04.03.2009AMD to Detail Netbook Strategy Next Month
Advanced Micro Devices will lay out its product strategy for small, low-cost laptops, called netbooks, at an analyst meeting next month.
Netbook sales have soared in recent months, largely due to the release of Intel's low-cost Atom processor. Although Taiwanese chip vendor Via
Technologies, which provides the C7 processor used in Hewlett-Packard's Mini-Note 2133 netbook, has a foothold in this market, Intel hasn't
faced any competition from AMD in this space. But that appears set to change.
"We do have strategies together with our OEMs for pushing
our solutions both down into smaller form factors and lower notebook price points," said Dirk Meyer, AMD's president and CEO, during a Thursday
conference call with financial analysts.

07.07.2009HP and Acer Start Netbook Price War
Hewlett-Packard and Acer have lowered prices of their netbooks as the back-to-school sales season kicks into gear in the U.S., offering bargains for
users. Acer slashed prices on its Aspire one netbooks on Friday to as low as US$329 for one version, while HP revealed new prices for Mini-Notes
on its Web site.
Price-cutting by the two big PC vendors could prompt other netbook makers, such as Asustek Computer and Micro-Star
International to follow. Netbooks are mini-laptop PCs designed for mobility, and typically weighing less than 2 kilograms. Most of the components on
board, including the microprocessor, are less powerful than those of full-fledged laptops so batteries last longer. They're designed for Internet
surfing and work on spreadsheets or word processor documents, not for heavy duty gaming, video editing or other multimedia work.
