Low-priced Notebook PCs Become Popular; Performance Becomes More Important

BEIJING, Aug. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Analysts from tootoo.com said that by the end of 2007, low-cost notebook PCs ( http://www.china-computer-accessories.com/ ) had witnessed an increase in demand thanks to successful markets gains by Asus’ Eee PC that focuses on providing an ultra-mobile and lightweight notebook, which attracted a large number of consumers. With the release of the Eee PC 900 and HP mini-note, the low-priced laptop era has arrived, and over the past year the low-priced notebook ( http://www.china-computer-accessories.com/Products/ ) market grew rapidly through a rapid increase in product sales. With an increase in competition and reduced R&D costs the low-cost notebook market is set to become even more fruitful.

According to a market research released by tootoo.com: from 2008-2012 the demand for notebook computers will increase from 140 million to 285 million around the world, with an average annual compound growth rate of 45.1 percent. In 2012, notebook panel demand will exceed the demand for display panels, both with 2.78 and 253 million respectively. Notebooks will become the mainstream equipment in families, business and entertainment, but at the same time "enhanced performance" has become the main topic of notebooks. To that end, Intel and AMD launched a new generation of mobile computing platforms in 2008.

"At present, China’s high-performance computing ( http://www.china-computer-accessories.com/Companies/ ) has reached an advanced level, with analysts from tootoo.com saying that "China became the ‘third force’ following the United States and Japan. But from the development on the whole, we are also clear that there is a big gap of computing applications between China and the Western countries. On the one hand, foreign brands also occupied many areas and sectors of China’s high-performance applications, and on the other hand, high-performance applications are not used enough."

As a rising, developing country, China should not only focus on domestically made processors, operating systems ( http://www.china-computer-accessories.com/Buying_Leads/ ), chipsets and motherboards, but also launch the low-cost answer for Chinese users.
