Acer (ASIYF.PK) and Asus, the last two major PC OEMs committed to building the cheap, no-frills notebooks, have said they'll stop making them in 2013. The evisceration of the netbook market at the hands of tablets has been a blow to both OEMs and to Intel's (INTC) Atom CPU business, which now has to depend on the mobile device and TV markets to make up lost volumes. One silver lining: notebook ASPs are rising as the low-end falls apart and consumers start buying touchscreen models. 5 Comments [Tech]

Thursday, September 13, 2012, 11:10 AM Acer (ASIYF.PK) and Alibaba (ALBCF.PK) just cancelled a smartphone launch featuring the latter's Aliyun OS, and Alibaba is blaming Google (GOOG).

Friday, August 24, 2012, 1:59 PM After looking at Dell (DELL) and H-P's (HPQ) awful July quarter PC sales data (I, II), IDC now predicts PC shipments will be up only 0.9% in 2012. Even that forecast could prove optimistic, given the decline seen in Q2. U.S. shipments are expected to fall 3.7%, after having already fallen in 2011. IDC continues to expect double-digit notebook shipment growth in later years due to emerging markets demand, but the tablet market's rapid growth makes that far from a sure thing. 1 Comment [Tech]

The world's #4 PC maker said demand from China, thus far a bastion of strength, is now softening, and that it now expects global 2012 shipment growth of just 0-5%. Nonetheless, beaten-down rivals Dell (DELL +2.8%) and H-P (HPQ +2.9%) rallied ahead of their earnings reports, respectively due tomorrow and Wednesday. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
Tuesday, August 7, 2012, 9:29 AM Acer (ASIYF.PK) CEO J.T. Wang is warning Microsoft (MSFT) to "think twice" about launching Surface, predicting the tablets will "create a huge negative impact for the [PC] ecosystem." Microsoft has already warned about a potential OEM backlash in its 10-K, and its concerns are likely a reason why Surface will initially be sold only in Microsoft's online and retail stores. Fears of channel conflict might also affect Microsoft's pricing. 2 Comments [Tech]
Friday, July 13, 2012, 11:56 AM As if Gartner and IDC's data wasn't enough, Acer (ASIYF.PK) is providing more reason to be worried about PC demand. The Taiwanese OEM is slashing its 2012 PC shipment growth forecast to 5% from 10%, citing macro concerns and a more cautious stance on Windows 8's (MSFT) adoption. An Acer spokesman adds the iPad's popularity has made distributors more cautious about building up Windows 8 hardware inventory. There are already concerns PC demand will weaken ahead of the OS' launch. 2 Comments [Tech]

Friday, November 25, 2011, 10:14 AM In what might be further proof of the devastating impact tablets have had on the netbook market, a leaked e-mail suggests Samsung (SSNLF.PK) will discontinue netbook production in Q1 2012, and instead focus on building "ultraportables" and ultrabooks. Weak netbook demand has taken a heavy toll on Acer (ASIYF.PK), and has led to plunging sales of Intel's (INTC) Atom processors. 1 Comment [Tech]
Monday, September 19, 2011, 11:06 AM DigiTimes' sources believe a PC price war that's broken out in Europe is set to intensify, as the market copes with weak demand, Acer's (ASIYF.PK) inventory issues, and Lenovo's (LNVGY.PK) attempts to gain share. Gartner estimates H-P (HPQ) had 25.1% of the Western European market in Q2, and Dell (DELL) 10.8%. Comment! [Tech]
Monday, August 29, 2011, 10:22 AM FBR's Craig Berger, who made cautious remarks about Intel (INTC) in July, continues to think the company's Q3 results will be soft, as channel checks point to PC builds falling below seasonal trends. Berger attributes the weakness to soft consumer demand, along with inventory-clearing from H-P (HPQ), Dell (DELL), and Acer (ASIYF.PK). Comment! [Tech]
Wednesday, August 24, 2011, 9:55 AM Samsung (SSNLF.PK) says it has no interest in acquiring H-P's (HPQ) PC division.
