Dell strategy is all about outsourcing production now. That is the reason behind that sale. And they can't close that fab because they've received public help to build it and are tied by deals with the city.

So first, they axe all jobs in ireland and build a plant in poland, now they hand that plant over to foxconn?

Is Dell in serious money trouble? At least the combination foxconn + poland sounds bad for the future of any quality product and not like a good move.

Yes, this is the same Foxconn that kills on behalf of Apple.

Also, I've never been a big fan of foxconn either. Their product quality is lacking. Their previous fiasco with Linux & ACPI tables didn't earn them any bonus points either.

Is this the same Foxxconn that kill on behalf of Apple?

Never been a fan of Dell nor Foxconn - the latter due to the noticeable amount of kit based on Foxconn boards that has developed early life failures.

Sounds like a recipe for a lot more returns.
