Dell complaints

[Sparky]

Should be in a few days or next week correct?

I sit and wait with baited flatulance.

A few soundbytes from the Dell announcement which I am sure everyone heard.

"HP grew 5.6 percent year on year; we grew 13 percent," said Rollins on a conference call to reporters when pressed about the company's slowing growth in the wake of its HP's resurgence. "I do think we have some tougher comparisons than our competitors... "

Rollins attributed some of the decline to the extra selling days in the fourth quarter, but analysts weren't satisfied by the calendar-explanation.

Dell's gross profit margin slipped, falling to 17.8 percent from 18.5 percent in the year-ago quarter.

"People were wondering if they are pricing really aggressively and not getting the unit growth they want," said Lanyon. "It wasn't a great profitability quarter. I view it as a work in progress. The Dell business model is still working, it's just not delivering the stellar results we saw 4 or 5 quarters ago."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Dell still enjoys better profit margins on its PC products, HP is becoming more competitive, in part because unlike Dell, it offers PCs and servers with AMD (Research) chips, which many in the industry currently believe to be technologically superior to Intel chips.

Rollins told reporters that despite recent rumors, the company is not currently planning to ship systems with AMD chips.

"There is no change in stance. We are still buying our processors from Intel," he said. "We have commented publicly that we test all technologies; We will only make changes when we deem it to be appropriate."

well numbers were not that bad, but the forecast not good enough.
And look at the stock price. Its going down again.
And the 1Year target was also corrected from 37 to 35$.

This company is going slowly but surely down.

what can it do?

[MentallyProvoked]

You forget one good reason we do Intel instead of AMD......

AMD can't stock our shipping demands. Their production simply can't cover the units we send out.

[Short_DELL]

Has anybody noticed the 10 Day Sale DELL is doing and the prices?

I wonder if the revenue and units needs a boost for the current quarter (at the expense of profits).
