Dell is to spend $10bn (£4.9bn) on buying back company shares, the first stock re-purchase for more than a year.
Buy-back plans were suspended in August 2006 due to accounting problems culminating in a US Federal probe into its quarterly results.

"Dell is committed to a long-term share repurchase program as part of an overall capital allocation plan that supports growth and also returns value to shareholders,” said chief executive Michael Dell.
