Business models: One size does not fit all
Dell has made a fortune with their business model--cutting the cost of production, and selling in bulk at lower margins. This does result in a certain "cheapness" of the products they sell, but consumers in the computer market are willing to overlook this in order to get a lower price.

This does not seem to be the case for other electronic products. People do not seem to be willing to accept the same "cheapness" when it comes to a $200 plus walkman, or in their television set.

It's a lesson Dell needs to learn. What works in one market may not necessarily fit the bill in other markets.
