Looks like inexpensive laptops are on their way…

MS is going to try to give Chromebooks a run for the money…

Digitimes wrote that apparently MS is working with Acer, Lenovo, and Inventec to produce $169-249 W10 notebooks.

Sounds like good news to me…and might be for the OEMs as well as profits haven’t been all that great for them…

Take a look at the articles in the Sources:

I'll be in the market for a new laptop/tablet in the near future. Lower prices is good.

I was recently given a laptop that was choked to death under the junk addons they install.... it cost me a reformat and a new copy of 7 Home Premium [long story] but for $125 AUD it's not too bad.....

...then I spent an extra $22 to get it to 4gig of ram

 

$147 AUD ....about $120 USD ...

Looks like they're going to put decent processors into them.  If they're not horribly crippled elsewhere they sure might be worth a look.

My thoughts exactly, as well
