March 22, 2007 at 21:30Dell released a budget computer for China
On Wednesday, Dell unveiled a series of low-cost PCs targeted at China. These personal computers will be priced from 2599 yuan to 3999 yuan (that is, from $ 335 to $ 520) depending on the configuration.
And the Dell EC280 (this is the name of the new product) has the following:
CRT or LCD monitor CD or DVD drive 512 MB RAM 80 GB HDD Windows XP HE
Michael S. Dell, the head of the company, says that the company is interested in supplying similar models to other emerging markets such as India and Brazil.
“We will undoubtedly look at other markets where it makes sense to offer our other products,” he told reporters.
In China, where Dell is second only to the Lenovo Group and Founder Technology, the average price for a PC is 5,000 yuan (almost $ 700). However, it will still be difficult to compete with these companies - Lenovo occupies more than a third of the market, while Dell accounts for about 9%.
Taiwanese company Quanta Computer, which manufactures PCs for Dell, HP and Apple, is also preparing to sell low-cost computers in Brazil, Argentina, Libya, Nigeria and Thailand. Intel said it has partnered with Quanta Computer to make laptops priced from $ 399 to $ 499.
