New year, new strategies. There we reported yesterday, the merger of industry and ultrabook Acer netbook, but apparently not the only new for this 2012.

The manufacturer of Taiwan is preparing to launch a targeted attack ultrabook the market, with a range of models including a more affordable price range between $ 699 and $ 799 (exchange rate € 550-600), well below the typical prices this niche products very easily share exceeds $ 1000.

President Jim Wong also said to be adopted a new pricing policy "passive", ie it will not be affected directly by competitors and demand.

Recall that by definition a ultrabook notebook is a thin (less than 21 mm) and light (less than 1.4 Kg) with a chassis generally in aluminum or magnesium, with a range of 5-8 h and an SSD. Who knows what will cut Acer to justify such low prices.
