“Don’t Think Different… Think Same!”
That mind-closing statement is just one from the upcoming biopic, “Michael Dell.”
When a confused and obviously new-on-the-job Dell “engineer” shows Michael Dell the latest plastic Windows PC box to emerge from the Dell “labs,” and is told to just start shipping it without even turning it on, the confused sap asks, “Bu, but, we need to make it great?”
In a nearly memorable emotional highlight, Dell responds with brutal clarity, “No! You need to make it cheap!”
Later, in the film’s most revealing line, Dell discloses his company’s entire raison d’être, the driving force behind all of its products:
“I don’t know. Doesn’t matter. Nothing matters.”
Here’s the trailer:

MacDailyNews Take: This film promises to be an uninspired and instantly forgettable waste of time and money — just like Dell products!
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “ken1w” for the heads up.]
Especially ironic since Dell has admitted it’s put security flaws into that computer. Too bad the movie is out, but who knows maybe someone will make a spoof.
You’ve got Delled dude.

has anyone watched it? it is a spoof and it’s brilliant.
Where’d they find the cross-eyed actor?
Finally!!! Someone got it right!
Nice to see Conan get his jokes on someone other than Apple for a change.
Really surprised Larry Ellison hasn’t written, produced, directed and starred in his own biopic by now.
It’s rather astounding to think of how Dell managed to take the company’s position is the #1 selling and respected Window box maker and turn the whole show into a joke.
