You want the truth?

Having read a few of the comments, I'm a bit surprised about the "Dell are a 20th centuary pc maker" comment. They seem to be the only large PC maker that has the savvy to try into the hi-margin computer gamer/enthuisiast market (with their XPS line). Others don't seem to be going after that market, leaving it more niche companies like Alienware, Falcon, Sager etc. etc.

All Dell's machines are "high-margin"...that's because they're overpriced. All the other major makers now have at least some models based on AMD CPUs, which enables them to offer same or better performance at lower cost. Hint: any time someone's standing alone in a pretty much commoditized market, they are *not* on the leading edge, but the trailing edge.
