Linux preferred over Microsoft Windows by Acer
Posted by Daniel in BLOGROLL, MARKETING, MEDIA
We reported yesterday how open source is becoming more of a favorite by the end user and as money and budgets get tighter for the public this will only increase. Linux has been said to be preferred over Microsoft Windows by Acer, this will include the fact that a Linux laptop can be sold for less.
Cheap Laptops reported “Gianpiero Morbello, Vice President of Marketing for Acer has said that his Taiwanese PC maker is to develop the market for Linux, not just for its low cost ultra-portable but for the companies’ laptops as well; the reason given is due to the cost and operation of the Microsoft OS over open-source Linux”.
With this in mind, are you happy to buy a Linux laptop instead of a Windows machine?
We also heard that On Tuesday, Acer officially unveiled their entry into the low cost mini-laptop market by launching their Aspire One, which will come with both Windows XP and Linux. The Acer Aspire One price begins at $379 so it makes sense to cut costs as much as possible. The attraction for this is not only the cost but also the expectancy of a full-featured mini-laptop.
Some users also find Linux a faster software platform to boot up; the problem comes with people getting use to Linux rather than Windows.
