Apple unveils new Power Macs, distribution strategy Reuters Story - November 10, 1997 14:30 %DPR %US %ENT AAPL DELL V%REUTER P%RTR CUPERTINO, Calif, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. on Monday introduced dramatic changes in the way it designs, builds and sells its computers, starting with a new generation of Power Macintosh computers. The Cupertino, Calif.-based computer maker introduced a next-generation family of Power Macs called the Power Macintosh G3, based on the fastest available PowerPC processors with increased performance and at a lower cost, starting at around $2,000. Apple said it also launched The Apple Store as part of its new distribution strategy, using the Internet along with existing distributors to sell its products. It also unveiled a new manufacturing strategy to make systems on a build-to-order basis for The Apple Store customers. Apple said its new G3 series, which will be included in a new PowerBook laptop also introduced Monday, has a simplified design to streamline manufacturing so that its computers can be built just in time to exact customer specifications. Apple has been losing market share to other personal computer makers, such as Dell Computer Corp., which have been making PCs on a made-to-order basis for their customers and marketing directly to users. "We're opening things up and giving our customers what they've been asking for," said Steve Jobs, Apple's interim chief executive officer. "Apple's listening. We're making changes."
