Spec’s and Prices of Wal-Mart’s New Dells
By Robert | June 6, 2007
I have just read an anonymous tip regarding the two new Dell desktops Wal-Mart will be carrying starting Sunday. I have no idea if it is true ir not but the infomation is claim to have been read straight of the box. The information seems to be consistent with what has been said by Michael Dell. The first systems price point is said to be at $698 Windows Vista Home Premium model E521B-001W sporting a 19-inch “E197FPB” LCD monitor, dual-core Athlon 64 X2 3600+ processor, 2x 512MB (1GB total) DDR2 667MHz memory, 320GB SATA disk, Integrated GeForce 6150LE graphics,56k PCI Data Fax Modem a 16x DVD +/-RW optical drive, USB keyboard and mouse, 13-in-1 media card reader, 10/100 Ethernet, integrated 7.1 channel sound. For comparison sake, that’s about $50 cheaper than a Dell Dimension E521 configured on-line with the “exact” same components only with a 19-inch widescreen SE198WFP LCD which is faster, brighter, features higher contrast and seems to be a better deal all round than the Wal-Mart E197FPB .
The second system is a $498 E521SA-001W offered sans monitor and a 250GB disk — exactly $1 cheaper than a similarly spec’d E521. So, if the specs are to be believed, then it’s a wash in terms of pricing. I can’t say i expected to much more, Dells profit margin can’t be all that high on any of there machines.
