Computer Price War underway, and WE all win!
Dell has been QUITE SUCCESSFUL in its attempt to win the hearts and minds -- and wallets -- of the computer-buying public, to the extent that one in four PCs purchased today is a Dell. One of the big losers in this has been Gateway, whose sales nose-dived. Now, Gateway has decided to regain this lost market share any way they can. Among these ways: advertising. Expect to see a flood of Gateway commercials on TV (I saw my first tonight). Also among these ways: PRICE CUTS. Gateway is going head to head with Dell on pricing, and Dell is sure to respond. And with these two 500# gorillas both cutting prices to the bone, the other "me, too" players will have to come along... as will the ma and pa system builders. They won't be able to sell their system for $1,200 when a comparable Dell can be had for $600!
