According to Australian publication ARN , Asus reveal a plan to increase the prices on all “ subsist and upcoming notebooks and Eee Family products ” set out March 1st — up to 20 % . But Asus … uhh … no one has any money ! UPDATE :
According to ARN , Asus is claiming that worldwide financial downturn and an growth on parts price will dictate their toll cost increase . But at least one of those point is a lilliputian tough to swallow . Samsung has been having a baffling time lately because they provide various electronic component to a multitude of companies — and the prices on these components ( like liquid crystal display ) has gone down , not up .
evidently , Asus is free to price their goods as they ’d like . But within the competitive market of netbooks especially , their client base is more concerned in saving a buck than picking up something with the Asus brand name . [ ARN ]
UPDATE : According toWired , Asus USA has traverse knowledge of such a plan . That denial does n’t altogether disprove the terms increase , however , since most of the companionship ’s decisions are made overseas .
UPDATE 2 : Asus USA has since touch us explaining the ARN article to be “ staring hypothesis , nothing more . ” They added , “ There has been no such announcement from ASUS about price hikes , period . Also , this clause is from Australia so it has no bearing on the US market at all . ”
