sell your Dell stock. china will undercut their prices so much, with cheap labor and cheap parts, with their own semiconcudtor fabs which are being built night and day over there - they will own the desktop PC market. Dell can make servers I guess, for a while.
In two years we'll be seeing laptops in blister packs behind the registers at our local chain drug stores.
Dell pc are made in China.
If Dell or HP had made the same offer, it would have been opposed on anti-trust grounds..which is probably why they didn't even bother..makes a whole lot of sense, eh?
IBM got out of the business because Dell and HP were killing them. I think this was a sweet move on IBM's part (save for retaining ownership) and a dumb deal for Lenovo. Dell and HP will continue to kill them in the marketplace.
