Asustek Computer Inc is tapping into the market for budget notebook PCs with a slew of Intel’s Classmate PC platform-based products scheduled for launch in the second half of the year, Taipei Times reports.
“Tech giants such as Intel Corp don’t want to miss out on the potential of the budget PC segment, and we are working with [Intel] to tap into the market,” confirmed an Asustek official.
Details of these budget laptops, including channels and distribution, still need to be ironed out, but they would not be Asustek’s main product line, he added.
The Commercial Times previously reported the five budget laptop models would be priced from US$199 to US$549 and will employ Intel’s Solid State Disk with flash memory from 1 gigabyte to 40 gigabytes, instead of the standard mechanical hard drive, as well as 7-inch displays.
