Intel wants to limit netbooks to the 300EUR price range

FUD Zilla reports Intel isn't too happy with the netbook market, as more and more vendors are introducing systems that cost as much as a real entry-level notebook:The big problem is that notebook sales are beginning to suffer at the hand of netbooks, and Asus and MSI want to charge consumers €550 and €699 for Atom based Macbook Air replicas, which is basically the price of a real notebook
The bottom line is that Intel’s average selling prices are doomed due to the recession, and they simply have to go down as Intel makes less money on a $70 Atom then on a $200 Core 2 mobile CPU. Intel wants to limit Atom based netbooks to the €300 price range, while partners want to sell them for as much as they can.
