Jim - Yes, mostly what I don't like is the price point. I was in love with the product when I imagined a $500 price... bundling with the monitor adds $100 (at least deleting the same monitor on a dimension deletes $100). $999 seems like a lot. Having said that, I have to add that the guy running this program for DELL is a wizard, at least in laptops, and I'm sure those folks know a lot more than I do about what it takes to be successful in this space (that's kind of a given in that I have never been involved in creating or delivering any kind of PC product...) - I was expecting a big. clean-cut win, and I don't feel that the product gave us one. It may be a solid building block in some incremental strategy. We'll just have to see how the consumer play works for DELL over the next few weeks, and how this product plays into their positioning over time.
