Acer Discount Laptops
European shoppers will enjoy many discount laptop choices from Acer this season, as the company has decided to make room in its overstocked warehouses by dumping 3 million discount laptops on the Continent. Acer decided that selling the laptops at steep discounts was better than writing them off for zero revenue.
The company will be shipping cheap laptops outside of Europe as well from its warehouses in China. Because the company is trying to get rid of the excess inventory as quickly as possible, the discounts should be significant although the prices have yet to be announced. Due to the pace of technology evolution, computer manufacturers can run into the situation frequently where they are pressured to dispose of older technology at almost any price. This time the company is blaming rising tablet popularity and decreasing netbook sales for the inventory glut.
