The Acer’s 8.9-inch low-cost PC or Asus EeePC competitor is expected to be priced around US$50 less than the free on board(FOB) price of Asustek Computer’s second-generation Eee PC.

With the company’s large economy of scale, Acer has set the FOB price of its low-cost PC at US$250-300, while the market ASP (average selling price) is estimated will be around US$350-400.

Asustek has decided not to engage in a price competition with Acer and has set the FOB price of its 8.9-inch second-generation Eee PC at around US$300-350, while the market ASP should fall between US$400-500, added the sources

However, Asustek might launch its 8.9-inch Eee PCs earlier in April this year in order to gain advantage in an earlier release time.

Again, the more cheaper price we get, the more advantages for consumers.
