Acer Forms Low-price PC Team

malware · Nov 23, 2007

Influenced by ASUS and Eee PC, Acer has begun to change its attitude toward the low-price PC market and the company recently formed a team to begin working on projects for the sector, according to Scott Lin, president of Acer Taiwan. However, Lin highlighted that the company has not yet budgeted any R&D funds for the low-end PC project and Acer will still focus on its typical notebook product lineup in 2008. To launch a low-cost PC or not is a matter of economic scale, indicated Lin, adding Acer expects global notebook shipments to reach 120 million units in 2008 with ASUSTeK Computer's Eee PC only accounting for 2-3% of the overall market. The actual market for low-cost PCs is still uncertain, Lin pointed out, and this is the major reason that the company is still considering whether to launch products. Lin also stated that the technological barriers towards developing a low-cost PC are not high and so Acer should be able to launch suitable products once the company completes its feasibility evaluations.

Acer forms low-price PC team

Does this mean that the members of this new team will have their salaries undercut as soon as they join?? that is harsh. your punishing the staff & they aint even been recruited into the team yet!!!

Taken from the source site...Acer forms low-price PC team; but no budget yet

so the members of this team are taking another undercut since Acer has no budget as yet...

how can people stand to work at such an enviroment?

(im just kidding on course & yes i know ^^^^very bad joke)

thats not always the case. Acer have always had some decent laptops/monitors going for good prices but they way you have to look at it. is that Acer isnt exactly a company that exposes itself to the market like DELL does. therefore they possibly take pride in being not as bloated.

they have loads of laptops & stuff but their pretty Mid range even their beefier models arent too good

but hell they always seem to get undercut but Dell & Asus, Apple & any other more popular laptop manufacturers.

so not as popular but still got a few decent goods to boot here n there
