Decline in sales of laptops, и планы
According to the current report should TrendForce, that the sale of laptops in the world declined in the past year 6,3%. There are several reasons. The main thing is the change in exchange rates, affecting the economy of Europe and South America. In this case, the fall should be maintained, but in spite of this Asus plans to produce this year about 20 million notebooks.
Decline in the popularity of notebooks Lenovo
What, interesting turn of events. Recently,(during the last year and a half) among reputable online user forums there is a perception that smartphones and tablets Company Lenvo still possible to buy, but not laptops. It turns out that because of the bet for cheap accessories Lenovo laptops fast break, why even though they are cheaper than their sales went down.
