Which UK business laptop should we standardise on — Dell, Lenovo or Apple?

It usually comes down to MDM and existing stack. Microsoft / Entra ID / Intune shops typically standardise on Dell Pro or Lenovo ThinkPad. Apple Business Manager / Jamf shops standardise on MacBook. Many mixed estates run two stacks (Dell or Lenovo for office Windows users + MacBook for designers / dev / leadership). Servnet quotes all three at vendor-direct pricing — talk to us about your fleet shape.

How fast can you ship a fleet order?

Most Dell Pro / ThinkPad / MacBook configurations ship from UK distribution within 5-10 working days. Build-to-order configurations (specific RAM / storage / colour) typically 10-15 working days. Larger orders (200+ units) we coordinate phased delivery to match rollout waves.

Do you offer fleet imaging + MDM enrolment?

Yes — Dell ImageAssist, Lenovo ImageController, Apple Business Manager with Jamf or Intune for Mac. Devices arrive pre-imaged + zero-touch-enrolled into your MDM tenant. Pair with our endpoint security service for full lifecycle management.

What about extended warranty / ProSupport / AppleCare for Business?

All three vendors offer comparable Tier 3 enterprise support. Dell ProSupport Plus, Lenovo Premier Support, AppleCare+ for Business — we quote with the support tier appropriate to the device class (e.g. ProSupport for mainstream, ProSupport Plus + accidental damage for executive / mobile workstations).

Do you do trade-in for old laptops?

Yes — we run a WEEE-compliant trade-in + secure data-wipe (NIST 800-88 / NCSC) for fleet refreshes. Credit applied against the new fleet order or paid out separately depending on volume.

Can you supply via CCS frameworks for UK public sector?

Yes — Crown Commercial Service Technology Products & Associated Services frameworks apply across UK public sector. We also engage via Sell2Wales / Scottish Procurement / GPS NI for nation-specific routes. See our UK locations for regional context.
