Single SKU, single price for components across all Dell systems.

200 points posted to Sales Strategies by vitalsupport Apr 23

Make prices for individual components that are the same between systems across your various lines the same. For example the 2-button optical mouse costs $14 when purchased with an Optiplex system but only $9 with a Vostro or Dimension. There are others like a DVD-ROM/CDRW on a server costs $99 but the same device on an Optiplex costs $27. Processors have even more widely varying prices.

The cost for the same or nearly identical component should be the same regardless of division or product line. The variance in cost between lines should be based on the inherent flexibility, capabilities, and warranty of the base model without the common components such as hard drives, memory, optical drives and such. This will make comparing a systems value easier, and make buyers feel like they are being treated fairly. This request does NOT however restrict Dell's ability to have discounts for any complete system configuration.
