While Dell may have had a shot at being AWS and EMC in 90's and 2000's, it never entered into their mindset. They were PROUDLY claiming how they were not wasting money on R&D but rather simply churning out boxes of computers as cheaply as possible using innovations developed by others.
But it is good to see a possible competitor to AWS.

- yuhong 11y agoThat is partly because Intel beat them in many of their R&D though.
- dba7dba 11y agoApple? Samsung? Plenty of innovation from non-Intel. Believe it or not one of the early thin/light Dell laptop that sold well was a rebadged Samsung laptop. It was Dell X1 laptop. 2.5lb laptop with 12inch screen in 2005, or even earlier.
