       NASDAQ Panel Grants Dell's Request for Continued Listing


    ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2007--Dell Inc.
(NASDAQ:DELL) today announced that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Panel has granted the company's request for continued listing on The
NASDAQ Stock Market, subject to the following conditions: The company
must provide NASDAQ with certain information regarding the previously
announced Audit Committee investigation by March 1, 2007, and file its
delinquent periodic reports, along with any required restatements of
prior financial statements, by March 14, 2007.

    The company anticipates that it will be able to provide NASDAQ
with the requested information by the March 1 deadline. The company is
working diligently to file the delinquent reports with the SEC as soon
as possible, but does not expect that it will be able to do so by
March 14. The company plans to ask the NASDAQ Listing and Hearing
Review Council for additional time to file these periodic reports, but
there can be no assurance that the Council will grant the company's
request.

events (including statements about Dell's anticipated compliance with
NASDAQ requirements for continued listing) are forward-looking
statements based on Dell's current expectations. Future outcomes may
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements because of a number of risks and uncertainties, including
the outcome of the ongoing investigations into certain accounting and
financial reporting matters that could result in management's

statements is necessary or advisable, or management's conclusion that
there is a material weakness in the company's internal controls over
financial reporting or that disclosure controls and procedures are not
effective. Additional discussion of these and other factors affecting
Dell's business and prospects is contained in Dell's periodic filings
