One of the first questions we get asked when someone is looking to buy a new computer is what brand they should choose. Most people prefer Dell, HP, or Lenovo, and we are partial to Dell.
The reason we go with Dell is that they offer one of the best warranties available in the commercial space and have reasonably priced business-class computers with a wide variety of internal components to choose from. Understanding which computer you should buy really depends on what you are using it for.
Dell’s New Product Line: Base, Pro, and Pro Max
In 2025, Dell decided to simplify its product line and align more closely with how Apple organizes its products. Dell now offers Base, Pro, and Pro Max computer models:
- Base Dell computers are intended for the everyday office workers who may not need a tremendous amount of computing resources but still want something reliable and business class to ensure a long usable lifetime.
- Pro Dell computers are intended for users who work with more demanding tasks such as light AutoCAD, video editing, or large spreadsheets. The Pro line is also a great fit for executives.
- Pro Max computers are built for heavy computing tasks, such as 3D modeling, advanced AutoCAD, 4K video editing, and other resource-intensive work.
How We Help You Find the Right Computer
We help our clients choose the right computer based on what they intend to do with it. To properly answer, “What computer should you get?” we take the time to have a conversation and do a little fact-finding.
Whatever you decide, we recommend purchasing the three-year next business day warranty. For laptops, we also suggest getting accidental damage coverage.
