Do you think Dell computers will be bought out by a foriegn computer company in the near future?

It essentially is a foreign computer company already.  Check out where all the laptops are made and about 1/2 of the desktops.

I do and I did that years ago. But now it's easier and cheaper to just buy a Dell.

Unlikely, just sell the Dell, there are plenty of people who will buy it. Then look for good deal on the Mac. Be prepared for the sticker shock initially when purchasing and especially when wanting to upgrade hardware or software. Also get used to having no real choices in these matters.

I have Dell brand PC. Usually their deals are pretty good...I believe so that this particular deal is not bad. Go for it...

No, they do not. However, there are rumours of dell planning on releasing of those UMPC's (origami)

It's as good as most others.  I don't know where they got the reputation for quality - they're assembled from the same parts that any brand name computer has.   I'm not crazy about their tech support which requires you to chat with an artificial intelligence before they elevate your problem to something that should be handled by a human.\n\nThe one thing Dell has going for it is the Wallmart-like stranglehold on it's manufacturers, which keeps their prices very cheap.\n\nThe worst thing I can say about Dell is that you won't be able to buy a computer with an AMD CPU, which means, for the time being, you won't be able to get the fastest computers.  However, you'll be able to save enough money that you might get more for your money if you're not going for a top-of-the-line machine.\n\nBeware of the add-ons if you do go with Dell or most brands, for that matter.  That's where they get you.  The warranty, the leather case, the printer, etc.  Most of those things can be purchased for less money elsewhere - especially the RAM.  They always give you the bare minimum RAM so that the base price looks low and then they gouge you to upgrade to more RAM.  If you want to save a bundle, just get your RAM from another store (search pricewatch, that's a good start) because it'll be much cheaper and RAM's super easy to pop in.

I would never own anything but a dell!  We've had many different computers but nothing ever lived up to the dell.  We now own 4 dell laptops (one for each of us) and a dell pc.

I disagreement Acid Man because although they have "cheap" prices, they provide Technical Support if you have trouble with your Dell. Also they have high quality processors and they are great. See for yourself\nhttp://www.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/notebooks?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

If they go bankrupt (completely), you may be SOL, unless the company offers some sort of compensation.\n\nIt's unlikely Delta will be bought by another company, but if they did, you'd probably get a heck of a buyout option.\n\nIf you have any doubts about Delta's future, I'd sell.

I don't know about the place your talking about but I do know at least here in Madison we have many small computer shops that have many older but still good computers for a cheep price.  Maybe they would be willing to donate a few of them, wouldn't hurt to ask.

If you buy directly from Dell, you can get some really good deals.  They are awesome computers too.

Dell is a well oiled machine.  Computer clones producers are sort of like the 'mom and pop' businesses.  Then comes Dell, offering mass produced, cheaper machines.  The clones can't really replicate a Dell-bot without spending about the same or more money then Dell would. (especially if you count the warranty you get from Dell.)  In this way, Dell has severely weakened it's competition.
