Rember the agopc - yes they are cuttin’ prices on already low price, just $799 (looks like we are getting closer to what bill said)
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile computing company agopc today announced a new lower price for its ago7 Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC). Available exclusively on its website, http://www.agopc.com, the 512MB RAM/40GB HDD ago7 model is $799 plus shipping. “At agopc our mission is to broaden the UMPC’s appeal,” says President and CEO David Carroll. “At this price point, those new to the platform will find a high quality UMPC like ago7 very attractive.” Mr. Carroll noted that ago7 now costs nearly $200 less than an identically configured model from their competition.
As a Microsoft-spec UMPC, ago7 runs Windows XP applications commonly used on a desktop or laptop, but at less than 2 lbs it can easily be hand-held for mobile use. Standard features include a 7-inch touchscreen interface, Wi-Fi connectivity, and Bluetooth device support. Each ago7 purchase includes a one-year warranty. ago7 is available for immediate shipping from agopc.com, and for a limited time includes a flexible keyboard with every UMPC purchase.
The company’s emphasis on value includes its optional equipment, such as an airplane/car charger available on agopc.com for $59.95. “In the near future, we will have options for ago7 that allow mobile users to take full advantage of its versatility,” states Dr. LeRoy Anderson, agopc’s Chief Technological Officer.
