Acer announced the launch of their two new eMachine notebooks- the D525, on the Celeron platform and the D725, on the Pentium Dual Core platform.
eMachines has been a stand-alone brand in the US (Home Market) to be sold through retailers, e-tailers and channel partners. It was previously available in the selected markets like that of Canada, Japan, Mexico and UK. eMachines is now being launched globally as a part of the Acer’s multi-brand strategy with the Indian launch being a part of this strategy.
The Chief Marketing Officer, Acer India, S Rajendaran said, “The eMachines brand of notebooks being launched today are the right tools for work and entertainment, promising optimized performance that simplifies daily computing. It comes equipped with a simple but neat design. The unique interlink pattern that adorns the top cover also serves the practical function of being smudge-proof, a bane with most Notebooks that have a shiny top cover which is prone to scratches and impressions/smudges left behind by handling. The notebooks are LED backlit making them power efficient and they come at most competitive price points that will definitely attract the consumer looking for a good notebook at a great bargain from a reputed global brand.”
