Might that 33 dollar price be roughly in the neighborhood of what it cost Dell to manufacture each of those laptops? lol!
In 2014, PC manufacturers were making an average profit of less than $15 per computer sold. http://bgr.com/2014/01/10/pc-profits-analysis-margins/ According the following article, Apple makes 40% profit. But I have seen another source stating that is was 20%. http://www.infotoday.com/LinkUp/Pro...kers-of-PCs-and-Handheld-Devices-107588.shtml
What?! I was guessing an 8-10% profit margin, higher if the computer is higher-end. Those were Alienware laptops. Well, it's got to be higher nowadays, in 2016. They didn't say how many machines were sacrificed due to this error, but a few hundred or more maybe? Job opening at the advertising software firm, available NOW. And Dell has to honor it--good! For once, people can take advantage of a mistake, rather than the other way around, though personally, my conscience would be bothering me afterward.
