Wistron lands notebook orders from Dell, LCD TV orders from Toshiba
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wistron reportedly has landed orders for a 14.1-inch screen, two-spindle notebook from Dell, with volume shipments to begin at year-end at the earliest, according to market sources.
Wistron is likely to ship 30,000-40,000 units of the widescreen notebook to Dell per month, the sources added. However, Wistron declined to confirm the report, citing client confidentiality.
Dell?s new 14.1-inch model will compete against the recently launched Hewlett-Packard (HP) 14.1-inch Pavilion dv1000 and Presario V2000 notebooks, the sources noted.
With the new orders, Wistron is likely to become one of three major notebook contract makers for Dell in 2005, joining Quanta Computer and Compal Electronics, said the source.
Wistron started shipping 12.1-inch Inspiron 700m widescreen notebooks to Dell in July and will begin delivering two value notebooks, in 15- and 15.4-inch screen sizes, to Dell by year-end.
In related news, the Chinese-language Commercial Times reported yesterday that Wistron has landed orders for 30-inch LCD TVs from Toshiba. The new orders came after Wistron shipped about 400,000 LCD TVs, in 14- and 20-inch sizes, to Toshiba in the first half of this year, the paper said.
For the purpose of testing the market, Toshiba ordered just several thousand units of the 30-inch LCD TV from Wistron, the report said.
