Dell launches retail presence in China

Earlier this year, Dell announced that it was readying an uber-cheap desktop for the Chinese market, but now the Round Rock powerhouse is hoping to claim a bit more of the growing space by selling "computers through the country's biggest chain of electronics stores." Reportedly, sales of its PCs will "start in 50 Gome Group stores next month and expand to more stores early next year," and Dell made it known that the move was absolutely being made in an attempt to claim its "rightful share of the business" in this part of the globe. Of note, interested consumers can plan on seeing Dell's XPS M1330 and Inspiron 1420 laptops on display alongside the XPS 720, Dimension 9200 and Inspiron 530 desktops, but it wasn't stated whether or not those options would expand in due time.

Mr Dell is a smart man, only a Jew would know that the next big economic boom is about to happen in China.

I'm pretty sure that anyone who can read knows that the next economic boom will be in China...

Also, whether you're Jewish or not...way to be a bigot.

As a Jew, I'll take that as a compliment :)

Go die in a fire.

I believe something was mentioned about a fire?

[John @ Sep 24th 2007 8:45AM]

Wow, I think this is the first time that someone acknowledged that Dell is in Round Rock and not in Austin (other than official news articles).

New here?
Engadget has long recognized that Dell is headquartered in Round Rock.

Oh, haha, didn't realize they mentioned it before. This is just the first post on Dell that I've seen that they mentioned it. I was also referring to other blogs other than Engadget
