What products do you sell on DELL.uk.com?
We offer the best selection of DELL consumer and commercial products and services and also other brands that complement our products so you can get a complete solution for you or your business in one place!
-
Ready-to-ship: We carry ready-to-ship products (laptops, desktops, workstations, printers, ink, toner, paper, accessories) that typically ship out from our warehouses on the same day of order placement if accepted before our published order cutoff time. Ready-to-Ship laptops, desktops and workstations can be added to your cart directly and do not have a configuration step. Simply click “Add to cart”.
-
Built at order: Customize! Most of our laptops, desktops and workstations are available with customization options for you to select the best configuration that meets your needs. As a result, these systems have a lead-time prior to shipment from our factories. Select “Customize & buy”, make the component changes you want and click “Add to cart”. Even if you change nothing and stick with our standard configuration, these systems enter the build process once you place your order. There is a lead time due to several factors including component supply, order volume and general processing time. Please check the “Ships on” date shown under the product image while configuring. Once in your cart, your computer will display the “Estimated ship date” directly under the product name and links to view/edit customization and return policy. When selecting a shipping speed, please note shipping starts once your computer is built and shipped. Please allow 1 additional business day for clearing U.S. Customs.
-
Lead-time: Other products we carry, while not built at order or customizable, do have a lead-time in order to be sourced to our warehouse and then shipped out to you. These are either products that are currently on backorder, newly released products on pre-order, or low volume/limited supply products that require an order to source them.

Why does my laptop/desktop/workstation have a lead time/Estimated Ship Date?

Please note that if any of our Ready-to-Ship products reflects a lead time, this is due to being either on backorder or preorder.
What is backorder?
Backorder means that we are accepting orders for a product, even though the product is not yet available in our inventory but is expected very soon. Therefore, there is a short lead-time and orders placed will by that later date shown. The expected ship date is shown on the product page and in the cart, once added.

PowerMax Innovations Boost AI-Powered Efficiency, Cybersecurity and Multicloud Agility
In today's fast-paced digital world, companies need IT
solutions that keep pace with their demands and anticipate future needs.
Today, we’re announcing significant enhancements to Dell PowerMax that improve AI-driven efficiency, increase cyber resiliency, and deliver seamless multicloud mobility. These new capabilities for PowerMax, our continuously modern, highly secure storage solution optimized for mission-critical workloads, make it easier than ever for customers to keep pace with changing business demands.
AI-Driven Efficiency for Mission-Critical Workloads
In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses need storage solutions that keep pace with their demands and anticipate future needs. That’s where the power of artificial intelligence comes in. This release offers customers a range of AI-powered benefits that can help optimize performance, reduce management overhead, and prevent incidents before they occur through:
- Performance optimization: We are using AI to accelerate performance with dynamic cache optimization through pattern recognition and predictive analytics, reducing latency and increasing speed with no management overhead.
- Predictive and proactive management: Autonomous health checks with intelligent threshold settings provide corrective actions and self-healing capabilities, addressing issues before they arise (e.g. storage capacity levels, loose cabling).
- Automated network fabric performance optimization (FPIN): PowerMax quickly identifies Fibre Channel network congestion (slow drain) and isolates root cause resulting in up to 8x faster incident resolution¹.
- Infrastructure optimization: Dell’s AIOps Assistant, equipped with Gen AI natural language queries, enables fast and easy infrastructure optimization.
Improved Efficiency
The latest release also introduces 92% RAID efficiency (RAID 6 24+2) to improve overall storage efficiency and industry-leading power and environmental monitoring capabilities².
Customers can now track power usage at three levels: the array, the rack and the data center to improve power efficiency, manage energy costs, and effectively reduce energy consumption.
Enhancing Cyber Resiliency
In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, cyber resiliency is critical for all customers. PowerMax adds new cybersecurity features to increase the protection of customer data, reduce attack surfaces, and recover quickly from cyber-attacks with:
- Cyber Recovery Services for PowerMax: Dell’s new Professional Service offers robust protection against cyberattacks. Using a secure PowerMax vault and granular data protection, this tailored solution ensures quick and efficient recovery while helping customers achieve stringent compliance goals.
- YubiKey multifactor authentication: Provides a strong and convenient security solution, offering enhanced protection against unauthorized access and simplifying the user authentication process.
Superior Performance at Scale
PowerMax continues to set the standard for high performance at scale, providing the headroom necessary for both current and future needs. Today’s announcement adds:
- Up to 30% IOPS performance boost with PowerMax 8500³
- Up to 3x faster GbE connectivity with new 100Gb Ethernet I/O modules4
- Up to 2x faster FC connectivity with new 64Gb Fibre Channel I/O modules5.
In addition to these significant enhancements, Storage Direct Protection for PowerMax’s integration with PowerProtect enables efficient, secure, and ultra-fast data protection, delivering up to 1PB per day backups6 and 500TB per day restores7.
Achieve Multicloud Agility
In the evolving digital landscape, multicloud agility is essential for maximizing resource utilization, reducing costs, and adapting swiftly to change. This release helps customers achieve:
- Seamless multicloud data mobility: Dell now offers simple options to move live PowerMax workloads to and from APEX Block Storage, the industry’s most resilient and flexible cloud storage8—while simultaneously performing multi-hop OS conversions to modernize those workloads in one smooth process.
- Scalable cloud backups and restores: Storage Direct Protection for PowerMax delivers simple, secure, and efficient data protection that empowers customers to choose the best backup destinations. By seamlessly integrating with major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba, APEX Protection Storage enables customers to avoid vendor lock-in and select the cloud vendor that aligns with their unique requirements.
- Simplified consumption model: With Dell APEX Subscriptions, customers pay for what they use and streamline invoicing, billing, and capacity usage monitoring for better forecasting and scaling. This model eliminates the need for large upfront capital investment, providing a modern consumption experience while simplifying lifecycle management.
Mainframe Innovation
PowerMaxOS 10.2 improves IOPS performance and reduces latency for unbalanced mainframe workloads, enhances cyber intrusion detection for mainframe (zCID) with auto-learning access pattern detection, and leverages IBM’s System Recovery Boost for faster recovery during planned or unplanned outages.
