- Dell profit drops 33 percent in Q1, both home and corporate sales take a hit
Dell hasn’t been having the greatest of years, and the blows are still as heavy as ever in Round Rock’s fiscal Q1. Its net profit dipped a steep 33 percent to $635 million, while its overall revenue was down four points to $14.4 billion. Unlike in Q4, the PC builder couldn’t point to strong enterprise sales as its savior, either: while its enterprise services’ revenues were up two percent, its Large Enterprise group dropped by three points. Outside of small business sales and China, Dell’s segments took hits as a whole, with the consumer group down a flinch-worthy 12 percent. The Texas firm is keen to stress that it’s morphing into an “end-to-end IT provider” that downplays home sales, but without too many signs of strength in pleasing the suits and ties, we wouldn’t count on investors being happy after they read the full details below.Continue reading Dell profit drops 33 percent in Q1, both home and corporate sales take a hit

Dell | Email this | Comments - 3D printing gets more flexible with Nylon extrusion
3D printing with ABS and other plastics that have a low-melting point are old hat. And, with the price of entry dropping below the $500 mark, soon enough anyone will be able print their own pirated 45s. Instructables user [taulman] has has taken it upon himself to push the DIY polymer extruder scene in a new direction — Nylon. The slick and bendable Nylon 6 melts at 320 degrees celsius, roughly 100 degrees higher than the more common and brittle ABS. The flexible nature of nylon has some obvious advantages, particularly when printing tubing or even an iPhone case. What’s more, gears and bearings created from the synthetic don’t need to be lubricated. But, this isn’t the end game for [taulman]. The resourceful DIYer plans to keep working on his high-temperature system until he can build custom creations from Delrin and Polycarbonate. The obvious downside here, is that higher temperatures require more power and more rugged components that could drive up cost. But, we’d say it’s a small price to pay for being able to print your own Otterbox. Check out the video demos after the break.

- Cheap £149 PC and broadband bundle gives the UK something to smile about
Charitable entrepreneur Martha Lane Fox has teamed up with Microsoft, TalkTalk, and Simplify Digital to bring a cheaper option for cash-strapped folks in the UK.

Xiaomi Mi 6 receives its first Android Pie beta
Last month Xiaomi issued an official timeline for rolling out Android 9 Pie to some of its devices, and the Mi 6 was on the list, with a planned release of a beta Pie build in the second quarter of this year. Well, here we are in the second quarter, and unsurprisingly it's now out. Note that this is a beta, and as such is only a good idea to install on a phone that isn't your daily driver. You also need to be okay with the possible presence of bugs, things being broken, that sort of thing. For the general public, while this isn't useful per se, it's good as a confirmation that...
Qualcomm and Samsung will supply Apple with 5G modems in 2020
Shortly after news broke about Intel exiting the 5G modem business, Apple was forced to settle with Qualcomm and use its chips for its future iPhones. But no one said anything about Samsung being the second supplier for the Cupertino-based company. According to a report from Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst, the company will look for a second supplier and it will most likely be Samsung. This will give the company some leverage when negotiating prices and also lower its dependence on a single supplier. So in 2020, we can expect iPhones to ship with Qualcomm and Samsung chips. This also...
