	Dell, which has beaten its competition by slicing profit margins and turning low-price computers into a commodity, is now turning to the high end. It will announce today that it will begin selling a line of desktop and laptop computers it is marketing as luxury models.

Luxury models??

Oh boy, here we go again. Apple this, and Apple that. No one's ever happy! So now they want to take a crack @ a luxury model, and offer it to the Vertu phone customer?? Did they not see what happened when VW offered in $100k car in the Phaeton? I don't have one, and I love VWs...

Isn't that what Apple offers with that ProCare card?? Anyhow, half the wait, for the same dull service. So you get the bad news faster I guess....
