Dell Laptops Available at Office Works in Australia

I was in Officeworks this past weekend picking up some stationary for my son when I noticed that Officeworks now sells Dell laptop and desktop computers.

Although the practice of Dell selling computers in retail outlets has been common in North America for a while, it is a first for Australia. This change represents a large change in marketing for Dell, who until now has only sold computers via their web-site.

A quick look at the Officeworks web-site tells us that the following Dell computers are available:

• Dell Inspiron 1520 - Intel processor
• Dell Inspiron 1526 - AMD processor
• Dell XPS M1330 - Intel processor
• Dell Inspiron 531ST 5600 - AMD processor
• Dell Inspiron 531ST 4800 - AMD processor

The prices look very similar, or identical, to what you can find on the Dell web-site.

By purchasing your Dell laptop at Officeworks you actually get to try it out first, which is a plus for many people. You are however limited in the configurations available compared to purchasing it on the Dell web-site.
