Dell's outlet stores go down in US and UK

19.04.2009
Some of Dell's online outlet stores, where it sells refurbished PCs, were unable to process orders Saturday due to an apparent technical error.

Attempts to access pricing and availability for laptops and desktops were met with blank pages or a "server error" message. The problem affected Dell's outlet stores for the U.S., U.K. and Ireland.

The stores sell equipment at discounted rates and are separate from Dell's primary online stores, which appeared to be working normally.
