With the new Vostro line-up for emerging markets, Dell is positioning itself to gain more worldwide market share against competitors such as Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo, an IBM spin-off which is based on China. Dell's new international PCs will be available in October through channel partners as well as direct in 20 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, Mechaca said this week. Actually, though, Dell is already selling select Vostro models directly into various overseas markets. In a quick search of Dell's international Web sites, BetaNews found all of Dell's existing Vostro laptop and desktops on the UK site. Yet only two of the Vostro desktop PCs showed up on the site for Spain.
