Today I am going to BestBuy and I am checking three laptops with touch screens in the range $750-$950. Found three Lenovo, HP Envy and Dell Inspiron. Dell Inspiron was the worst from the bunch - clunky with lots of plastics which felt like are about to get loose and was the most expensive from the three. Not good, folks, not good..

Hey I’ll admit as a former employee, I wish my current employer offered Dell laptops.
I do miss my old XPS
they're beating out hp and lenovo for sales
I’ve seen box cost vs sales cost and the PC market and their is money to be made based on the product. Let’s just be honest dell laptops suck excepts for the XPS 13. Everything else is flimsy and cheap plastic.
Servers are a large moneymaker. Software $$$ is sweet.
Support money is free money.
Consumer targeted computer is not going to make us rich, that ship has sailed - that's a all low end low margin commodity business.
@vjw It's always been that way in the PC business. The hardware are basically loss leaders.
Dell has to sell Services and Support because the Product is worthless. As far as software they just push SW , no innovation there.
I always heard that the PC business isn't where the revenue comes from. It's the software, services, extended support, servers, etc...
