In an effort to put more of its PCs on retail shelves, Dell on Thursday signed up with consumer electronics retailer Best Buy to sell its desktops and laptops.
Best Buy will sell Dell's XPS and Inspiron desktops, notebooks and all-in-one PCs in more than 900 U.S. locations, Dell said in a statement.
Best Buy will stock the Dell XPS M1330, Inspiron 1521 and Inspiron 1420 notebooks, the XPS One all-in-one and Inspiron 530, 531, and 531s desktops.
The systems will reach Best Buy stores in a few weeks, though the company couldn't be reached for comment on exact availability dates.
Dell is the top PC vendor in the U.S. according to surveys by Gartner and IDC, with a slim lead over Hewlett-Packard. In a recent earnings call, Dell said it is adding more retailers to its distribution channel to generate better PC sales. Dell already sells PCs via Staples and Wal-Mart in the U.S.
Dell also distributes PCs through vendors worldwide including Carrefour in Europe and Bic Camera in Japan.
