TAIPEI -- Compal Electronics said notebook PC shipments during the current quarter would be higher than previous company forecasts, but said the cloudy economic conditions still remain.
Compal is the world's second largest contract manufacturer of notebooks.
Compal's revised forecast calls for a sequential bounce of 15-20% in shipments for the June quarter, up from previous guidance of 15% in March. That translates to 7.25 to 7.56 million units.
The company reiterated its unit shipments target for 2009, saying business demand for PCs hasn't yet recovered.
