I think Dell is perceived as being the "Gold Standard"....overall #1 in a combination of value/service/quality....that doesn't necessarily mean they are always #1 in price but they are close enough in price and tops in all the other categories that folks are willing to pay a few bucks extra to go with the best.

I built a PC and a notebook at both Dell and Compaq and Compaq is quite a bit cheaper than Dell.....I don't get why Dell is perceived as having the best prices.I am talking identical systems in the 1200 to 2500 price range. Because Dell said so and the talking heads don't check it out. NW
