Le Figaro reports today that sales for personal computers are totally booming in France, with an expected 10 million units sold this year. And half of these should be laptops, whose average price has gone down from 860 to 650 Euros. "Traditional sellers such as HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo and Apple are meeting costs in dollars: their production of PCs is mostly in China and Taiwan." explains the news-site. Add to that a strong Euro, and the market is ebullient.
There is also a charming quote from the president of Intel: "In spite of economic problems in the U.S., our business is so international that we detect no slowing in the sale of P.C.s."
Experts here seem to be arguing against buying cheap mini-laptops. I wonder why...
Gotta go, I still have another article to read about how well IBM is doing!
