O CEO da Acer, JT Wang, que na quarta-feira passada apelou à Microsoft para que esta repensasse sua entrada no mercado de tablets, disse que a empresa norte-americana já trabalha na minimização do impacto do Surface sobre os produtos de parceiros: o preço.
De acordo com o site asiático DigiTimes, Wang procurou a Microsoft para discutir uma estratégia que não exclua os fabricantes de hardware do mercado.
Na opinião de Wang, um modelo a US$ 199 causaria "um impacto grande negativo" no mercado. Já um aparelho entre US$ 499 e US$ 599 seria "mais ameno".
Hoje, o líder de mercado iPad custa a partir de US$ 499.
Com previsão de lançamento em outubro deste ano, o Surface foi alvo de declarações fortes de Wang na semana passada.
Segundo o jornal Financial Times, o executivo chegou a dizer que a "Microsoft não era muito boa" na produção de tablets, e deveria "pensar duas vezes antes do lançamento".
Conforme o DigiTimes, as declarações de Wang desencadearam especulações sobre o futuro da relação entre a Acer e a Microsoft no segmento de tablets.
A Microsoft ainda não comentou o oficialmente o preço dos tablets Surface.
The CEO of Acer, JT Wang, who passed on Wednesday called on Microsoft to rethink this entry in the tablet market, said the U.S. company is working to minimize the impact on the Surface partner products: the price.
According to the Asian site DigiTimes, Wang turned to Microsoft to discuss a strategy that does not exclude hardware manufacturers in the market.
According to Wang, a $ 199 model would cause "large negative impact" on the market. Already a handset between $ 499 and $ 599 would be "milder".
Today, the market leader iPad starts at $ 499.
Scheduled for release in October this year, the Surface was targeted by strong statements of Wang last week.
According to the Financial Times, the executive went on to say that "Microsoft was not very good" in the production of tablets, and should "think twice before launch."
According to DigiTimes, Wang's statements triggered speculation about the future of the relationship between Microsoft and Acer in the tablet segment.
Microsoft has not officially commented on the price of tablets Surface.
