Acer is setting new goals and strengthening its foundation in an attempt to overtake
Hewlett-Packard as the leading seller of laptops in the world by 2011, president Gianfranco
（略）
Lanci denied media reports stating that Acer is expected to sell low-cost personal
computers in the first quarter or starting of the second quarter.
He said Acer was still working on the plan and declined to give an exact time frame.
He said all major vendors are expected to jump into low-cost PC bandwagon this year.
Acer's low-cost PCs are expected to be priced between $299-$399.
"We expect low-cost PCs to not only be attractive in emerging markets, but will also
open up the second PC market in mature markets, leading to surging growth over the
next few years," he said.

"Linux is the ideal operating system for low-cost PCs. Windows Vista cannot run on
these applications because it uses more than 1GB of memory. Vista is not the ideal
solution for these but it is good for laptops and desktops," Lanci said.（以下略）
