What Made You Feel Good Today

[.Stripes.]

 

 

Considering this thing is more powerful than my current Desktop PC at home, I'm pretty stoked it's as small as it is - will make site visits a whole lot nicer.

Can I ask... as a PC unsavvy wench.... why do companies always use dell.

 

we have dell PCs at work and they’re chit 

like actual chit. 

I didn’t think dell made good computers coz of the impression I’ve got from our work computers over the last ten years. 

 

Or are my company just being tight arses? 

[.Stripes.]

Probably procurement agreements. My old company used nothing but Lenovo computers.

 

I think all computer companies can make good and bad PC's. If your company bought chit, low end models way back when and then they've been abused by lots of tech unsavy people, then chances are they're going to run like balls regardless.

 

My old laptop was a Dell, and it blue-screened on me several times on me during a training course this week (not the most professional look...), but this was more than likely a piece of software or a driver causing the issue, not the computer itself.

 

Had a Dell XPS laptop at home for years and had a couple of issues early on but they replaced parts and it's been rock solid ever since.

most corporate companies have contracts with dell (defence inclusive) and they are not bad, the issue is the outright cost to a business and the contract in question with keeping them updated so most of the time the PC's are old and very very outdated so your last statement answers that question

[Mrs Jeturbo]

Mines brand new.... its chit.... LEL.

 

I think they just under spec them... or maybe I just expect too much. 

[MBAF]

Specs and model? 

 

My my guess is the wrong setup for what you may be utilising it for? Doesn’t surprise me when it comes to corporate though

[Mrs Jeturbo]

I use a lot of programs which people wouldn’t be aware of which are industry specific.

 

To be fair everyone else probably does the basics and it works fine. 

I set up double monitors and use about a billion things at once etc so I probably find it inadequate compared to what I have at home with my own set up.

[MBAF]

Yep and prob lacking hardware specs to run said billion programs. 

 

They are usually short on ram, so that would make things worse if using heavy applications

My two lads. Jr 2.0 was 7 weeks early and now 4 months and becoming a little budda. First nice photo I have of the big bro holding the little bro.[emoji8]

[Puffwagon]

That little boy looks very content and look at those chubby cheeks!

 

You kinda breathe a sigh of relief when they start packing the rolls on.
