Getting a jump on Windows 10
Do you think maybe Dell is excited about Windows 10? That's an understatement, as it's the only major OEM to begin offering pre-orders for select Windows 10 devices. And while we haven't checked all the boutique system builders, Dell might be the only PC seller to do so, period.
"Ready for Windows 10? Great! So are we. Which is why customers in the U.S. can pre-order select Dell devices with Windows 10 starting TODAY that will ship starting July 29 –the big day Microsoft releases its new operating system," Dell stated in a blog post. "Plus with Same Day Ship from Dell, you can receive your order as early as July 30 and be the first to show off your new Windows 10 device."
The Windows 10 system pre-order page currently includes Inspiron desktops, an Inspiron 11 2-in-1 device, Inspiron 15 laptop configuratons, and an XPS 8700 rig -- seven systems in all. Pricing ranges from $380 (Inspiron 11 2-in-1) to $830 (XPS 8700).
These are all pre-configured systems. You can't change or upgrade the hardware components, though some of them allow you to add accessories and other bits like monitors, various software, and warranty extensions.
Any pre-orders placed by 2:00 PM CT on July 29 will ship out that day.
