    Also rather confusing that all the Dell tv adverts state they do not sell through any other shops... so how come this company is selling them?

    I thought dell ads said "Dell don't sell in the shops", not "other shops". Do online stores count as shops?

    I think it's stock dell don't want to sell cos it's not top of the range any more.

    As a point of note, Morgan Computers have a number of stores. The one I'm most familiar with is on New Oxford Street in London. I think there is one in Middlesex and another in Birmingham.

    I think DELL say they don't have their OWN shops - hence no overheads. Not that they don't sell through OTHER shops...
