Dell is still our favorite systems manufacturer. Reliable hardware, good warranties, and tech friendly practices make them our go to supplier when recommending servers or standardized systems for most business environments.
Lenovo can often compete with Dell in terms of standardized workstations and laptops for business. It is always good to shop around when it comes to hardware.
HP sttll has some of the best home printers and all-in one devices in the market. They often have good deals on workstations and laptops as well.
TigerDirect is another leading outlet for components and accessories. A solid reputation and competitive prices have made them one of our stand by suppliers.
Here you can often find great deals on printers, laptops, and other accessories. Again, it never hurts to shop around.
The Surface Pro 3 has been a great tool for us and the Surface Pro 4 looks even better. Of course you can always opt for a Surface Book instead or maybe just a new XBox.
