I saw noise in the tech news that some suppliers might be having
issues due to the natural disasters over there. And some suppliers
prolly will. But other suppliers also exist. These kind of things
are hard to predict.
But it's also Dell's end-of-quarter right now. Like most companies
that gauge quarterly sales, Dell will flat out lie to make a sell at
EoQ. So you can't trust them on this.
On the third hand, Dell is very big on just-in-time supply chain and
manufacturing, so minor fluctuations in their supply chain can have a
big impact.
