Question Dell's new business model: Good or Bad?

I'm sure you've heard that Dell will start to sell their computers in the traditional big box retail stores (Best Buy, CompUSA, etc) due to a decline in sales. Do you think this is the right direction for them?

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. Personally, I'd rather build my own computer. That way I know exactly what is going into it. In fact, I'm waiting for an order today from Newegg.com. I bought 2GB of G.Skill dual channel RAM Thursday night, and it's being delivered today. I'm also running an overclocked processor(AMD Athlon XP-M 2500+(1.83GHz) running at 2.4 GHz which is equivalent to the 3400+ ). It's completely stable even with only 512MB of memory right now.

Maybe... maybe not...

They already sell pre-configured computers in Costco and Sam's (I think). It's only an evolutionary step to sell it in large non-membership retailers.

I just hope this doesn't mean their online deals will dry up (like it did already somewhat)!

imho, i think this will be good for dell. there is still quite a market out there for consumers who only shop at B&M stores. dell's make some bad decisions in the past few years, but i believe this should give them better annual figures.

That's all I buy, HP. I know that they're trying the Wal Mart think because HP knocked them out of the #1 spot for selling computers. I don't like their computers at all. I would rather have a Mac, but I couldn't afford one, so an HP will do.

I think it will take a little away from the company image, but as of right now that isn't selling their computers too much, so I don't think its that big of a deal.
Looks like everyone around here thinks its a good idea lol
