Acer expects overall notebook sales to increase in 2010, but predicts a drop in netbook share

February 8, 2010 1 Comment


Acer is currently enjoying sales of 1.3 million units of notebooks for 2009 in their homeland of Taiwan, and expects this number to be greater throughout the year 2010. Scott Lin, president of Acer Taiwan notes that Taiwan’s market scale is still rather small so a volume of 1.5-1.6 million units should be deemed significant. Lin is confident that many customers will replace their current notebooks with new ones by the second half of 2010, but mentions that netbook’s share of total notebook demand will drop gradually from 30-40% to 20%. Perhaps this is why Acer has been rather conservative with the introduction of new netbooks lately, leaving it to the likes of Samsung and MSI to introduce several new netbook models.

    The bulkhead style is ideal when two male connectors need to be mated with a fixed attenuator. Many times you will find this type at the patch panel. This type of attenuator is ideal for applications where return loss is not as critical and price is a consideration.
