Asustek targets 77 percent laptop jump in 2009: report
Taiwan's Asustek Computer aims to increase its notebook output by 77 percent in 2009 as it rides growing demand for its low-cost laptops, local media reported on Tuesday. Asustek Chairman Jonney Shih said he hoped his company would ship up to 20 million laptops next year, propelling Asustek to become one of the world's top four laptop makers, the Chinese-language Economic Daily reported.
Based on previous forecasts, the company is on track to ship 11.3 million notebooks this year, including netbooks, the newspaper said. Shares in Asustek were up nearly 3 percent on Tuesday, outpacing a 0.3 percent drop in the benchmark index. Many of the world's top PC makers, including Dell, Acer and NEC, have entered the netbook market and will either launch or have launched their own line of low-cost notebooks.
