I always felt like a lot of these computer sub brand names were rather confusing. Inspiron? Presario? Precision? XPS? ProBook? EliteBook? zBook? Envy? What are the real cross comparisons here?

Personally, I'm OK with these computer manufacturers cleaning up their product line.

It also doesn't change the fact that within each product line there is going to be a billion different configuration options anyway.
Yeah, that's my next hope that they generally reduce the total SKU counts. It can be challenging to find exact replacement parts when there's a dozen different varieties for say a "Latitude 5450" or whatever.
It's a shame they went with Apple because their server naming is so good. It's super easy to compare across models and it feels very Dell.
