PC world has confirmed the Dell products it will be selling through its stores, following its deal with the manufacturer.

Initially, PC World will be stocking the Inspiron 1520, the XPS M1330, M1530 and M1730, all featuring Core 2 Duo processors, dedicated Nvidia graphics cards and hard disks ranging in size from 160GB to 320GB.

All the models are available from PC World's dedicated website, though they lack the customisation options offered when bought direct from Dell. Despite that, prices on the website appear comparable, with a similarly specified M1730 available for around £1,700 on both sites.

Oddly, the Inspiron 1520 appears to have been dropped from the Dell website, though the PC maker was unavailable for comment concerning its absence at the time of writing.

Dell announced the tie-up with DSG in December, essentially nailing the final nail in the coffin of the direct sales method it pioneered. The move into high street sales appears to have rejuvenated the company, which posted solid results in its fourth quarter earnings.
