> Should I get the "Dell Pro Max ", the "Dell Pro Max Plus", "Dell Pro Plus", or the "Dell Premium"?

I thought you were joking, but these do seem to be options in the new, simpler branding!

It's designed to make the basic option still sound special.

People on a budget don't want to be presented with the option of the Dell Basic, the Dell Standard, and the Dell Premium.

At the other end of the spectrum you have people booking Basic Economy airline fares, and at least in several cases, willfully ignoring the fare conditions (specifically, non-assigned seating), and then showing up at the gate, "My wife and I and our three children all need to be in the same row."
