Acer will not enter Classmate PC market

According to PC World, Acer Has No Plan to Launch an Ultra-Low Cost PC.

Acer Inc., the world's third largest PC vendor, does not plan to launch an ultra-low cost PC nor offer versions of the ClassMate PC being promoted for developing countries.

"We're more focused on building a stronger brand image," said J.T. Wang, chairman of Acer, in an interview. He said the company's desktops will hit the price points required by developing markets without any special effort to drive down costs or develop a specific product for the market.

He also said efforts such as the XO laptop of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project are difficult because they depend on government policy and non-government organizations, which are unreliable.


I must be missing something. Isn't helping people in struggling areas a way to build a brand name?
