Dell to launch sub-$500 AMD laptop next month
 

Dell recently lost the top spot in worldwide market share to competitor HP, but the company is trying to regain its spot as King of the Hill with new products featuring AMD processors.

Digitimes is reporting that contract manufacturers in Asia have confirmed that 500,000 notebooks with AMD Turion processors will be available through Dell beginning next month. Dell, always known for low prices, will try to win over the value crowd with a sub-$500, 15-inch laptop. A 17-inch model will follow next year.
