CES 2009: Netbooks for Sale at Marks & Spencer

Elonex will sell low-cost netbooks at Marks & Spencer and Next, bringing these ultracheap machines to a whole new outlet.

Elonex is a British manufacturer, so the partnership is attractive during the current economic climate: one can buy a British-made computer from a British-owned store, spending less than one would for a low-end mobile phone. This is a good move, since higher-priced netbooks overlap market-wise with lower-priced fullsized laptops.

When I think of Marks and Sparks, I think socks and licorice allsorts.

Elonex, a small British computer maker, will start selling its ‘net books’ in the two fashion chains from February, in an attempt to win over a new generation of female shoppers to cheap computers.

It will make its announcement later this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, stealing a march on its far larger rival Sony, which is widely expected to say on Thursday is entering the increasingly fierce ‘net book’ market later today.

This is definitely a good move for both companies. Just hope the product quality is as good as the partnership.
