Dell will cut prices on corporate desktops computers on Monday, bringing these robust

Dell Computer will reduce the prices on its high-end and mid-range OptiPlex desktops
targeted at large corporate customers on Monday, bringing one system based on an
Intel Celeron processor to $849, or $1,048 with a 15-inch monitor. This is a reduction
of 11 percent.

This G1 model includes a 333-MHz processor and a 4.3GB hard drive.

At the high end, a GX1p will fall to $1,999 from $2,199, a drop of nine percent. This
packs in a 400-MHz Pentium II chip, 128MB of memory, 10GB hard drive, a
networking chip from 3Com, and a 17-inch monitor.

A mid-range model will fall from $1,399 to $1,299.

"We're now selling $10 million over the Internet; corporate sales over the Internet have
increased to a hefty portion. Due to those efficiency gains, we have seen quite a drop in
operating expenses…that's what's driving this," said Danny Young, director of
marketing and sales for the OptiPlex line.
