A new wave of AI laptops from top brands like Dell, Lenovo, and Asus just hit the market. With a hefty price tag, are they really worth it?
Ask Kim: 'Can you help me choose a new PC and printer?'

Every week, Kim is asked tech-related questions. Which organizers are best for home offices? What apps are the safest for kids to use? What are brands worth the cost?
Kim recently received one question that stood out. Marion from Tennessee explained she helps run two small companies. They want to upgrade two desktop computers and a printer since they have been very slow. She’d like to know what fast computers and printers Kim recommends.
Kim has always stood by her trusted sponsors, Dell and Epson.
For fast computers, trust Dell
One of the best computers any office could use is from Dell, the XPS. This computer comes with a 12th-generation Intel Core processor, runs Windows 11, and includes 16GB of memory and a 1-year warranty.
The Dell XPS is ideal for small businesses because it is compact, runs quickly and smoothly, is optimized for easy upgrades and offers wireless speeds nearly three times as fast as the previous generation. It is also designed to regulate cooling and stay quiet and comes with essential accessories like a mouse and keyboard.
Trust Epson’s speedy business printers
For a good business printer, go with the EcoTank Pro ET-5150 from our sponsor, Epson. This model can be found under the EcoTank Pro Business option. It is a 3-in-1 Supertank that offers fast wireless printing, copying and scanning.
Get professional-quality color prints and enjoy up to 17 black/9.5 color ISO ppm print speeds. You can also replace ink with affordable bottles instead of pricy cartridges to save up to 80% on ink costs alone.
The EcoTank Pro ET-5150 comes with a 2-year limited warranty with registration, and the PrecisionCore® permanent printhead is designed to last the entire life of the printer.
Here at Komando.com, we work in a fast-paced environment. We trust Dell computers and EcoTank Pro printers to do the job quickly and efficiently. If they’re good enough for Kim’s team, they’re good enough for your business, too.
3 smoking computer and server deals from Dell's Semi-Annual Sale
Here at the Komando HQ, we use the best computers for business. In other words, we use Dell setups. If you’re a fan who wants a similar setup to our resident pros, you’re in luck.
Right now, our sponsor Dell is throwing its semi-annual sale, which slashes prices on some of its best computers. You can even snatch up to 45% off the desktop we use around the office. We searched the sale and pulled out three of the best deals you can get for a limited time.
6.7%
PC shipments jumped 6.7% last quarter as people rushed to replace old Windows 10 laptops before support ends and tariffs yeet prices into the stratosphere. Brands like Lenovo, HP and Dell are trying to move inventory fast, before things get messy.
