The computer was equipped with an Intel Celeron chip and it also had a monitor and printer. This configuration would have been sold for $549.99, but it had a $450 discount. Only five PC were available in each CompUSA’s store.
This kind of offer has been made by CompUSA before and it is a new trend in this business area. Hewlett Packard offered a similar PC for $198.99. The machine had a 335 Celeron from Intel, 256MB of memory, a 40GB hard drive and a DVD-ROM. Its normal price would have been around $649.
There are hopes that this type of discounts will continue because the holidays are not so far away and another important factor is the price of the components that it continues to drop.
But there are other interest behind the new low PC prices. HP and Acer are trying to gain more market shares. Hewlett-Packard is also trying to regain lost ground to Dell. While Acer is aiming to build on its successes in the past two years that have made it the fastest-growing major PC maker in the world.
