Comments on: Dell focuses on life, revenue beyond the PC

Company not only wants to move beyond its image as just a PC maker. It needs to do so to reach $80 billion revenue goal.

Hey Dell...

I don't think of you as just another PC maker. I think of you as a FUD spreading junk selling company. But I don't think of you as only a PC company. I know that makes you happy.

Low Manufacturing Costs

It is easy to achieve such low costs when they make and design so little. At least HP make more than 50% of some of their products, such as printers and scanners. What does Dell make more that 10% of? Do they even make their own cases.

Dell is a company in decline.

It's clear that the "accountants" are firmly in charge at Dell. They've been cutting corners and dissing clients in order to meet "unrealistic" revenue targets--losing whatever goodwill and/or reputation they had in the process. Now they're planning to dump the PC business before it dumps them. In the end, all their efforts to pump up their stock price will add up to little more than "selling the furniture to buy new drapes".
