issue, but Dell Latitude is the budget business brand. On site repair support is roughly the same, they contract 3rd parties in whatever area you are in to do onsite repair.

I can reliably get Latitude 5500 series laptops with i5, 16gb, 256gb, and fingerprint reader for less than $1000 shipped, and that includes a 5 year on-site accidental included warranty with keep your drive. You drove over your laptop? Ok, here's a loaner, let me try to pull the storage, and try not to do it again.

Sorry, but no, they're shit.

And for the price they still them at, they're double shit.

The Dell Latitude I got from work is really the worst laptop I've ever used. Do not buy.

Actually, I thought dells were shit computers, then I started working at a place that only deals in Dell. I'm actually pretty impressed after having used a 5300. It's been a pretty solid choice except for the battery.

I work help desk, and I'm actually surprised we don't get more issue tickets considering it's a global company.
