    When Purchasing a Dell Latitude E4300.. Do I have to have a company in order to make a purchase for the Latitude E4300? I'm just buying it as a personal computer.. not a business.

    Nope, you can just order for personal use.

    Customer service and support. It's infinitely better on the business side.

    The Dell business line notebooks are usually built with a magnesium alloy chassis which helps make it more resistive to the bumps and bruises one can expect from a road warrior. As mentioned, customer support is also better.

    for company name, use you own name or the name on the cc, if you're using a cc for your purchase.
