It was probably only a matter of time: Dell -- a company that's been
churning out some
pretty wildly (and attractively) designed laptops of late -- has just rolled out a new website especially for the ladies. Called "Della," the site presents a shopping experience that is presumably less manish and annoying than good ole' Dell proper -- with lots of photos of women lounging around at the beach, drinking coffee, and browsin' the 'net in small groups on beautifully matched neutral-toned furniture sets. The site looks pretty slick, and while we can't really take issue with that, we
do find it a bit disconcerting that they mention "finding recipes," "counting calories," and blissing out to "guided meditations" on the Tech Tips page.
Tech Tips!? Then again, we didn't find any references to shoe shopping, so you know: whatever.

This website is ridiculous. Why would you sell laptops to Women when everybody knows their place is in the home?
You might just get rated below anything we have ever seen for simply forgetting the "/s" at the end of that comment.
Or in front of the stove.
Or scrubbing the bathtub.
Or folding the laundry.
Or cooking a meal.
Or not driving well.
That's all I have. Note the non use of /s. Not everyone has to be politically correct all the time. @Templarian: It's okay to laugh every once in a while.
there are no women online.
It's a tarp.
Best laugh I had all day.
Thanks.
I agree!
My home happens to be a fishing vessel. Which I own, pilot, repair and enjoy.
I do love lounging on the beach. HAHAHA When I am not flying my plane to ORL to deliver some delicious grouper or tilefish.
Yeah, I guess I belong in front of the stove after all.
This thread has potential. Legen.....wiat for it....dairy!
@jr2k, if it makes a difference I rated him up not down for the laugh. lol.
(also the driving thing isn't a joke)
Please.
A womans place is to keep men in line, on track and grounded.
A mans place is ..........at our beck & call !
We're lucky it's not our job to keep you grounded, in your case it would clearly be quite difficult. ;)
@Patent Pending
Online: Where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents...
@Templarian: Then well played good sir, well played.
& to pay our bills and take us shopping ;)
templarian, you seem to forget that the majority of users of this blog are:
a) male
b) often felt disregarded by women
lols this is funny:0
Great idea actually, kudos to Dell for inadvertently teaching men how to wash dishes.
Nice.
A link to driving lessons would help.
lol +1
The fact that there are no comments from women complaining about this yet shows that there is definitely a market for this site...
-1 I'm woman & I'm complaining.
I hate to break it to all of you, but we are the better drivers.
The number of men involved in traffic accidents is larger than the number of women
Men are more likely to speed
Men are more likely to drive drunk.....
@Just some girl
[Citation needed]
Men only get in accidents when there are women in the way.
Yeah, women get in fewer total accidents, but if you look at it per mile driven, women get in more accidents.
5.2 accidents per million miles driven for men versus 5.7 per million miles driven for women.
@some guy
your source?
Women are worse drivers than men. It was a woman that made a U turn with a red left arrow (from the right left turn lane). Not only that, but instead of turning into the closest lane she cut across the entire 3 lane highway to then turn right into Costco. I also noticed the baby in the back seat because she ran me off the road on to the shoulder to avoid being hit by her. Only women and people running from the cops drive that crazy.
Also, 14 point turns are definitely a women's thing.
@ some girl
Maybe because there are more men driving :P
thats why in Saudi Arabia we don't women drive,,,
***mistake:
we don't LET women drive,, sorry I typed that too fast lol
@Just some girl
Where's your source? It seems a little odd to make a statement like yours, without a source, and then demand a source from someone else.
@Ryan-
You can find many articles on google.
I can't find any proof on his statistics, which is why I asked.
LOL @ dell
someones trying too hard
DELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
that's exactly what i was thinking!!!!!

What the Hella !!!
What the Hella !!!
When are they coming out with Dello?
Right after Delli - Mega bites to go!
Wait, what? Oh right...it's a joke, isn't it? Isn't it???
how out of touch can a major corporation possibly be? pathetic...if they published something like their "Seven Unexpected Ways a Netbook Can Change Your Life" on their main site they would be hounded off the intertubes....
Next up: Dellz (with a backwords "E") - Just for kidz!
I'm a guy, and yet I count so many different levels of insult here.
Reminds me of the Barbie doll which would complain, "Math is HARD!"
But I hear Math was a nice guy, too.
A true gentleman finishes second.
I immediately thought of Della Reese.
I'll be over next to the toilet :yuck:
I make your mouthpiece obese like Della Reese
Oh, girl in the bottom left, how I yearn for thee. Sure the other three may appear more fun, but you're power-levelling your Ranger.
bwahahahaha!!1
Engadget being slow to report again. :P This site has been online for a while now. Wonder what's next - Dellga? Dell for gays. Configure your rainbow colored laptops here complete with rainbow Vista themes and rainbow backgrounds. :P
lame engadget, my reply was for decoy above...
"Oh, girl in the bottom left, how I yearn for thee. Sure the other three may appear more fun, but you're power-levelling your Ranger."
kurt's comment was dumb.
