Visiting Acer President to Moscow - Business News
Without exaggeration feericheskoy press conference to allocate company Acer IT-turns of events of the past week. Regularly-sounding statements from the representatives of various companies on the prospects for business development and plans to “win” at least the whole world often perceived as template PR-services. They at least sound convincing. And even if we recall that only recently were completed by solid deal to buy very large computer market players, it becomes obvious: the guys from Acer took up the case seriously and for long. Replication of the resignation of a leading position in PC sales, notebooks, monitors, handheld devices - is not just words but serious ambitions, supported by the facts now.
Statement by the President in Moscow Acer Inc. Mr. Gianfranco Lyanchi (Gianfranco Lanci) replete with impressive figures. After receiving an asset in the Gateway, eMachines and Packard Bell, Acer Company Law ranked third (9.5% market share) on sales PC (Gartner data on the 4 quarter of 2007). Acer Revenue from the first quarter of 2008 totaled 4.04 billion U.S. dollars, while net profit - 93.63 million U.S. dollars.
Visiting President himself is superfluous proof that the Russian market the company is seen as extremely promising. This is not surprising, because in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) in second place Acer Sales PCs, laptops and sales in some countries (including in Russia) - First!
Another in the Russian market has become the format of the event. Press Conference by Mr. Lyanchi obtain interesting, colorful, impressive. One only what has been furnished as a presentation of new products, deserves admiration of all. And what new items themselves?
Acer once again reminded about the development of design concepts Gemstone, appeared in May 2007. A distinctive feature of the new design notebooks in the performance of Aspire Gemstone new - a deep sapphire blue color covers and lights. Stylish appearance - this is the first of what draws attention. When considering the near Gemstone new added: futuristic multimedia sensory panel Acer CineDash, second-generation technology, Dolby Home Theater sound amplifier with Turba CineBass, multimedia indicator Enlightener.
Of course, all this was immediately translated into a real two models Aspire Aspire 8920 and 6920 - the first laptops, combining Blue Ray Disc drive, and widescreen (18.4”and 16”, respectively) Full HD LCD screens, which were presented to the public by a couple of months ago in New York.
Aspire 8920G built on Intel Centrino Core2Duo (up to 2.6 GGTS) chipset and Intel Mobile P965 Express. Of the “standard” elements of a complete set: 2 GB of DDR2 memory with expandable to 4 GB, one or two hard disks up to 320 gigabytes each, the device card reader, a web camera, Wi-Fi a / b / g / Draft-N, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, Gigabit network card, modem, scanner fingerprints. But what is worth special attention is “non-standard” equipment, which include: chic FullHD 18,4 - inch LCD monitor with 16:9 ratio of the parties, video card NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GS or 9500M GS with the volume up to 1280 MB of memory, enhancing the sound system optimized Dolby Home Theater for the five built-in speakers and a firm low frequency amplifier, a multimedia console Acer CineDash format and rewritable Blu-Ray drive with slits downloading. Weight 4.1 kg laptop. Estimated cost 50-65 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration.
Aspire 6920 - a smaller sister the previous model. In similar “domestic” has a smaller screen size - 16 inches (and also FullHD). Video - NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS with memory up to 1280 Mb. In a smaller corpus, of course, does not fit a second hard drive, but for one (up to 320 GB) enough seats. Blu-Ray disk drive - a mandatory element of the new series. Weight 3.5 kg laptop. Estimated cost 36-45 thousand rubles.
Incidentally, on the guarantee. More precisely, on warranty repairs. Difficult to believe at once, but on the application of Acer chief representative in Russia and Kazakhstan Gleb Mishina, through the development of logistics and storage of spare parts, repairs and modernization of facilities, the company would like to move closer to the “standard”, the de facto entrenched in the Motherland Acer — warranty repairs for 59 minutes. Oh, probably would! On the one hand, remembering the epic friends and acquaintances with 4 - monthly repair techniques Acer, it seems that such promises are too optimistic. But on the other hand, the lowest percentage of rejection equipment (0.3%) compared with competitors and investing in 2008, more than 20 million dollars in improving the quality of service, raised hopes for significant improvement in the situation.
