By Sami Menefee, Newsbytes. Besides permanent price cuts running as high as 41 percent on some items, the firm is offering several promotions until April 30. Armada notebooks come with business-related software embedded, such as Windows NT 4.0, for networking connectivity right out of the box, said Nora Hahn, Compaq spokesperson. It's part of the life cycle of the computer industry.
Prices just go down.
Newsbytes notes vendor prices generally fall either just before a new line is introduced, an old line is dropped, or when a competitor cuts its prices for similar equipment. She said the 1500 notebook series targets the value conscious business user. About the 4100 series, Hahn said these are lighter and more versatile, with fewer integrated pieces and an attachable base to add to the system when needed. This series shows the highest percentage of savings. The ArmadaStation will be discounted 50 percent when purchased with some models in the 7000 series until April 30.
