    Dell is planning to outsource manufacturing of its low-cost PCs to Compal Electronics with initial shipments likely to reach up to one million units, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report citing market watchers.

    Compal and Dell teamed up for the development of a low-cost PC project last year. Products are expected to start shipping in July, added the paper.

    That's quite the assumption based on the article. I'd personally assume they're talking about low-end desktops (since it uses the term "PC").

    I believe that that Dell is planning sn EEE competitor, I read about it a while back. And since Acer and Hp have theirs, Dell isn't going to dit back and let them get all the sales.
