I think "very positive mention" is an exageration. MUEI is mentioned in an interview with the managers of three tech funds. Here is the excerpt: Q: Historically, consumers have wanted the biggest, fastest, brawniest PCs they could afford. But now demand seems to be at the other end of the spectrum, with a focus on price. That seems like a conundrum, not just for Intel, but for the PC industry as a whole. Wick: Well, it's a mixed bag. Some consumers will always want the highest-end system possible, with the best graphics and the best microprocessor and the best sound. It's a very strong pocket of demand for companies like Gateway 2000 and Micron Electronics. Dell, strangely enough, has seen no degradation of average selling prices; they've been able to keep prices stable by bundling in a lot of peripherals. For Compaq, though, it's an issue. They had huge unit growth in the latest quarter, but revenues grew only half as fast.
