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.
