It is expected that in May this year Amazon company will introduce new seven-inch tablet Kindle Fire , which is quite popular in the United States due to reasonable pricing . It is estimated that up to 30% of orders for production of the new Kindle Fire will get Compal Electronics.
Associate claims that in the first quarter this year, Compal managed to organize supplies of budget tablets Acer, and in the third quarter will start production of seven-inch tablet Amazon. Obviously, in the first case it is the ten-inch tablet for $ 200, while the second - a new generation of Kindle Fire. However, this circumstance does not preclude the possibility of next-generation Kindle Fire announcement in May as Quanta can still act as a second Amazon contractor on tablets release. Compal expects to release 10.8 million tablets - six times more than last year.
In March, the manufacturer has to release 3.8 million 400 thousand laptops and tablets - this is up to 40% compared to the previous month. In the future, Compal is planning to reduce its dependence on the production of laptops.
