Look out, folks. If you’re a I’ll-buy-that-only-if-it’s-made-in-America type of person, you may be out of luck because the founder of Acer, Stan Shih, says that computer brands based in the US will be gone in 20 years.
“The trend for low-priced computers will last for the coming years, but US computer makers just don’t know how to put such products on the market. US computer brands may disappear over the next 20 years, just like what happened to US television brands.”
Acer passed Dell to take the second spot in the largest computer manufacturer last year and it’s said that they will overcome HP in 2011.
