I read the announcement of Gateway's new PentiumII 300MHz and so I looked up Dell, CPQ, Gateway, Micron, and NEC. Configured them with 64M SDRAM 15.7" monitor tried to be apples and apples the best that I could,and was surprised to see with Dell Dimension how competitive Dell is against the others. The surprise was that CPQ was several hundred higher, the catch was it came with 48Mbytes of memory and to upgrade to 64Mbytes added $149.95, what a ripoff. The easiest website to use was Dell and Gateway. CPQ was the absolutely most difficult to use in my opinion. They need to go back to the drawing board or use Dell's as a model to design a new website. Anyway, the bottom line here is Dell is very competitive in this market and that should translate into more volume, and the margin will be there.
