Dell is a company where you can go to their website and almost always find something on sale that will fit your needs. They are not the most reliable, but they are also one of the cheapest. They have good support, but not excellent. I am convinced that a smart Dell purchase will save most companies money in the long run.
Where I work, we are a Dell shop. However for us, if a desktop dies, it doesn't matter. It takes us 2 hours (at most) to get a user back up and running as though nothing happened. If we have a spare PC sitting around, that time is more like 15 minutes. I am assuming you won't have the same ability, so you might give more weight to something like Lenovo, whose laptops are considered a pretty good value in the business space.
Either way, get the warranty, run a couple backup solutions (have a working system image on HDD + cloud based is likely best) and don't over spend. The specs you require are likely easily obtainable with a processor that is a 2-3 generations behind.
