Compal has said that it expects its notebook shipments in the second quarter of 2012 to increase meaning more activity in the industry.
Speaking at an investor conference this week, Ray Chen, company president at the company, said it expected a 14.8 percent growth – around .3 million units in the second quarter of this year.
He added that by the third quarter he expects a further 10 percent growth, according to Digitimes. Making up this demand are ultrabooks, which, together with notebook shipments will reach 25 percent in the fourth quarter, Mr Chen said.
