This is huge. They will also be offering a discount for bitcoin purchases. 10%+ discounts for using BTC is what's going to drive consumer adoption.

Big news. How much longer can the price continue to ignore these developments?

Revenue numbers from Wikipedia: US$ 56.94 billion (2013)[3] That's... Easily more than Overstock and NewEgg and Flowers.com and every other Bitcoin business put together. And then some.

We saw good news for months now but price barely changed. I think it become positive news tolerant and won't move much.

Surely many will ask "Why would I pay Dell in bitcoins?". Well Dell wants to promote the currency so much they will be giving a discount: "we’ll be offering a special Alienware promotion wherein customers can save 10% off a new Alienware system purchase (up to $150 limit) when checking out with bitcoin" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8053860Not only are they accepting Bitcoin. They're promoting it. And offering a Bitcoin discount from Day 1!

Amazing. Just to clarify, it looks as though the 10% discount is only good for the purchase of an Alienware complete system. They aren't giving a 10% discount for all bitcoin purchases. But this is definitely major.

They probably figure that if there's one market segment that can actually afford Alienware computers, it would be (Bitcoin) early adopters. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I've been thinking about getting a new tablet. Wasn't even considering Dell, but now I may very well just buy it with bitcoin from them.

Why is this in speculation section .? because I can see official press release so Dell made it official so it belong to Bitcoin Discussion. Great News , we can see it happening Overstock, Expedia, Dell and many more, If Ebay and Amazon joins in thats gonna blast the market. And the price doesn't move. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Keep Calm , Just Adoption isn't making any difference in recent times .. just keep calm once they react all of it gonna count.

Just some simple math... Two thousand early adopters spend 50 BTC each on Dell hardware. Result: 100k extra BTC sold on exchanges, triggering a healthy capitulation. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish
