Checked the Dell site - it is correct. They will work via Coinbase. Interesting news.

Very awesome news. My last laptop was a dell but it is ancient so now might be the time to upgrade. How much of a discount do you get for ordering in btc? !
Why r u skeptical ? Do u find anything bad in this news ? Who say's he was sceptical?

More exposure is good, but I'd prefer the news if it was a company I actually like. Dell are awful. I'd never use them regardless of the payment method they offer. Got a friend who's been waiting several weeks for a refund from them of over £600 because they're an incompetent company.

Probably every office I've ever seen or place I've worked at used Dell computers. I haven't used them as a personal computer, but as higher end professional workstations, I think they work great. This is huge news for bitcoin, should give some good momentum going into the next few months.

I don't get why everyone is freaking out over the fact that you can pay with Bitcoins to be spied on.
If your so worried, move your coins to an exchange and then make the payment from there so you can be tracked. Otherwise, go back to wearing your foil hat tin man

I would agree. It is probably more important for Dell then for BTC.

Price is already going up a bit on coinbase. This and the Chicago btc conference could be a big weekend for btc!!

I wonder how long Amazon can now stay away from Bitcoin. They will be losing money and market share by the day.

The stick has two ends. The acceptance of BTC will grow in parallel with the increasing legal regulations and taxation from the government authorities.

The only problem I see is all these companies starting from OverStock, TigerDirect to DELL are accepting Bitcoin only for their US operation. What is point of accepting a global currency for a specific country ?

The news will make a bigger impact on the Dell shares price then on a BTC price.

I could see the floodgates opening with this. With Dell's stamp of approval, amazon cannot be far behind now, can it?

What is point of accepting a global currency for a specific country ? Going all in with a brand new payment system would not be a wise business decision in my opinion. Obviously they are going to test it out in the US first to make sure its worth their while, then I'm sure they will roll out international options.

I dont see this realy affecting bitcoin price too much. Dell will only use payment processor like coinbase, and dump bitcoins as soon as they get them. Its good that the options are widening, but i doubt the price will go up much.. were still a long way from the trend we had in december.

I am glad to see more hardware vendors accepting Bitcoin. It will help grow the Bitcoin economy and that can only be a plus for all of us.
