Acer to launch low-cost notebooks by Q2

From Digitimes -

A Chinese-language Commercial Times is reporting that Acer plans to launch low-cost notebooks with 8" and 9" LCDs by Q2 of this year, with the products priced to compete directly with the Eee PC.

Acer will outsource the production of its low-cost notebooks to Wistron, while purchasing LCD panels from AU Optronics (AUO), a supplier of Asus for its Eee PC line.
