I'm less excited. Think about it: what would it take for a startup to buy servers from Dell again, rather than renting them?

- jmduke 14y agoI'd argue that Dell has the strongest brand out of all of the Windows OEMs. I think they'd be in a good position to take a few short-term losses and pursue establishing a position similar to Vizio's: a high-end manufacturer. That, coupled with their experience in B2B could absolutely revitalize their company.
- RandallBrown 14y agoIsn't Vizio a low end manufacturer? Their TVs certainly are. I've never seen one of their PCs though.
- schraeds 14y agoThe strongest brand in a post-peak industry with new contenders every day. Also, the Dell brand isn't a Coca-Cola or BMW, it is not all roses. Also, shouldn't the title be Dell buys itself for $24b?
