BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Dell Inc. (Dell) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes filed with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Dells Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended January30, 2009. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of Dell and its consolidated subsidiaries at October30, 2009, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended October30, 2009, and October31, 2008, and its cash flows for the nine months ended October30, 2009, and October31, 2008. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in Dells Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended October30, 2009, and October31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the authoritative body for financial accounting and reporting in the United States. On July31, 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) became the authoritative source of accounting principles to be applied to the financial statements of nongovernmental entities prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following is a list of recent pronouncements issued by the FASB: Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Business Combinations:The pronouncement requires the acquisition method of accounting be applied to a broader set of business combinations and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired. Dell adopted the pronouncement in the first quarter of Fiscal 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact on Dells Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at the time of adoption, but the pronouncement will impact the accounting for acquisitions subsequent to that date, including Dells acquisition of Perot Systems Corporation (Perot Systems) on November3, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the Perot Systems acquisition will have on Dells consolidated financial statements. See Note13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Equity and other securities primarily relate to investments held in Dells Deferred Compensation Plan, which are classified as trading securities. These securities are reported at fair value (based on quoted prices and market observable inputs) using the specific identification method. All other investments are initially recorded at cost and reduced for any impairment losses. The fair value of Dells portfolio is affected primarily by interest rate movements rather than credit and liquidity risks. Dell attempts to mitigate interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks by investing primarily in high credit quality securities with AAA and AA ratings and short-term securities with an A-1 rating, limiting the amount that can be invested in any single issuer, and investing primarily in shorter term investments whose market value is less sensitive to interest rate changes.

Financial Services [Abstract] | |
FINANCIAL SERVICES | NOTE5 FINANCIAL SERVICES Dell Financial Services L.L.C. Dell offers or arranges various financing options and services for its business and consumer customers in the U.S.through Dell Financial Services L.L.C. (DFS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell. DFSs key activities include the origination, collection, and servicing of customer receivables related to the purchase of Dell products. New financing originations, which represent the amounts of financing provided to customers for equipment and related software and services through DFS, were $0.9billion and $1.0billion, during the three months ended October30, 2009, and October31, 2008, respectively, and $2.6billion and $3.3billion for the nine months ended October30, 2009, and October31, 2008, respectively. Financing Receivables The following table summarizes the components of Dells financing receivables: October30, January30, 2009 2009 (in millions) Financing receivables Customer receivables Revolving loans $ 1,185 $ 963 Fixed-term leases and loans 736 723 Subtotal 1,921 1,686 Customer receivables previously unconsolidated 499 - Allowance for losses (182 ) (149 ) Customer receivables, net 2,238 1,537 Residual interest 257 279 Retained interest 134 396 Financing receivables, net $ 2,629 $ 2,212 Short-term $ 2,318 $ 1,712 Long-term 311 500 Financing receivables, net $ 2,629 $ 2,212 Customer Receivables The following is the description of the components of Dells customer receivables: Revolving loans offered under private label credit financing programs provide qualified customers with a revolving credit line for the purchase of products and services offered by Dell. Revolving loans bear interest at a variable annual percentage rate that is tied to the prime rate. Based on historical payment patterns, revolving loan transactions are typically repaid on average within 12months. Revolving loans are included in short-term financing receivables in the table above. From time to time, account holders may have the opportunity to finance their Dell purchases with special programs during which, if the outstanding balance is paid in full by a specific date, no interest is charged. These special programs generally range from 3 to 12months. Dell enters into sales-type lease arrangements with customers who desire lease financing. Leases with business customers have fixed terms of two to five years. Future maturities of minimum lease payments at October30, 2009, for future fiscal years are as follows: 2010 - $91million; 2011 $249million; 2012 $160million; 2013 $49million; and 2014 $4million.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | NOTE6 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill Goodwill allocated to Dells business segments as of October30, 2009, and January30, 2009, and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows: Large Small and Enterprise Public Medium Business Consumer Total (in millions) Balance at January30, 2009 $ 677 $ 411 $ 354 $ 295 $ 1,737 Adjustments 6 2 - 3 11 Balance at October30, 2009 $ 683 $ 413 $ 354 $ 298 $ 1,748 Goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are tested annually during the second fiscal quarter and whenever events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses, an impairment charge would be recorded. Based on the results of its annual impairment tests during the first half of Fiscal 2010, Dell determined that no impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets existed at July31, 2009. Further, no triggering events have transpired since July31, 2009, that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill as of October30, 2009. Dell does not have any accumulated goodwill impairment charges as of October30, 2009. The goodwill adjustments are primarily the result of contingent purchase price considerations related to prior period acquisitions and the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Severance Costs and Facility Actions In Fiscal 2008, Dell announced a comprehensive review of costs that is currently ongoing. Since this announcement and through the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2010, Dell has reduced its headcount and closed or sold certain Dell facilities. Results of operations for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2010 include net pre-tax charges of $123million and $395million, respectively, for these actions, which is comprised of $22million and $259million, respectively, related to headcount reduction and $101million and $136million, respectively, related to facility actions. In the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2009, costs related to severance and facility action expenses were $17million and $148million, respectively. As of October30, 2009, and January30, 2009, the accrual related to these cost reductions and efficiency actions was $180million and $98million, respectively, which is included in accrued and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Cash paid related to these actions was $69million and $248million in the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2010, respectively. Approximately $160million of the accrual related to these actions is expected to be paid in the next twelve months. Restricted Cash Pursuant to an agreement between Dell and CIT Group Inc., Dell is required to maintain escrow cash accounts that are held as recourse reserves for credit losses, performance fee deposits related to Dells private label credit card, and deferred servicing revenue. Restricted cash in the amount of $141million and $213million is included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at October30, 2009, and January30, 2009, respectively. Legal Matters Dell is involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time-to-time in the ordinary course of its business, including matters involving consumer, antitrust, tax, intellectual property, and other issues on a global basis. While Dell does not expect that the ultimate outcomes in these proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, the results and timing of the ultimate resolutions of these various proceedings are inherently unpredictable. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation, or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material effect on Dells business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, will depend on a number of variables, including the nature, timing, and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages or other remedies or consequences. Dell accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. Dell reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and ot |

