Two exciting products that prove what Dell can do:
Dell is "a work in progress" and pointed out, "This is not a short-term fix and we are not in a short-term game."
The Vostro line of notebooks is not supposed to compete with the MacBook Air, but is a gutsy alternative for small businesses that want power and speed in a little package. A review at Laptop Magazine that awarded the Dell XPS M1330 its Editors' Choice designation and said it's "a remarkable notebook for a very reasonable price."
The review concludes: "So let's review: top-notch screen, keyboard, performance, design, portability, and features, all for under $2,000. Sure, it's not as thin as the MacBook Air or ThinkPad X300, but the XPS M1330 has more features than the former and a much lower price than the latter. This is the ultimate sweet-spot notebook for consumers."
Moreover, It spent $152 million on research and development last quarter, which is 7% higher than it was a year ago, so they're working on something.
Even without a technology breakthrough, however, the marginal changes taking place at Dell are good enough to keep earnings growing
