1. So Easy Your Mom Can Do It June.30.2008_9:01 am

   Categories: Laptops, Reviews, Video

   So one of the “cool” applications we launched with the new Studio laptops is Dell Video Chat (DVC). This is a super easy, one-click-and-you’re-ready-to-go program that makes setting up a video chat mindless.  When we were talking to reporters about how easy DVC was to start up and use, my spokesperson, Brent Wampler, director of […]

3. Drinking From the Fire Hose June.6.2008_4:38 pm

   Categories: Uncategorized

   Dell hosted a large group of reporters from the Asia/Pacific/Japan (APJ) region earlier this week – introducing them to all aspects of our business. We sometime call these kinds of briefings “drinking from the fire hose” because the amount of information shared over the short time can be overwhelming. But attendees are usually appreciative – […]

   “Party on Garth!” is one of my favorite lines that I pull out when I am celebrating. And today I am celebrating some “heavy hitter” third-party validation of product excellence. In the last few days both the XPS 730 and the XPS 420 received some awesome awards.  Dell’s monster gaming desktop, the XPS 730, received […]

Conversations from it have been lighting up the front page of Techmeme since last night. For those who aren’t familiar with it, D6 is a two day-event during which tech industry leaders and […]

   I’m guessing that most hardcore gamers don’t actually read the WSJ - but there’s nothing like a little link love to connect us to stories that impact us. Here is the real scoop on what we are up to.
   Dell XPS and Alienware are both great brands – arguably the greatest brands in PC gaming – […]
