Abstract

With the upcoming peak season as well as the launch of CULV-platform products and Windows 7 operating system, the global notebook PC market is expected to see demand growth in the second half of the year. Nevertheless, as related terminal products will not hit the market until the fourth quarter, it is projected that consumers will hold a relatively conservative attitude towards notebook PC purchase in the third quarter. Moreover, the strained supply of key components is expected to affect the global notebook PC shipment volume, too. This research will profile the key issues pertaining to demand and supply in the global notebook PC market and analyze their influence on the market development. Second-half global notebook PC shipment forecast will also be provided.
