The prospect of HP's ultra-low-price Linux computer entering the township market is unclear

HP's ultra-low-price Linux computer entered the township market, with unclear prospects-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. Installing a Linux computer is also a challenge.

A year ago, Lenovo launched a cheap computer for low-level users in villages and towns and went deep into the village-level market for sales. Last week, HP also launched a low-price computer named dx2020, the price is 1999 yuan. Haier, China, also plans to launch computers of less than 2000 yuan in the near future. In this way, after Lenovo, Haier, Dell, And the fuji2f mini computer with a 64-bit dragon core 2F processor independently developed by the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Emy of sciences, many vendors in the Chinese township computer sales market, which has not been widely developed, are ready to compete.

What does low-cost computers look like? What groups of users do they match?

HP dx2020 uses the Weisheng processor, pre-installed Linux system, configured with a 15 inch CRT display, equipped with HP waterproof drop keyboard, the price is 1999 yuan.

Lenovo and AMD have launched 1499 yuan computers with 2 GB flash memory instead of hard disks and tablet, while the display is replaced by a TV.

Dell EC280, Intel processor 205, 2599 M memory, 80 GB hard drive and 16 x DVD drive, no display, price yuan.

Fu Yu 2F6002, 64-bit dragon core 2F processor, 1800 M memory, 80 GB hard drive, price yuan.

It is not difficult to see that most computers in the 1999 RMB segment can only perform text processing, audio and video playback, Web browsing, and simple graphic editing. However, they have insufficient requirements for higher user requirements. Major manufacturers have successively launched rural computer and student computer, and the Chinese rural market is becoming the next competitor of major PC manufacturers. Low-cost computers are mainly used for low-income computers in rural areas and office groups that can control costs. This group's requirements for computers are simple and sufficient, allowing users to browse the Internet, process simple documents, and play audio and video. This configuration is sufficient for these requirements. Although Hewlett-Packard is the world's largest computer manufacturer and ranking first in the Chinese market, how does Hewlett-Packard play its brand advantage in the rural computer market, it takes some time to adapt to how to increase his influence and persuasiveness. In terms of sales agency and after-sales service, Haier is undoubtedly better than Hewlett-Packard in the rural market.

Therefore, HP's low-price computers do not have much advantage in entering the township market. In addition to increasing brand promotion, they must also improve the after-sales service. After all, the existing outlets of the gold medal service cannot be available in 3 ~ Level 6 Market. The future of HP's entry into the township computer market is still unknown.
