Dell CEO Says “Post-PC” Era has been Great for PCs

Despite what the folks at Apple are thinking, it looks like there are still plenty of companies that believe the PC market is still pretty vibrant. CEO, founder and owner of Dell, Michael Dell has come out and expressed his confidence in the PC. This is in stark contrast to Apple CEO Tim Cook who said there is no reason to buy PCs anymore.

Despite some doom and gloom about shipments, Dell notes that since Apple first declared the PC “dead” half a decade ago, PC shipments have largely grown. With the continued innovation in both performance and aesthetics, Dell believes that newer PCs are going to be more attractive to consumers than ever. While there are now many devices competing with the PC for consumer’s attention, it just means that PC makers will have to step up their game and face their competition head on.

On a separate note, Dell spoke out against the Snooper’s Charter being contemplated in the UK. On this note, Dell and Cook are on the same page, both adamantly opposed against the surveillance law. Dell noted that backdoors would allow both legitimate and illegitimate access to systems and are fundamentally flawed. Even with many experts and officials already speaking out against the wide range of new powers being granted, the recent events in Paris may yet exert their impact.
