The Fascinating Story of Dell: The $67 Billion Gamble That Everyone Thought Was Insane.

Michael Dell built a computer company out of a University of Texas dorm room and turned it into the most efficient machine in the industry, holding three days of parts and getting paid by customers before it had to pay its own suppliers. This video explores the direct model that beat every PC maker in America, the money Intel was sending while Dell beat Wall Street twelve quarters running, the accounting case that followed, and why the founder eventually bought his own company back. This is the fascinating story of Dell's rise from a dorm room to record revenue, the collapse of the XPS name, and how the man who once said Apple should be shut down and liquidated ended up selling a laptop called the Dell Pro Max.
