Robert McLaws grabs Dell by the collar and slaps them silly for not having a single Tablet PC in their lineup because “the market is too small.”
One of the main reasons the Tablet business is so small is because you’re not playing in it yet. Wake up and smell the consumers! You guys are the #1 marketer to the average computing consumer. If you guys had a Tablet, a smart ad campaign from the Dell Dude (fresh out of Rehab or wherever), and had the same financing options you do now, you’d have a LOT more Tablet sales.
Absolutely right. Dell drives me crazy with dumb support policies and practices, but they still make excellent products at unbeatable prices, and I buy or specify a lot of Dell products. I’m getting ready to replace my Toshiba Tablet PC with a new model, and it kills me that Dell isn’t competing for my business.
Yeah – they will probably only jump when they are convinced they can sell millions – since they apparently make such a small margin on each unit – it takes selling that many for them to make a profit.
