After desktops and servers, Dell is getting ready to unveil some cheap
notebooks based on AMD processors,
according to DigiTimes. The first machine will come early next month with a
15.4" wide-screen display and a price tag of just $449-499, and Dell will
reportedly add a 17" model in the first quarter of next year. If this report is
true, the 15.4" notebook's release will come shortly after AMD's price cuts on
its Mobile Sempron line earlier this week. Dell's 15.4-inch notebook is being
manufactured by Taiwan-based Quanta Computer while the company's 17-inch model
will by produced by Compal Electronics, the Taiwan notebook makers pointed out.
