How long did it take Michael Dell to create his business?

By most accounts, it developed gradually. Dell was a student at the University of Texas at Austin, preparing for a career in medicine, when he began a small on-campus business, repairing computers in his dorm room and selling kits to upgrade them. The service he was offering became popular, and by January 1984, he was able to expand it. He officially began his computer business as "PC's Limited", and he sold upgraded PCs, kits, and components. That business evolved into "Dell Computer" not long afterward, and by 1986, his company was able to offer tech support by phone, one of the first to do so. By 1992, he became the youngest CEO to have his company ranked in the Fortune 500, when he was only 27 years of age.

Dell strives to make their computers match their competitors, yet with a uniqueness that will make Dell stand out just a notch above some of the rest. With a relatively affordable cost base, Dell makes their computers more valuable than what you would find in a low cost department store, yet without the extreme expense of the highest business class computers.
