Laptop Windows 8 is expensive

Windows 8 laptop sales cannot be as hot as Microsoft and PC firms expect, a recent report revealed. And one of the reasons is that users are addicted to cheap products.

'Sales of Windows 8 laptops during the past Christmas season continue to be unimpressive. The launch of Windows 8 hasn't triggered a lot of Windows laptop sales during the holidays and saved the year-round decline , 'research firm NPD Group said.

More specifically, according to the NPD, sales of Windows laptops during Christmas 2012 fell by 11% compared to the same period in 2011. The average selling price of a Windows laptop increased by about 2 USD to 420 USD, meanwhile, the price The average sale of MacBooks increased by nearly 100 USD to 1419 USD, and MacBook sales also decreased by nearly 6%.

Analyzing these data, NPD said that an important cause for Windows computers is less attractive because the nature of this operating system has changed compared to the glorious period of Windows 7.

More specifically, Windows 7 is backed by a super cheap netbook. There was a time when netbooks really attracted users thanks to their attractive prices.

However, the netbook itself has "poisoned" the nature of Windows 7. It makes users no longer want to pay a lot of money for a Windows computer anymore. When considering a high-priced Windows PC, many people's answers are "No" .

Currently, even if the netbook has officially been killed, the implications it leaves for PC firms are still huge. Although the new Windows 8 laptop designs are far more powerful and advanced than netbooks, users still don't accept their more expensive, three hundred dollars.

This is how it is difficult for Microsoft and PC makers to overcome, if Windows 8 really wants to recover the computer market in the future. There is one factor that can turn things around, NPD points out. Currently, the demand for Windows 8 PC equipped with touch screen in the US is quite strong. Some product models have been cleaned on the shelves.

Therefore, if the supply of touch screen is more plentiful and the price of Windows 8 laptop is cheap, the sales volume will probably increase. And this is an advantage over Apple, which doesn't have a touchscreen MacBook.
