Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure.

Dell Inc. (“Dell”) intends to offer a benchmark amount of notes (collectively, the “Notes”). Dell expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include, among other things, repurchase of Dell’s common stock, investments, additions to working capital, capital expenditures, advancements to or investments in Dell’s subsidiaries and acquisitions of companies and assets. The maturities and final terms of the Notes will be established at the pricing of the offering and the amounts, maturities, series and other terms of the Notes may vary from those that Dell initially offers.

Dell will offer the Notes pursuant to a prospectus relating to a shelf registration statement that was previously filed and became effective.

The prospectus and this report shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus and related prospectus supplement. Copies of the preliminary prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be obtained from Barclays Capital Inc., c/o Broadridge Integrated Distribution Services, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, NY 11717 (or by phone at 1-888-603-5847 or by e-mail at barclaysprospectus@broadridge.com). An electronic copy of the preliminary prospectus supplement, together with the prospectus, is also available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
