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.

I don't like Microsoft Tablets, and now there is going to be more! Just go with the iPad, it's expensive, but (I think) it's the best.

'Alienaware' you're paying for the name not the quality of the components, the cost of an Alienware machine you can build for cheaper yourself - before saying it anyone that is competent enough to sit and watch youtube videos can build their own machine.
He's not asking tips on how to build a computer he wants to know if Dell makes Alienware PC's.
