  1. Comment - The new branding strategy for Acer, Packard Bell, and Gateway

    (Sep 25, 2008 - 7:58 PM)

    Acer did basically take over the Tandy computer product lines a long time ago.

    Acer name in the US was licensed by Beny Alagem, the same one that 'took over' the Packard Bell name. But Acer took that back.

    Packard Bell has been going pretty well in Europe and other countries as they were able to rework the systems for their locales before PB 'bought' Zenith Data Systems and then NEC 'bought' PB.

    Acer has been around for a long time too.
