Price cuts expected for netbooks
Get ready for some netbook price cuts as we enter the fourth quarter of 2008. DigiTimes is reporting that some netbook manufacturers are planning to cut prices in order to clear out their inventory. ASUS has begun price cuts for their Eee PC in Taiwan with the popular 7 inch model dropping to NT 7,999 or $249.75 U.S. dollars. Other ASUS price cuts are as follows:
- 10 inch Eee PC 1000 with Linux will drop to below NT 17,000 or $528 U.S. dollars
- 10 inch Eee PC 1000H with Windows will see a price drop of around NT 1,000 ($31 U.S. dollars)
- 9 inch Eee PC 901 with Linux will drop from NT 17,000 to NT 15,000 ($466.52 U.S. dollars)
Acer and HP have already dropped their respective netbook models with the Acer Aspire One arguably one of the best deals for netbooks out there right now. But who knows – we might see additional price cuts down the road from these vendors if not others.
However if you’re hoping the MSI Wind will get cheaper – forget about it for now. The company isn’t planning to cut prices for the Wind since it’s been unable to lower their own manufacturing costs for the netbook. Read more about it at DigiTimes.com.
