In face of persistent press comment that each new development in the Japanese personal computer market will eat away at the company’s dominance of the market, NEC Corp’s mask of insouciance has finally slipped, and the company admits it will announce a move into the bargain basement end of the business by the end of the month. The price of the new product will be in the upper $1,600 range, the company said. The $2,785 PC-9801 NA notebook is NEC’s cheapest current model. Compaq Computer Corp set off the price war in Japan with its Prolineas, and other US-owned companies have been quick to follow it.
