Intel cheap laptops expanding to U.S., Europe
Intel Corp said on Wednesday sub-$300 laptops initially designed for poor children will soon be available to U.S. and European consumers in a move that could further push down computer prices.
PC makers in the United States and in Europe will sell a yet-to-be-unveiled, second-generation version of the Intel-designed Classmate PC for $250 to $350, said Lila Ibrahim, general manager of Intel's emerging market platform's group, in an interview with Reuters.
"This is a very big deal," said Laura Didio, an analyst with Yankee Group who follows the personal computer industry.
