Shopping list.
Carrots, celery, milk, eggs, Dell laptop...
Doesn't just about every station with a big super suitable for selling PCs already have some kind of electric shop anyway? And how many people spontaneously buy PCs?
Coligny
People who buy PC in supermarkets are the people who consider it as a random appliance to check Email. The lucky clueless few... But in for some pain.
I'm a sysadmin, and god knows that I would be able to do the same, buying a random netappliance to check mail and browse the web without starting a new nightmare of virus/trojan/hardware incompat and so on.
Fair dinkum!
And this is news because...........???
I wonder if the next we hear about this will be Dell suing Seiyu for not selling any PCs.

Probably.

In the absence of Chinese Vegetables/food products they need to fill the vacant shelf with something and they chose Dell PCs...simple and acceptable fact.

Have you ever been to Seiyu? Seiyu is more than a supermarket. They have several different floors. First floor being the supermarket, 2nd floor clothing, 3rd floor misc. and 4th restaurants.
