Dell Vs HP

!±8± Dell Vs HP

This is a question I struggle with whenever a customer asks me for a recommendation on what PC to use in their environment. The answer is never a clear cut decision until a few questions are asked to clear up concerns on 4 things; pricing, availability, reliability, and customer service. It is a difficult thing to explain, and have someone understand, that all 4 of those concerns are singular and completely interconnected at the same time.

Here is what I have found in my experiences.

When it comes to price, Dell generally costs less. They buy strategically different than HP, and they build their machines differently than HP. For one, Dell, with few exceptions, custom builds all of their machines. They have the orders in hand and are 90% guaranteed their money before a machine ever ships, especially on the lucrative consumer side where margins are especially healthy. HP on the other hand pre-builds a lot of their units and must count on smart, intuitive marketing to make their money back. This also means HP has additional costs that Dell does not have to endure such as massive inventory.

On the flip side this puts availability squarely in favor of HP's corner. Most HP models can be ordered today and delivered tomorrow whereas Dell has a standard 7-10 day build time. Heaven help us if a part for the build is not available, then the lead time is pushed out to who knows when. Dell does not offer absolutes on their deliveries, only estimates. If you have a project where you absolutely need machines to be at a certain location by a certain date, HP is a better bet than Dell.

Dell also tends not to standardize the parts inside all of their machines. This means that if you take 100 Dell Optiplex 960's (or any other model) with the same configuration, open them up, you will find that the 1gb RAM stick in each might be from different manufacturers, the power supply in each may be from different manufacturers, the hard drives, etc, same thing.

HP does standardize the parts within a series or model. Take 100 NV516UT and you will find consistency and uniformity throughout the build. The RAM will be the same, the hard drives, the DVD-RW, the power supply, etc. HP also has a larger depth and breadth to their portfolio of HP branded products so if you need to equip your office with and HP desktop, attached to an HP switch, connected to an HP server, hooked into HP storage...No Problem! If you need the printer, the keyboard, the mouse, the scanner, the fax, the UPS, the external HD, etc, HP can do all of that.

This is important depending upon what level of standardization you are looking for in a machine for your environment. If it is not important or moderately important, the Dell will just fine. If it is very or extremely important, the HP is a better bet. Why? The answer is that each manufacturer of the various components in a machine, will QC to different standards. A stick of RAM from Kingston will undergo different testing than a stick from Edge, or Axiom, or Crucial. A hard drive from Seagate will be different from the same form, fit function drive from Axiom, Fujitsu, Fantom Drives, Western Digital, etc.

When it comes to customer service, this is a lot like the reliability question...it is a matter of taste. Both companies have their strengths and weaknesses. Dell gives an excellent up front warranty with their builds and the ease of deploying that warranty is amazing. If you have the service tag (serial number) for the machine and you are the authorized buyer, Dell can help with just about any problem affecting that machine. HP has a mediocre warranty up front but additional levels of support are fairly inexpensive to add on. Calling 1-800-HP-INVENT can sometimes be trying but generally runs fairly smooth. Where HP really excels is in their onsite support, especially for server and storage products.

So at the end of the day, there is no real winner and my struggles continue. I just need to listen to what is important to you and then decide if Dell or HP will best meet your needs. Maybe I will decide that Lenovo or Acer will be a better fit than either. What my customers are certain of, is that the IT Info Guy will find a suitable solution for them.

Multifunctional A3 Printers

!±8± Multifunctional A3 Printers

Multifunctional A3 printers come equipped with various means and ways. Some come equipped with all the bells and whistles you could ever need, whilst making some small sacrifices here and there. Others come equipped with a small handful of items, which may be tailored to specific niche offices. Here is a list of options to consider in a multifunctional printer:

USB/Flashcard Drives - if you have a USB stick, its nice to know that you can plug it directly into your printer to print directly from a user interface such as a 4.2 LCD screen. This is especially important for photography studios. A person can take photos on their digital camera, come back and place the memory card into the printer. Then they can select whether they wish to print in a4 or A3 style. Some printers print better in both A3 and a4, and some only function well in a certain area. This is where testing and researching is important.

Scanner - if you wish to have a multifunctional printer that can scan, then this feature comes with most mid to high range A3 printers. You want to make sure that the print quality is good from the scan, so make sure you do your homework regarding print quality on all forms of paper.

Fax Machine - if you are a busy office or you are limited with space, then going for something that has a fax machine can be handy for your office. To have everything located in one machine in a corner could be more useful to you than having multiple items scattered throughout your department. This is particularly useful for a home based business.

Copier - as with the scanner, you want to make sure that with monochrome and colour copies that they are of a high standard. You want to make sure that they print both in A3 and a4 sizes with correct resolution, no lines and in top quality. There is no point in buying a copier that is multifunctional if it doesn't perform a variety of services at a high standard.

WIFI and or Network Capability - when you run a busy office, you don't want to necessarily have a mess of cables running everywhere. When you have WIFI connections, you can print directly from the computer to the printer via the internet. Networking your computers at your office saves time in transition therefore making work life more efficient. You will find this feature on the more high end A3 printers, so again, depending on what you need, this may be an option for you.

These are just a few basic points to note when buying a multifunctional A3 printer.
