Lack of product quality or differentiation (commodity market).Paltry R&D efforts (witness acquisition of geek-chic Alienware).New products introduced and withdrawn in a hurry (remember their MP3 player? I don't.)Channel efficiencies have been replicated by competitors -- even the corner computer kiosk can build comparably-priced systems.On the low-end, servers are being replaced by increasingly sophisticated NAS devices; high-end products require more R&D than Dell is willing to spend.Razor-thin margins that are highly susceptible to supply-chain disruptions.Not a recipe for success.
