Dell Ireland - 10% price increase on small business site

I may be wrong but it looks like dell ireland have increased all the prices in their small business site by 10%! The base prices are the same but upgrading anything is now 10% more expensive.

Just from looking at precision laptops.

Upgrade to 64bit os was 50 euro, now 55 euro.

Component example, yesterday it cost 440 euro to update the graphics card on a m6400 from a FX2700M to a FX3700M, today it costs 490 for the same upgrade.

I'd been holding out on some purchases for the prices to drop, now they've gone and increased them, not happy!

 

That's just really rotten. In the US the FX3700m is $399. In the UK its £410 ($600)...

 

Yep, shame on you Dell, first you downsize your Limerick plant and now you decide to increase your prices

Edit: Looks like the price increase was for all the eurozone countries, just checked dell germany and the prices have gone up there too

 

its too cover the costs of moving to Poland I imagine.
Theres a well written article about it here http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2009/01/11/dell_limerick_lessons/

 

I thought they were moving to poland to reduce their costs so they could be more competitive with pricing
