The other driving variable, which I left to implication, was inertia. Right. That's pretty orthogonal to "how many laptop models is enough laptop models?" though. No, there's really not. I've already explained the main variable here: Price. So, I would like to be very clear: I understand that price is an important factor. Vostros are cheap and though you disagreed, your company viewed price as the most important thing. Many people and companies feel that way. I do understand that. That does not even remotely explain why Dell has so many lines and models. Most companies manage to have budget lines/models without such a brain-melting array of choices. You keep writing, essentially, "well we kept buying dell so I guess it worked!!!!" But I could just as easily say "a lot of companies don't buy Dell, and Apple has like 100x the market value with like 1/10 of the models so obviously Dell is stupid" but that would not be accurate either because there are a looooooot of other variables. Anyway, this conversation is going nowhere, and you don't have anything insightful to say, so thank you and good bye.
