Smaller, cheaper laptops shine at Taiwan trade fair
Netbooks, or low-cost PCs at around a quarter of the price of a regular notebook have scored heavily at this year's Computex trade fair in Taiwan. PC makers such as Acer Inc. and Asustek Computer are hoping to open up a new market and boost profits for PC makers as an economic slowdown curbs spending.
Market leaders Hewlett-Packard and Dell are expected to follow suit with similar ultra-portable models in the second half of the year, analysts said.
Some analysts say these low-cost computers, which range from 7-10 inches and weigh about 1 kilo, could end up replacing regular notebook PCs, but they agree these new PCs have also opened up the computer market to more first-time buyers.
