HP Notebook Orders Could Reach 3.5M in Sept

TAIPEI – Taiwan’s top four notebook makers saw orders increase in August, thanks to Hewlett-Packard (HP), and the trend looks like it will continue through September, reports DigiTimes.

HP orders for the month were up 15% sequentially to an estimated 3.2 million to 3.3 million notebooks. Volume is forecast at 3.5 million units in September on the launch of Windows 7 and seasonal demand.

Inventec reported orders for over 1 million units from HP last month, says DigiTimes, with Quanta Computer and Compal Electronics shipping nearly 700,000 units. Orders were up by 30,000 units to 50,000 units sequentially for Wistron.

Acer is expected to claim the top spot in September, with shipments potentially surpassing 3.6 million units as demand for its ultra-thin notebooks and netbooks climbs in North America and Europe. Third-quarter shipments could reach 9 million notebooks, DigiTimes says.
