The Innovative Twist of Dell

Dell first came onto the computer scene, offering an innovative twist on the usual method of selling PCs. Instead of selling only out of the box PCs, like most manufacturers, Dell built its computers to order. One of the most popular was a desktop PC, the Dell Dimension. Unlike some previous models, it was specifically targeted to the home PC market. In the middle of 1997, the Dimension was replaced by the Dell Inspiron series. Its incarnations so far include the Dell Inspiron 530, 530s, 531 and 531s. The s after the name denotes that this computer model is a “slim” style, and has a small footprint ideal for computer setups in a relatively limited amount of space.