Income and Other Taxes [Abstract] | |
INCOME AND OTHER TAXES | NOTE10 INCOME AND OTHER TAXES Dells effective income tax rate was 34.5% for the third quarter of Fiscal 2010, as compared to 28.0% for the same quarter in the prior year. For the first nine months of Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009, the effective tax rate was 29.3% and 25.9%, respectively. The increases in the effective income tax rate for the respective periods are primarily due to a shift of profit mix toward higher tax jurisdictions. The Fiscal 2009 income tax rate also reflects decreases in uncertain tax positions resulting from the favorable settlement of an examination in a foreign jurisdiction. The differences between the estimated effective income tax rate and the U.S.federal statutory rate of 35% principally result from Dells geographical distribution of taxable income and differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items. The income tax rate for Fiscal 2010 will be impacted by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated. Dell is currently under income tax audits in various jurisdictions, including the United States. The tax periods open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which Dell is subject include fiscal years 1997 through 2010. As a result of these audits, Dell maintains ongoing discussions and negotiations relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these various jurisdictions. Dells U.S.Federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2007 through 2009 are under examination. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a Revenue Agents Report for fiscal years 2004 through 2006 proposing certain assessments primarily related to transfer pricing matters, which Dell has protested in accordance with IRS administrative procedures. Dell anticipates this audit will take several years to resolve and believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to the matters under audit. However, should Dell experience an unfavorable outcome in this matter, it could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Although the timing of income tax audit resolutions and negotiations with taxing authorities are highly uncertain, Dell does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits within the next 12months. Dell takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates and has received certain non-income tax assessments from various jurisdictions. Dell is also involved in related non-income tax litigation matters in various jurisdictions, some of which could be material to Dell. Dell believes its positions in these non-income tax litigation matters are supportable, a liability is not probable, and that it will ultimately prevail in the judicial court system. However, significant judgment is required in determining the ultimate outcome of these matters. In the normal course of business, Dells positions and conclusions related to its non-income taxes could be challenged and assessments may be made. To the extent new information is obtained and Dells views on its positions, probable outcomes of assessments, or litigation change, changes in estimates to Dells accrued |

Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE | NOTE11 EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Dell excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive. Accordingly, certain stock-based incentive awards have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share totaling 206million shares and 245million shares for the third quarters of Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2009, respectively; and 228million shares and 253million shares during the nine months ended October30, 2009, and October31, 2008, respectively. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended October30, 2009, and October31, 2008: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October30, October31, October30, October31, 2009 2008 2009 2008 (in millions, except per share amounts) Numerator: Net income $ 337 $ 727 $ 1,099 $ 2,127 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding: Basic 1,956 1,953 1,953 1,993 Effect of dilutive options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, and other 10 4 6 5 Diluted 1,966 1,957 1,959 1,998 Earnings per common share: Basic $ 0.17 $ 0.37 $ 0.56 $ 1.07 Diluted $ 0.17 $ 0.37 $ 0.56 $ 1.06 |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On November3, 2009, Dell completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the ClassA common stock of Perot Systems, a worldwide provider of information technology and business solutions, for $3.9billion in cash. This acquisition is expected to provide customers a broader range of smartly delivered IT services and solutions and better position Dell for its own immediate and long-term growth and efficiency. Perot Systems will be integrated into primarily the Large Enterprise and Public segments for external segment reporting purposes. Because the acquisition has recently closed, Dell has not yet completed the purchase accounting and initial purchase price allocation. As of September30, 2009, Perot Systems reported stockholders equity of $1.5billion and tangible assets of $1.2billion. Dell expects to complete the purchase accounting and initial purchase price allocation in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010. Acquisition costs, including compensation related costs, will be expensed in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010. Dell has evaluated subsequent events and updated the financial statements for events through December3, 2009. |
