Dell's scam- Different charge of Core i7 in 2 different model

Pls trash this entire post it's became meaningless after been edited by "X2P"

 

Well, it's not illegal and can't be called a fraud. This is just the way Dell does things. Unfortunately things are pointing to Dell either having completely lost overview of their business or just being very sloppy and not caring.

It is also possible that the extra cooling requirements of a higher power processor require cooling system upgrades in one computer and not in another. It certainly isn't fraudulent for Dell to charge what they think the market will bear. Heck, MS does it all the time. Also, since it is possible that the cost of putting an i7 chip does vary between systems it's possible Dell is doing nothing more than passing on the costs.

I think the OP is off base with this one.

 

This is not a new tactic by Dell and some other manufacturers and it is not just India. This happens in the US as well. Sometimes you will even notice different links to the same products that will net you different prices.

It may also be the fact that they do not sell the same amount of units with that processor from one model to the next so maybe it is an offset. Either way, it cannot be called fraud since you know what you'll be paying for it up front. If they were to change it without notifying you then perhaps.

 

How can I delet this post it's duplicated.

 

I think it's not good to sell the same thing in different price to customer by the same co. I can understand if the same config. of lenevo or sony are of different price but the Same processor in 2 diff model of dell having different price,not justified.

They telling the cause why it's different is "The same configuration of "Dell Studio XPS 16" they want to promote so they selling "Intel i7" customize with "Studio 15" in higher price than it with "Studio14".So that if some person want to customize "Studio15" it's price goes approx. up to "Studio XPS16" & people tend to buy superior model "XPS".

Such a ridiculous marketing strategy by Dell.

 

No, it's actually a very smart marketing strategy. It's called driving demand by pricing.

People are completely mistaken in the belief that pricing has to "make sense". Companies are well within their right to charge an arbitrary amount for their goods. This is not fraud.

Fraud is if they quote you $XXX for a component, only to charge you $YYY.

 

Yeah there is no fraud here. That would be like saying if they put one model on sale they have to put all models on sale. It doesn't work like that.

Im sorry to say it, but Dellcommit fraud when they sell systems that dont work outta the box, then deny you your money back, such as in my particular case. I know its unrelated but just had to vent

 

Dear all,

Thanks for your reviews on this topic.

I tried to rise this issue here for benefit of all consumers & I also tried to convince "dell's sales" Gurgaon, India during book my order.

I think this issue been resolved by "dell' itself & now in dell website, for both models it (intel i7-720) showing the same price.
