Quanta ships record two million notebook PCs in January

More

Would you know that the Dell laptop computer -- and many other brands -- are made by Taiwanese contractors for some of the largest PC manufacturers in the world? Wistron (supplier to HP) and Quanta make almost all of the laptop computers sold worldwide by all the famous brands, so when the largest of these contractors -- Quanta -- says that it has had a record month in terms of shipments, one can definitely say that the PC market is not dead.

Quanta shipped a record 2 million notebook computers in January. Is the age of the desktop computer over and being replaced by legions of laptop computers? Or does this mean laptop computer systems are hitting that all-important point in the product lifecycle: the tip of the peak?

Quanta said that never before in its 19-year history had the company ever shipped more than 2 million units for one month. With the bulkier desktop systems being replaced more and more by consumers and even businesses by the portable laptop computer, expect Quanta's fortunes to go nowhere but up for now.
