Went to my local computer store today. They'd just opened up a new barebones section for custom user-built machines.
Off to the side were stacks of pre-built mini-ITX systems. Included motherboards w/ onboard graphics installed in cases. User was to provide drives and CPU. These systems were selling for $250.
Based on rumored prices thus far, I'm worried the A1Lite will have a very hard time making a dent in this market. If I remember, prices quoted thus far were in the $300+ range, without a case. If that figure includes a CPU, then I don't expect much trouble. Otherwise... I'm not too optimistic about massmarket success.
Thoughts?
