In 1984 this company spawned a personal computer revolution by offering PCs directly to its customers. Rather than building generic one size fits all computing solutions, Dell Computers creates fully customizable computer systems that are built only after an order is placed. This allows customers to select equipment with the exact specifications that best meet their needs. By eliminating costly middlemen, customers can purchase electronics, televisions, digital cameras, monitors, printers, desktop computers, laptops and accessories featuring the latest technology at bargain prices.

The store offers a vast selection of fully customizable desktop and laptop computers, including Inspiron, XPS, Studio and Studio XPS versions. They also have netbooks including the Mini netbook. Users who demand the flexibility of portable, wireless computing will appreciate affordable Inspiron series laptops and more robust and stylish Studio models. XPS models are available with high performance for PC games and fast execution of powerful applications, while Studio XPS models combine style, performance and features for high-end consumers demanding the very best.

Each recommended configuration provides a starting point, but is fully customizable. Users have the option of upgrading the processor, LCD monitor, memory, wireless networking card, optical Blu-Ray/DVD/CD burners and customizing accessories including printers, speakers, software packages, mouse and keyboards, Bluetooth modules and wifi networking components. Each Windows computer features reliable name brand parts and software from trusted names such as Intel, AMD, ATI, NIVIDA, Logitech, Netgear, Quicken and Norton. Industry-leading 3-year warranties come standard with some Dell.com computers. Most of the software and popular accessories are also available for purchase separately.

A computer cannot be fully utilized without a printer. Fortunately, the store also stocks a wide selection of printers including all-in-ones, laser, and inkjet machines from both their own brand and such venerable brands including Brother, Canon, Epson, Lexmark and Xerox.

Dell.com also stocks the latest electronics and gadgets including Axim and Palm handheld PCs, Garmin GPS systems, digital cameras from Canon, Fuji, Olympus, Pentax, Samsung and Sony, and MP3 Players from Archos, Creative Labs, iRiver, Microsoft, SanDisk and Sony. The store even offers its own line of coveted yet affordable plasma, projection and LCD HDTVs, as well as competitively priced models from Sharp and Panasonic.

Shipping is always competitively priced, and even free on some items. An outlet section offers additional savings on a variety of computers and electronics. Affordable financing options are also available directly online.
