Gownder of Forrester Research. Some major companies decided to cope with the new trend, churning out their own low-cost laptops as well, such as Hewlett-Packard, the manufacturer behind the recently-released HP Mini-note. “Our competitors proved there’s a pretty good market,” stated HP’s notebook product manager Robert Baker.

Fujitsu, in particular, is wary about the relatively small profit margin the ULPCs offer. “It s a product that essentially has no margin,” said senior director of mobile product management Paul Moore.
