Always Competitive in PC Land

Here is the latest deal from DELL:

25% off Dimension desktops and Inspiron laptops.

Hewlett Packard (HPQ - Annual Report) is offering $100 off laptops as well. The competition has always been fierce, and it is often hard to tell the difference between a normal market and a difficult one. To that end, it is worth monitoring sites such as slickdeals.com. If you have access to research by firms that do extensive channel checks, all the better. You can also look at the PPI data for electronic computers to tell whether pricing is better or worse than usual (go to advanced search and get a graph of the 12-month change.)
