Suddenly, Amazon Doesn't Love Its Moms Anymore
Dell, Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) is going to be testing new waters soon. Since trying to become a loss leader within consumer laptop PCs in the last year, the second-largest seller of PCs worldwide (for now) will be introducing a $99 netbook PC soon. Netbooks are really just miniature laptops that feature lower power and lower performance specifications, but are ultimately portable. This new category of PCs was the hit of the last part of 2008, and many industry watchers consider the netbook category to be the hot growth prospect for PCs in 2009.
But a $99 offering? How is that possible? Well, it's based on the same principle as the cellular phone industry. Those who shell out $99 soon for a Dell Inspiron netbook PC will also be required to sign up for a two-year wireless data plan through AT&T, Inc. (NYSE: T) at a total cost of $350. So, in the end, they'll pay roughly $450 for that new Dell netbook.
