Some manufacturers of motherboards and graphics cards, for example, from active competition hide themselves in the market segments of gaming notebooks, as does MSI. The main thing that attracts market participants in such safe havens - an acceptable rate of return, which in areas with high competition tends to a minimum.
DigiTimes has shared the statements of the president and founder of Acer Stan Shih , which does not consider reasonable projections, IDC experts about the decline in the number of players in the segment of components for the PC. Analysts said recently that in the next two years, the PC market will leave two major products included in the top ten. They were called candidates for departure: Asus, Acer, Toshiba, Samsung Electronics, Fujitsu and Tsinghua Tongfang.
Strive for the lowest possible prices in the notebook market, as now makes Lenovo, in not reasonable according to Acer- especially since the market itself is compressed and laptops can not be considered promising.
