Acer to Launch Low-Cost Notebooks in the First Half of 2008

January 16th, 2008 | Category: Laptop

Acer is going head to head with ASUS and its blockbuster Eee PC in the low-cost laptop space. Digitimes reports that Acer will get Wistron to manufacture these new notebooks. 8 and 9″ LCD displays will come from AU Optronics. It is not known whether Acer will design the laptop or whether Wistron will do the job for them.
I don’t see how Acer

will beat Asus in cost or design, given that Asus has more control by it and a good design team, but we’ll know soon suitable. that move confirms the fact that good design, small size and low-cost is the “new cool” these days.
