Dell Japan-Cuts Notebook Prices. Dell Japan Cuts Notebook Prices for Second Time in Feb. February 23, 1998 (TOKYO) -- Dell Computer Corp. of Japan announced that it had cut the prices of all models of Inspiron 3000 Series PCs by a maximum of 6 percent, following its Feb. 2 reduction of prices of the Inspiron series notebook PCs for private and SOHO customers.
