DELL BROADENS OPTIPLEX DESKTOP FAMILY WITH NEW
G1 AND E1 MODELS FOR MAINSTREAM AND VALUE CUSTOMERS
OptiPlex Family Crosses Commercial Desktop Segments, From Power to Basic
ROUND ROCK, Texas, June 8, 1998 -- Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL), the world's leading direct computer systems company, today expanded its OptiPlexr family of business and institutional desktop PCs with two new managed PCs, the OptiPlex G1 and OptiPlex E1, designed to provide outstanding price/performance and value for a wide range of customer needs.
The OptiPlex G1 and E1 follow on the heels of the highly successful OptiPlex GX1, launched in April and targeted to business power desktop PC users. With today's announcement, the entire OptiPlex family now incorporates processors based on Intel's P6 microarchitecture and addresses all desktop PC business and institutional customer segments, from power to basic. OptiPlex systems are eligible to carry the NSTL Hardware Tested Year 2000-compliant logo and integrate many of the latest industry-standard technologies to help customers manage the cost of operating their networks.
"The OptiPlex G1 PC is ideal for users who want affordable Pentiumr II performance with flexibility and expandability on their desktop," said Carl Stolle, vice president and general manager, OptiPlex product group. "The CeleronT processor-based OptiPlex E1 will appeal to customers who use basic applications in single-tasking environments."
Dell plans to begin taking orders for the OptiPlex E1 in mid-June and the OptiPlex G1 in
late June.
OptiPlex E1
The OptiPlex E1 is Dell's first system based on the new Celeron processor, which provides basic integer, floating point and multimedia performance for applications running on operating systems such as Windows 95 and Windows NTr. Dell expects the OptiPlex E1 to appeal to customers who want to replace "green screen" terminals and
386/486 processor-based systems.
The price of an OptiPlex E1 configured with the 300MHz Celeron processor, 32MB SDRAM hard drive, integrated ATI Rage IIC AGP video with 2MB video memory, integrated 3Com 10/100 Wake-up On LAN networking capability and Windows 95 is $1,077. Including a 15-inch monitor (13.7-inch v.i.s), the price is $1,326. Other options
include up to 256MB SDRAM, EIDE hard drives up to 4.3GB and up to 4MB video memory.
Manageability Features
Both the OptiPlex G1 and E1 incorporate industry-standard asset, configuration, fault
and security management technologies as part of Dell's OpenManageT systems
management strategy. Features include support for remote networked BIOS flash,
SMART disk system monitoring and alerts, chassis intrusion alert, property ownership
