Some time ago, $1500 was a good price for laptops (I don’t speak here about rugged laptops since there is an other price for them due to special manufacturing conditions). $1000 was considered a bargain, but lately, the market is asking for a lot of cheap laptops, net being happy with these prices anymore. People interested in laptops ask now to spend less and less for technology. I wonder if this is an effect of prices going up generally speaking, so people look for spending less on particular items, or the technology reached a point where common usage of computers require less power, thus less money?

A few years ago, in order to run particular applications, you needed good computer power, but nowadays, technology reached a point where most applications could run very well on common computers, so people may not be that eager to spend big money for technology anymore. Thus this need for cheap laptops? Who know?

Or maybe the reason is the continuous fight for market share? Maybe price became one of the most important arguments when trying to differentiate notebooks on the market, since technology is almost the same for common usage.

Think of last years’s Assus laptop that had was only $499, well, that was a cheap but basic laptop, isn’t it? Now Asus does it again coming with the $699 ASUS Eee PC 1000H. Another one that is going to shake the market, I think.

I think that soon, a lot of notebooks manufacturers will join the race and will try to provide cheaper and cheaper notebooks with each passing day!

Seems that the game is on and the race is tough! Period! A few months ago, NEC joined the race and now ASUS comes in too! It must be good!

The laptop I speak about is the new ASUS B51E, which is MIL 810F approved which surely tells a lot about it. let’s see:

• The laptop can drop up to 75cm and still lives on! Good one!
• The drainage holes on the keyboard prevent up to 120cc of liquid from entering the internal components.
• The baby has a Magnesium-alloy chassis with rubber bumpers.Tough guy!
• High-strength protective film protects LCD from scratches so it can be operated outside, in difficult environment without any issue.
• Sponge protection system keeps harddrive from losing data due to vibration and drops. If you also add this one to the first one with dropping it from 75 cmm, we have a good solution here, I would say!

What the laptop has inside? Well, a Core 2 Duo chip, integrated Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios as well as an optional integrated Webcam, so kind of a regular laptop, isn’t it?

I don’t know anything about the price at this moment so let’s wait and see!
