For Cyber Monday, Intel is enlisting consumers to help drive down prices of three popular notebooks, via Facebook.
The “Intel Fan Plan” page on Facebook urges consumers to sign up as “fans” of three thin-and-light notebooks: the Toshiba T135, the Acer Timeline 3810T, and the Asus UL50Ag. All fall into the inexpensive notebook segment without explicitly being classified as a netbook.
Here’s the way the program works: the more “fans” that sign up for a specific notebook, the lower Intel will push the price, down to what the company has set as a target. The program closes on Monday, also known as “Cyber Monday” for the number of people who buy online during that day. On that day, the prices will be locked.
It’s hard to say whether the end price will be significantly less than what you’ll be able to find elsewhere, although I suppose the page offers the convenience of one-stop shopping.
