Dell has been rumored to be considering allowing brick-and-mortar stores carry their PCs in-store. Apparently, they will sell their first PC from a retail store this weekend in June.
Who will be carrying their PCs? Wal-Mart of course! For some reason it just seems like a perfect fit. I’ve never cared much for Dell’s quality or customer service, and Wal-Mart is about on par with them in my eyes, so it seems only logical that they would team up.
We will apparently begin seeing these systems in over 3,000 stores this weekend Beginning on June 10th. I’ll try to sneak my camera in and see if my local store has any when the time comes.
Updated:I was contacted by a Wal-Mart representative and informed that the original timeframe for release was incorrect. Many sites covered the news that it would happen this weekend, however, they will not be selling these until June 10.

Are you crazy apparently so. I have work in the IT field for 12 years and have the highest regards for Dell. I have worked with all makes and models of PC’s and laptops. From IBM to Toshibas and no one comes close to Dell’s customer service. All i think of is that you had ONE bad deal and now you are condeming all Dell. I am a contractor and have to work with all brands of Servers and workstations. There is alot pc’s makers that have alot worse customer service than Dell. So i think you are just had a bad taste of Dell. So get over it there are worse dealers. Dell is a Jump up from Toshiba and ACER.

Although I haven’t worked in the IT field for quite as long as you, I have been in it for over 6 years doing work for companies ranging from large Fortune 200 companies down to small home businesses. I’ve actually had many bad experiences with Dell ranging from poor customer service to bad hardware on both desktop and laptop systems. I know many people that swear by Dell, but I have had too many bad experiences with Dell to ever purchase something from them again. I will agree that their products are superior to Acer, but I hold Toshiba to a much higher standard than Dell.
