Glass...colored light...and fake woodgrain panel from the 70s? I don't get it.
And as cheesy and kind of alienating as I may find the new Nokia store here in Chicago, at least one can, you know, *buy something* there. Good grief, Dell.
Why are the clerks from Best Buy working there? Does that mean they'll be pushing Dell extended warranties?
I bet that store will look beautiful once those batteries heat up
lame-o
I wonder what kind of lights they used to make the glowy tops on those podiums. Or is it a special glass/plexi with an ordinary lightbulb underneath?
(Yeah, I like shiny things. Sue me.)
CatMoran, I like shiny things too. Try this, though: It sounds infinitely sexier and more pretentious when you say you're "a fan of industrial design."
The blue shirt/khakis outfit must be a joke. MUST BE.
And with the beginnings of high street retail, the only reason for buying a Dell evaporates.
There are some advantages to having a branded retail outlet. But there are better and worse ways to manage such things. I hope Dell uses good theory (which would probably include not doing anything like Best Buy does). Apple stores seem to work pretty well. I thought Gateway stores also worked well, but Gateway gradually closed all its stores, which was a considerable inconvenience to me as a (former) customer. (I still feel negatively about Gateway because of that.)
You forgot the state-of-the-art fire retardant system.
