We buy compatible toner for our HP printers - it's less than half the OEM
price, and works just fine. The vendor I like dealing with is
tonerprice.com. We got a pallet of toner a few years ago; six or so months
later, I needed toner for my cute l'il Laserjet at home... and got the
*same* service, in terms of price and response time.

consumer-grade laptops, only business-grade. Even buying one used online,
they'll last longer than any crap consumer grade.

We have a lot of Dell Latitudes here at work.
