I have a old dell vostro from their business line, it is now maybe 6-7 years old. I dropped it many times, use it in a garage and don't care about it. It still works well. Therefore, I agree that the dell business line is really great.

Also, I could not imagine our business having spare computers.We have 600 employees maybe now, and we need more and more computers as more users need to perform work on a computer these days.

You only need a fractional reserve of spare computers, not one for each computer in use; it's as if you had a few more employees who don't actually use their computers

How many of your about 600 PCs die every year? The spares you need are much less than that number, as you can buy (or recover from repair hell) new computers over the course of a few days to recover your reserves.
