Report: Microsoft 'in talks for $3 billion Dell deal'

4.5
Microsoft is in talks to invest $1 billion to $3 billion in the PC maker Dell, according to a CNBC report.

The buyout would give Microsoft a controlling share in Dell, which is one of the major hardware companies Microsoft relies upon to sell its products to.
Sources also suggest that the investment would make sense because of Microsoft's recent entry in to the hardware market, with their Surface Tablets.

With Dell in their pockets, Microsoft would also gain supplies for for laptops, PCs, notebooks and even more tablets.

Dell also owns gaming hardware company, Alienware, which as you may know, assembles custom desktops and laptops, as well as computer accessories such as headsets, mice and keyboards.

-Emo Microsoft owns bacially everything now xD


Except Apple. It should be interesting to see How Microsoft works with Dell though.


Hopefully they never buy apple.


No one will buy anyone, there 2 different companies.

Apple is worth more than Microsoft, so I doubt Microsoft would ever be able to afford to merge with Apple.


Apple and Microsoft most definitely will never merge, they have had lawsuits against each other. I don't think they could get along. They are both their own original companies.
