Now That It's Private, Dell Targets High-End PCs, Tablets

Posted by Soulskill on from the dude-you're-gettin'-a-weird-looking-tablet dept.

jfruh writes: If Dell has a reputation in the PC market, it's as the company that got low-end PCs to customers cheaply. But after the great drama of founder Michael Dell taking the company private, the company is following a new path, adding higher-quality (and more expensive) products like the Venue 8 7000, the thinnest tablet on the market today, to its lineup. One analyst notes that "Because they are no longer reporting to Wall Street, they can be more competitive."

    It'd be nice to see Dell waste Apple in the PC marketplace, while Apple is fiddling around with consumer devices and cellphones, the modern equivalent of selling sugar water to children.

    It's something to hope for, but at this point just a dream.
