Dell's branding has always seemed a bit clumsy to me, and it seems the Texas-based tech giant may agree. It's just announced a branding change that simplifies its core PC product tiers into three main categories—Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max.

Dell becomes the default brand, in the sense that it's designed for "play, school and work", thereby replacing the not-exactly-catchy Inspiron brand of laptops and consumer desktop computers past.
