Dell has reported a 79% slide in net profit, underlining a fall in personal computers sales as more consumers shift to smartphones and tablets.

越来越多的消费者转购智能手机和平板电脑，这导致戴尔个人电脑销量下降，净利润下降79%。

The PC maker's net profit fell to $130m (£85m) in the three months to 3 May, on revenue down 2% to $14bn.

Dell is in the middle of a dispute between founder¹ Michael Dell and two of its biggest shareholders².

Mr Dell wants to take the company private, but some investors⁴ oppose the plan.

Mr Dell, and private equity⁵ group Silver Lake, have offered to buy back the company for $24.4bn, and have pledged to shift the business away from PCs to mobile devices.

But its biggest shareholders - the investor³ Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management - have argued that the valuation of the company is too cheap, and that Mr Dell's deal is a "giveaway".

Instead, they have proposed to offer additional shares to shareholders and install mew management.

In its quarterly results, Dell said that revenue from new technologies, services and software, rose 12% to $5.5bn. That was in contrast to PC sales, which fell 9%.

The company did not issue a profit guidance for the second quarter due to the ongoing⁶ dispute. It has created a special committee of the board to study the private equity deal and alternative bids.
