This is bad in the short term for Bitcoin. Because Dell uses Coinbase(instead of accepting and keeping Bitcoin directly), coinbase will need to eventually sell the BTC to cover the USD they gave to Dell. This is why the price is dropping. Then people start to panic and sell as well.

But in order to spend BTC people need to buy if first, so basically there's no real "bad impact" to BTC's price here...

I'm holding long term so this is a nice news, it's true that in the short term the selling pressure will rise a little but the adoption will increase at the same time.

I've always liked Dell. A 10% discount is pretty good and a great incentive to use the coins. How long does this offer last? I could do with a new PC or laptop.

I think it is a great news https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/492347634682576896
Dell offering 10% discount when purchasing Alienware with Bitcoin. Hope they spread this to other Dell products.

So Alienware now accepts Bitcoin! https://twitter.com/Alienware/status/492351443899138048
I know this would make sense as Alienware is Dell.
