It makes sense to partition off the low end pre packaged desktops and laptops as amd only models and only available in retail with their separate model numbers etc.

If that's what you want for that price you HAVE to buy it there on the spot at retail so it should help prop up retail volume. You now lose the customer who goes online to check it out and ends up maybe with a dell or maybe not. Either way it's a lose situation for the retail department/partners.

So yeah, makes sense.]]>Feb 8th 2008 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 8th 2008 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/]]>Feb 8th 2008 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/
me: *Contemptuous stare over ThinkPad's lid.
Sorry, I'm enjoying my MOBILITY, my DECENT batter life, DURABILITY, and ease of HARDWARE access.

Critical Hit! Dell guy -50 HP!

Seriously guys, I've done work on Dells (Latitudes mostly) and I am DAMN glad my machine is a Thinky.]]>Feb 9th 2008 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/]]>Feb 9th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/
I've been in the laptop repair business for over 6 years.
Dell laptops are far and away the easiest to disassemble and re-assemble of any brand. IBMs are not anywhere close. Bottom of the list: SONY and Alienware.

As to the article? This guy must have a grudge against Dell or something.]]>Feb 9th 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/Feb 9th 2008 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/08/dell-further-clarifies-how-and-where-its-dropping-amd/

Perhaps Dell should *only* sell AMD in their budget machines, and *only* sell Intel in their higher end machines...]]>Feb 9th 2008 7:51PM
