David Tzeng, Taipei; Wen-Yu Lang, DigiTimes.com [Thursday 29 May 2003]
Major notebook vendors expect to see Centrino notebooks account for over half of their total shipments in the third quarter of this year, one to two quarters ahead of the original schedule, sources said.
Dell Computer, IBM, Acer and Asustek Computer predict that Centrino notebooks will take over 50% of their total sales in the third quarter, compared to 20-30% currently, sources said. By this summer, the companies are expected to launch a number of new Centrino models targeting the medium- and low-priced markets, with price tags of between US$1,099-1,599.

---Now, who was it, that was telling me that Centrino was not "Pulling It's Weight", I forget...... Oh yeah, now I remember....

RE:I don't think Centrino is pulling its weight considering the megabucks of marketing thrown at it. Its clear that that only thing consumers will pay top $ for is performance, not battery life. Again, not a single Centrino notebook in CompUSA, Circuit City or Best Buy.

---Man, 20-30% now, and 50% in the 3rd Quarter. If HALF the notebooks being shipped by Teir 1 Vendors in Q3, is not "Pulling It's Weight", I can't WAIT until Centrino actually starts doing so. Probably have ALL the market by then, eh?
