Dell removing AMD-based computer systems from online store?

Filed under: ,

What a short, strange trip it has been. Dell has reportedly stopped selling AMD-based computer systems from its online store, just 21 months after they announced their intention to sell AMD-based systems to the general public.

However, contrary to first reports and the sandwich board wearing doomsayers, that move doesn’t mean the curtain is falling on the Dell/AMD releationship. In fact, Dell reiterated today their commitment to AMD on their Direct2Dell blog.

So what is Dell doing?

For the date being, they have largely relegated their AMD-based systems to brick-and-mortar-big-box stores, such as Best Buy, Staples, Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club. Thankfully, whether your laziness precludes you from getting out of that easy chair, you can still order by the phone as well.
