Dave,
My bi-weekly update of PC prices in NY suburbs:
Compaq Presario: 300 MHz PII, 64MB, 8GB, DVD, 56KB, cheap 17" SVGA, cheap speakers, cheap color inkjet, cheap scanner: $1499 !
Even more amazing:
Compaq Presario: 400 MHz PII, 64MB, 12GB, DVD, 56KB, cheap 17" SVGA, cheap speakers, cheap color inkjet, cheap scanner: $2199 !!!
Note that the introductory price of the latest, high-end PC, is under $2000, without the monitor! So much for the "premium for high-end" systems that the DELL guys keep talking about.
My expectation is that the PC manufacturers are going to see an overall shrinkage in revenues this year. And I don't think DELL is going to be any exception.
