True. selling pc's is a new venture, but i doubt it will involve any deals with competitors in that space.



Currently, Dell who assembles their own boxes, is fighting a margin decrease. I can't imagine other assemblers of boxes willing to give away much margin on boxes to Amazon. The retailers too would not see any advantage3 to selling to Amazon for less since they could sell it to the end consumer for less and likely have a bit more margin.
