By: Jonathan Kersten Instructional Designer for Global Commercial Sales Training I bring new products home from work all the time. One of the perks of my job is to test out demo units while I’m creating product training. My wife will usually make some monosyllabic sound (“hmm”) and otherwise pay no attention to it…you know that whole adage of seeing one is seeing them all? But when I took the XPS 13 out of my bag, I got an unusual response. Her eyes perked up...

By Darren M. Designer on CSMB Sales Training Team Confession: I am a gaming addict. Whether it’s Call of Duty 3 on my PC, Guitar Hero on the Wii, or just Angry Birds on my smart phone...if I’m not working, I’m probably playing a game. Recently I’ve been traveling a bit more than usual, so I decided to bite the bullet, and buy laptop powerful enough to take my favourite games along. I had been keeping an eye on Alienware™ for a long time, and was really...

By: Liam P. Byrne An Instructional Designer for the CSMB Sales Training and Development team Hi everyone, Liam here, and I have been working at Dell well forever. I always get asked by friends and family about new Dell products. They want to know what’s the best system to buy, which will get me onto the internet quickest and they want a system that does everything for me so which one should they buy! Currently the system I am recommending to everyone is the Dell XPS 14z. It’s...

by Otis Lee, An Instructional Designer on the Global CSMB Sales Training and Development Team I have a personal laptop that’s great. It satisfies most of my needs, except for one; it doesn’t have a shrinking feature for when I’m on a flight or sitting in coffee shop at a small round table. In places like these, I want a system that’s smaller and takes up less space. Don’t get me wrong, my 15” laptop is extremely useful but it’s heavy and I don’t...

By Jonathan Kersten, an instructional designer for our CSMB Sales Training and Development Team In my last blog, I told you how my brother asked me to help him pick out a new laptop. Easy enough, right? I make a recommendation based on how the features of each laptop match to my brother’s usage. I told him which laptop I would buy and why, and he went off and did some of his own research. I talked to my brother recently and found out the verdict. In the end he decided on the XPS...

By Jonathan Kersten, an instructional designer with the Global CSMB Sales Training and Development team I am the tech guru to my technologically-challenged family members. They ask me questions about computers and other electronic devices all the time. For example, my brother called me the other day to ask which laptop he should buy. Apparently he had been online for hours looking at systems and specs but still didn’t really have a clue. “Sure, no problem,” I say. “I’m...

By: Jan Lindborg, Global Training Mangager I’m a prolific game player and have been since the 1980’s, always on computers, rarely on consoles. From my first computer, the Sinclair ZX81 (Catacombs anyone?) through to my latest, an ALIENWARE ALX I’ve usually found myself looking for the BEST experience. Usually, I get to the point where a new and wonderful game comes out and I have to think about upgrading. I’ve had my ALX for about 6 months now and just got my copy of...

Written by: Holly Waldren Instructional Designer for the CSMB Sales Training and Development team A sad fact about myself: I never win contests. I’ve never won a lottery, big or small. Never won concert tickets, a new car, or even a pecan pie. (I hate pecan pie, but still entered a drawing for one once.) I’m just not lucky that way. So imagine my excitement when – for the 1 st time in my life – I won a drawing at work. And it wasn’t for some water bottle...
