The prices they advertise are not real - only after filling in rebate
coupons that allows dell$ to keep a large amount of
your money in their bank gathering interest as opposed to your bank
and gathering interest there, do you get the price down to the
advertised level.
For years I have been buying eSys Linux pre-installed
machines that are cheaper and you don't need to fill out rebate coupons

How does dell$ make a commercial PC?
At the moment it can't without illegal overcharging of micoshaft customers:
1. First, they get micoshaft to illegally overcharge micoshaft customers.
2. Micoshaft then illegally allocate that overcharged money
to dell$ customers instead of micoshaft customers.
3. Then dell$ installs the monopoloy OS.
4. Then dell$ goes cap in hand to micoshaft for money back hander
5. Then micoshaft illegally pays dell$ monopoly antitrust back hander
compatible money.
6. Then micoshaft and dell$ cover up their inefficent money
thiefing operation from EU regulators by making all the
payments outside the EU.
7. There! Bob is your uncle, and your pista pre-loaded machine is sold
illegally at below cost prices by dell$ in the EU subsidised by
overcharged micoshaft customers paying dell$ in USA.
If dell$ now tries to make and sell to its customers
a commercially produced PC with Linux,
then dell$ does not get micoshaft back hander that was
originally overcharged to micoshaft customers.
Thus for dell$ the price of having to sell a commercially
produced Linux PC is same as windopz PC, plus the cost of
the back hander they need to receive by overcharged micoshaft customer.
This is why dell$ linux PCs are charged to dell$ customers
at a higher price than windopz PCs.
EU regulators? One wonders how they can sleep after living off the fat
of tax payers money.
