DELL

Dell Technologies Inc.

A maker of computers and data-center gear, Dell Technologies builds PCs, laptops, workstations, servers, storage, and networking equipment for homes, businesses, and the AI era. It was founded in 1984 when 19-year-old Michael Dell started assembling and selling IBM-compatible PCs from his University of Texas dorm room, originally under the name PC's Limited before taking his own surname. In 2016 the company merged with storage giant EMC in what was then the largest tech acquisition ever, creating today's Dell Technologies.
