Asustek plans to launch touch panel notebooks in 1H09
Asustek Computer is planning to launch notebooks featuring a touch panel in the first or second quarter of 2009, according to sources at panel makers, in addition to Eee PCs as previously reported.
Asustek’s new touch panel notebooks are expected to take advantage of Windows 7, said the sources. Asustek showed concept notebooks featuring two touch panels during Computex 2008.
AU Optronics (AUO) and Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO) are planning to launch 11.6-inch notebook panels in February next year, which along with 12.1-inch make possible candidate sizes for the upcoming touch panel notebooks, noted the sources, adding that Asustek has not yet decided what size its notebook will be.
