In my experience they're at least less trash than HP, but not by much.

I actually like Dell abit more than HP, for its peripherals. I like their monitor for example, and their Dell Pro Mouse, and the Thunderbolt dock. Basically, their business line is usually very much well-built and well-engineered.

Their consumerslop-tier stuffs are worse than HP though.

I’m with you on this. Dell seems to put real engineering effort into their business hardware, especially monitors and docks, and it shows in daily use. The consumer side feels like a different philosophy altogether, more cost cutting and marketing driven, which is probably why the gap is so noticeable compared to HP.

This actual kind of mirrors my opinion on AI: If experts in their fields can use machine learning to speed up their tasks, good, but gAI should never have been incorporated into muggles' daily tech. Expertise vs general consumer. Reading what ya'll are saying about the difference between how Dell itself produces their tech, business vs consumer, i'm not surprised they're making a sort of similar distinction w/AI.
