今早报上看到Gateway打的广告，发现他们也打算分一块中国市场的奶酪了。据透露，神州数码是Gateway在中国的唯一合作伙伴。要是Gateway走性价比路线的话，咱普通LBX有福了，买笔记本的时候无疑多了一个选择。

关于收购的新闻是27号的，浏览Gateway网站无意发现，就赶快把它放到这边来了。时间紧迫，没来得及翻译，大家凑合着看吧。

Acer to Buy Gateway


Acer has announced a tender offer to purchase Gateway's shares for $710 million, a hefty premium over the closing price of Gateway's shares on Friday. Gateway is also exercising its first right of refusal to purchase the rest of Packard Bell.
Acer will pay $1.90 per share for Gateway's common stock, a whopping 58% premium over the closing price Friday of $1.21.
Lenovo had been rumored in recent weeks to be interested in Packard Bell. That was likely the driving force behind Gateway exercising their first right of refusal. Lenovo likely made an offer, requiring Gateway to execute the option or risk losing control of the company.
Acer ends up adding a floundering Gateway and Packard Bell, with limited market penetration, mostly in Europe. The acquisition seems strange from Acer's perspective, but is great for Gateway shareholders. They'll surely tender their shares, which beyond regulatory approval, is about all that needs to happen for this deal to close. It remains to be seen if Acer can breathe life into a Gateway brand that has struggled in relative obscurity for the last few years.
UPDATE: Acer's tender offer to purchase Gateway would immediately double Acer's market share worldwide, creating the third largest PC manufacturer with 10.8 percent of the market behind HP (23.6 percent) and Dell (28.4 percent). Lenovo, which currently holds the No. 3 spot in the marketplace, will slip to the No. 4 spot.
On a worldwide basis, the Acer-Gateway-Packard Bell merger would push Taiwan's Acer ahead of Chinese rival Lenovo in terms of market share and global unit sales. When you put it that way, Acer's purchase of the less-than-successful Gateway and Packard Bell brands makes much more sense.
