Business Week recently published an article saying that due to consumers tightening their purse strings and the increasing popularity of netbooks, the computer industry might be facing a major price drop. Below is the full translation of the article: Back in 1995, Jim Wahl spent 2500 dollars on his first computer; whereas in December, this Dallas-based mergers and acquisitions manager only spent 600 dollars on a HP notebook for his daughter. Mr. Wahl said, "In the past, buying a computer was a big deal; but now, my notebook is cheaper than the tires on my car."
