Asustek Chairman Responds to Eee Top Issues

The just released Eee Top has elicited some concerns among industry watchers saying that it might have an adverse effect on the Asustek’s other products including the Eee Box and Asus motherboards. To this, Asustek chairman Jonney Shih responds by saying that their motherboard business is going on smoothly and that the Eee Top will not really affect the position of the Eee Box since the two products cater to different audience.  Shih also said that the Eee Top will most likely impact second-tier PC and motherboard vendors.

The Asustek Chairman also cleared the issue on Asustek holding up a large volume of their inventory in their warehouses. Shih denied any such actions being undertaken by his company.

Finally, reacting to recent reports that Asustek is cutting off shipments forecast for the rest of 2008, Shih is still positive that his company will become among the top three notebook vendor by 2009-2010.
