REVIEW: external media today, said the author, the Internet in this small concept low cost, has been extended to field notebooks, Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba will soon launch new laptops all adopted this strategy, and 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, price low, the idea is contagious, and this is the halo effect of the Internet. Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba on October 22 released new notebook products which 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 prices of target =" _blank "> Dell Inspiron 6000 Laptop Battery is a new situation. No matter what product you want to sell more than $ 800 U.S. is becoming increasingly difficult. "O'Donnell has a set of data also shows that the average retail price of notebooks or even lower than desktop computers, he said: "This may be some exceptions, but does not mark a kind of phenomenon."

Low-notebook HP Business cost

Let's first take a look at PC maker Hewlett-Packard situation. HP ultra-thin portable high-end business Chupin was set the price at over $ 1000 U.S.. However, this story will end on October 22, Hewlett-Packard will be 699 U.S. dollars selling ProBook 5310m notebook. Product with 13-inch monitor, thickness of 0.9 inches (about 2.3 centimeters) and weighs less than 4 lbs (1.8 kg), the display case for aluminum, magnesium base alloy shell.

Relative to HP, launched in August last year, starts at $ 1500 U.S. in terms of the EliteBook 2530p business laptop, this product about 800 U.S. dollars cheaper. The 5310m will be 699 U.S. dollars with the Intel Celeron dual-core, while the 5310m will be U.S. $ 899 with Intel Core 2 Duo. Both products will be pre-installed operating system, Windows 7.

Prices have changed. But target = "_blank"> 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., noted that this is not the Internet of this. According to the memory and hard drive configuration, the price of the product is different from a peak of $ 700 U.S.. This product with the same 13 inches, and are equipped with energy efficient Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Neo dual-core processor, and battery 6-cell battery, HP says that the longer product life can be up to 10 hours.

I worked at AMD's official sponsorship activities dm3 used laptop, the first impression is that this product is very affordable, but very strong.

Toshiba Li-fat low prices

Next, look to Toshiba. Toshiba and Sony have always been able to provide an impressive ultra-portable, but their prices are usually also a matter of raspberry. Portege R600 is a good example This 12-inch notebook starts up to 2099 U.S. dollars, the increase in solid-state drive, the price will be more than $ 3000 U.S..

Today, this price may seem ridiculous. In fact, R600 with built-in optical drive, powerful Core 2 Duo processor and a subsidiary of a number of other excellent features, but with the new Toshiba Satellite T100 series of products, but does not have much advantage, which is also a small, light, processor performance, or even slightly higher than the R600, but its price is 1,500 U.S. dollars less than R600.

Toshiba Satellite T115 notebook starts at $ 449 U.S., with dual-core Pentium SU4100, Battery up to 9 hours, weighing only 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg). T115 is not only a tremendous impact on target = "_blank"> IBM ThinkPad R40 Laptop Battery, but the Internet is a formidable challenge for this – since only $ 100 to spend I can get a notebook dual-core, why should we buy a single-core Internet access capital?

Strategy Dell price to take a two-way

Dell uses a dual strategy pricing. First of all, Inspiron 14 notebooks prices are very cheap, only U.S. $ 449, the product monitors 14 inches and Pentium dual-core processor, built-in optical drive, providing 2 GB of memory and 160 GB hard drive. In addition, there are a lot of Dell laptops low cost. But Dell is also in a great effort to expand high-priced notebook market, the company produced notebooks Adamo price of U.S. $ 2299, Latitude Z also up to $ 1800 U.S. departure.

In the low-cost, lightweight portable notebook endless stream of today, as a strategy of higher prices is able to work only time can give the answer. Of course, if attractive enough, these expensive products will always be a certain market. However, the direction future of the notebook should still be less than $ 800 U.S..
