Dell is gearing up to enter the sub-$1,000 segment "in force" according to Carl Everett of Dell. In addition, they are gearing up for an assault on consumer business (about 1/2 of business) and small business segments with aggressive price points. They don't want to enter into the sub-$400 segment according to Meredith as they lose money there even with their model (interesting). However, there is a lot of room in the 400-999 segment and most likely a tremendous growth in sales.

Dell "entered" the sub 1K market as a natural progression of their relentless drive for efficiency and passing on lower component costs achieved by their leverage. The other major players are settling for lower margins because of their inefficiencies. CPQ is the absolute perfect example of a company losing money on each unit but try to make up for it with volume. Dell has consistently worked to lower costs and pass those savings through to the consumer while maintaining margins and grabbing market share. I don't understand why this is so hard a concept for you to grasp. Aloha.

Hi Stefan! Glancing back over your posts, its obvious, you just like to argue and bash those who are winning. Yes, Dell is winning. Duh! Never mind the stock price, if you were smart, you'd have been in Dell years ago. Sorry if you missed it, but I'm not sorry for gettin RICH, by getting mine years ago. Dell MAY (and I emphasize, MAY)not be the glory stock it has been, but so what? I CAN'T LOSE NOW!! I think you better go back to the MB thread were the bears belong! Best to you! D.
