Dell unveils work station for serious home investor
NEW YORK, May 12 (Reuters) - Dell Computer Corp.(NasdaqNM:DELL - news) is expected to unveil on Tuesday a new souped-up work station designed to provide home online investors with the tools of the trade used by the professionals.
``It's a complete package with tools similar to those found on trading floors,'' Dell Spokesman David Graves said on Friday. ``These customers have high performance needs. They're sophisticated, tech-savvy.''
The work station will provide online investors with data analysis software as well as market data services, and will be powerful enough to analyse the large amounts of information flowing into it.
Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, said it would disclose the name of the product, its price, availability and other details on Tuesday.
The work stations will be powered by Intel Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) Pentium III processors. In February, Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news) announced a similar arrangement with Intel and online brokerage firm Wall Street Access.
``We view the trend as a really hot area,'' said Tom Gibbs, director of Intel's vertical marketing. ``The more focused use of computer equipment in the home is happening,'' Gibbs said. ``They have taken professional workstation products, and modified them for the user at home.''
``This is democracy of data and access, democracy of execution (of trades),'' he said.
