REVIEW: Foreign media today, said the author, the Internet in this small, low-cost concept has been extended to the field notebooks, Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba will soon launch new laptops all have adopted this strategy, and with Dell INSPIRON 9400 Laptop Battery new operating system Windows 7.
Following is the Text of the article:
Notebook Price is less than the desktop
Small size, low prices the idea is contagious, and this is the halo effect of the Internet. From Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba, October 22 released new notebook products that can be seen, although the performance has improved, but the mainstream and high-end notebook, prices are diving.
U.S. market research firm IDC analyst Bob O’Donnell said: “The pricing of Dell INSPIRON 6000 Laptop Battery there is a new situation. No matter what product you want to sell more than 800 U.S. dollars is becoming increasingly difficult. “O’Donnell cited a set of data also shows that the average retail price of notebooks or even lower than desktop machines, he said:” This may be some exceptions, but it does mark a kind of phenomenon. “
HP’s low-cost business notebook
Let us first take a look at the world’s largest PC maker Hewlett-Packard situation. HP’s ultra-thin high-end business notebook Chupin it has been priced at more than 1000 U.S. dollars. However, this history will end in October 22, Hewlett-Packard will be 699 U.S. dollars to sell ProBook 5310m notebook. The product with 13-inch monitor, thickness of 0.9 inches (about 2.3 centimeters) and weighs less than 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms), the display case for aluminum, magnesium alloy shell base.
Relative to HP’s released in August last year, starts at 1,500 U.S. dollars in terms of the EliteBook 2530p business laptop, this product of about 800 U.S. dollars cheaper. The 5310m will be 699 U.S. dollars with the Intel Celeron dual-core processor, while the 5310m will be 899 U.S. dollars with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Both products will be pre-installed operating system, Windows 7.
Prices had undergone changes. But the Dell INSPIRON 2500 SERIES Laptop Battery is not limited to this, there is a weight of 4 pounds of Hewlett-Packard Pavilion dm3 notebook starts at just 549 U.S. dollars, should be noted that this is not the Internet of this. According to memory and hard drive configuration, the price of the product is different from a peak of only 700 U.S. dollars. This product with the same 13-inch display, and are equipped with energy-efficient Intel Core 2 Duo processors or AMD Neo dual-core processor, and with 6-cell lithium battery, HP claims that the longest life of the product can be up to 10 hours.
I have worked in AMD’s official sponsorship of the activities dm3 used laptop, the first impression is that, this product is very handy, but very strong.
Toshiba Li-fat low-priced products
Next, look at Toshiba. Toshiba and Sony have always been able to provide an impressive ultra-portable notebook, but its prices are generally also a matter of raspberry. Portege R600 is a good example of this 12-inch notebook starts at up to 2099 U.S. dollars, if the increase in solid-state hard drive, its price will be more than 3000 U.S. dollars.
Today, this price might seem ridiculous. Indeed, R600 with built-in optical drive, powerful Core 2 Duo processor and a subsidiary of a number of other excellent features, but compared to Toshiba’s new Satellite T100 series of products, but did not have much advantage, which is also a small , it is lightweight, processor performance, or even slightly higher than the R600, but its price is 1,500 U.S. dollars lower than R600.
Toshiba Satellite T115 notebook starts at 449 U.S. dollars, with dual-core Pentium SU4100 processor, battery life up to 9 hours, weighing only 3.5 pounds (1.6 kilograms). T115 is not only a tremendous impact on the IBM THINKPAD R40 Laptop Battery, but also on the Internet pose a formidable challenge to this – since only 100 U.S. dollars to spend can get a dual-core notebook, why should we buy a single-core Internet access capital?
Dell’s pricing strategy to take a two-way
Dell uses a dual pricing strategy. First of all, Inspiron 14 notebook prices are very cheap, only 449 U.S. dollars, the product with 14-inch monitors and Pentium dual-core processor, built-in optical drive, providing 2GB of memory and 160GB hard drive. In addition, there are a lot of Dell’s low-cost notebooks. But Dell is also in great efforts to expand high-priced notebook market, the company produced Adamo notebooks priced at 2299 U.S. dollars, Latitude Z’s also up to 1800 U.S. dollars starting.
In the low-cost, lightweight portable notebook endless stream of today, such a superior pricing strategy is able to work only time can give the answer. Of course, if sufficiently attractive, these expensive products there will always be a certain market. In the meantime, the future direction of the notebook should still be below the 800 U.S. dollars.
