Dell seems very much targeted on big accounts. When I was in fedgov we had to write-up excuses NOT to buy a Dell. But Dell offered a good array of different configurations and our geek department was familiar with them. I bought several killer workstations for GIS and image processing. Had to prove I needed Panasonic Toughbooks for field work.

Iirc Lenovo used to be IBM. For me, that’s a psychological plus. Dunno if it means anything 30-odd years later. People online like Lenovo price/performance.
