I have had experience with both and to stay positive I will only say their business service is excellent, I would highly recommend to always order from the business side such as the Latitude and Optiplex systems.

The problem was never resolved, I found a work around but that's what we as techs do. I as a personal user do not believe in buying from Dell because personal service is definitely second class compared to corporate service which I think is excellent.
