Every time that I try to get a review for a Vostro laptop I get comments that don't say anything but "Vostro is bad Lattitude is good"

Why? Can someone please explain that to me?

I'm a student and I don't have enough money to spend on Lattitude, the Vostro is in my price range and I really need a new computer.

I have enjoyed the Dell Vostro during my last year in University, and I am wondering why many people do not recommend them?

Basically just the title. I’m looking at buying the Vostro 14. I don’t plan on doing anything too crazy, mostly just photo and video editing and the Vostro looked like it would be a good entry level laptop for that. Before I buy it though I was wondering if anyone here has/has had the laptop and whether or not it will last for ~3-4 years without any major issues.

I have an old, slim Dell Inspiron desktop PC that is getting old.

The new Inspiron Dell desktop is much thicker.

Considering buying their Vostro Small Form Desktop: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/desktops-all-in-one-pcs/vostro-3681-small-desktop/spd/vostro-3681-desktop

It has Windows 10 Pro OS.

Is there any downside in buying this type of PC for personal use (kids gaming including Roblox, Sims, Minecraft, videos, movies, Netflix, etc.)?

Assuming a higher price is not an issue.

In other words, am I losing anything by purchasing this PC made for small businesses if I plan to use it for the typical home tasks?

Part of my role is the procurement of laptops for my organisation. Recently as part of a refresh I purchased 10 Dell Vostro laptops. The last time we did a refresh (or "mass" roll out) was in the few weeks before the COVID lockdown in the UK. The only laptops we could get our hands on for the sales team were Vostros, and in the 4/5 years since I've had no issues with them. They've been great. So naturally we replace like for like.

Worst decision ever really. Out of the 10, 8 are in circulation. 3 of the laptops has never come back to me with an issue. The other 5 all come back with the same silly issue of the laptop not waking up after being locked/going to sleep. The instructions issued by Dell to do a reset on these machines don't work either. It's happened where I will have a number of laptops on my desk where I have to take the cover off of them to pull the battery. But it's an intermittent problem too. These laptops can go for weeks without a problem, then a laptop could come back to me 3 times in a day. Complained to Dell who send an engineer to fix one of the laptops which was just the replacement of the motherboard. That was months ago, now I'm battling Dell to try and get them to fix the others but that's another story.

Now though I have my MD asking for a new laptop for him and a few others, and I am loathe to purchase Dell again based on the aftercare. But who else to use? I've not heard of anything good from HP for a long time. It can't just be Lenovo as Dell's only competitor surely?
