Dell Computers to be sold in Wal-Mart stores!

World’s second largest PC manufacturer Dell has said that they would soon start selling some of their computers in Wal-Mart stores.

This is a departure from the direct-to-consumer business model which helped them become the giant they are now.

However, increased competition in the market has forced them to rethink their strategies to regain the number 1 spot from Hewlett Packard.

Dell said in a statement that they would begin by offering two models from its Dimension desktop computer line in about 3,000 Wal-Marts beginning June 10.

Dell spokesman Dwayne Cox added: “Customers want more and new ways to buy our products, and we plan on meeting their needs on a global level. Offering Dell Dimensions in Wal-Mart is a great example of this approach.”

The company is also likely to reveal more retail moves in the coming weeks.

The move is also going to benefit Wal-Mart as they recently announced their plans to offer more brand names in its electronics departments.
