Chinese computer producers have tried to manufacture products that cater to different tastes of consumers, said an official from the ministry over the weekends.

According to the official, China's top home appliance maker Haier has entered the computer market with a new laptop.

Other computer manufacturers are also promoting new models including Asus which has launched a computer that can receive television broadcasts.

In China's domestic market, computer makers are dropping their prices. Dell launched its low-cost laptop computers that cost between 5,999 yuan (746 US dollars) to 6,999 yuan (871 US dollars), while other bit computer firms, including Acer and HP, have also cut computer prices to 5,999 yuan.
