Focuses on CULV instead
Acer is apparently planning to place more emphasis on CULV-based
notebooks, and it is cutting orders for some of its netbooks, made by
ODM partners Compal and Quanta.
CULV-based products seem to offer higher margins, and high inventory
levels of netbooks in Europe are another reason behind the decision.
Acer is currently the top netbook vendor, with a 30 percent global
market share.
According to Digitimes, Acer will start reducing netbook orders in June, and orders of some models will see a drop of more than 50 percent.
Acer has recently introduced the Timeline series of CULV-based
notebooks in several form factors, and they are already on sale in some
Asian markets.
