The profit amounted to 23 cents a share and was in line with the company's own guidance and analysts' forecasts.
Dell's sales in the quarter to May 2 increased to $9.5 billion, operating income increased 37%.
'Dell's unique ability is innovating, integrating and delivering technology with the best possible value, and our execution in those areas has never been better,' said chairman and CEO Michael Dell.
