History
Since 2015, Dell has been the third-largest PC vendor in the world, behind Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard with a 16.8% market share. It is also the second-largest non-oil company in Texas, along with being the largest company in the Greater Austin area. Until October 30, 2013, it was a publicly-traded company, as well as being part of the NASDAQ-100 and S&P 500. Dell currently owns Alienware, Perot Systems, Security Software, and EMC. In July 2021, Dell stopped marketing most Alienware desktop gaming models in the states of California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington due to new energy conservation regulations.
