Dell, in a first step toward transforming its ailing model of selling direct to consumers, said today that it would offer computers at Wal-Mart stores starting in June.

The two models of multimedia desktop computers, from Dell’s low-end Dimension line, will cost less than $700 and be in more than 3,000 stores in the United States, Wal-Mart said. The company said two models would also be available in its Sam’s Club stores and outlets in Canada.
