Can stimulate demand for touch notebooks

Computer Store News: According to market research company DisplaySearch analysis report, the popularity of touch-screen laptops is below 3% in 2012, but it is expected to grow to more than 12% in 2013. In contrast, the popularity of touch screens in mobile phones and tablets is 77% and 100%, respectively.

Compared to traditional clamshell designs, Windows 8 laptops use flip-and-turn, touch-tile design user interfaces to engage users. According to DisplaySearch, both touch screen manufacturers and PC manufacturers are carefully considering how Windows 8 touch screen notebooks can achieve market success. However, current touch screen modules increase the cost of Win8 notebooks and make it difficult to mass produce.

DisplaySearch said that when consumers consider buying a laptop with touch screen function, consider more price factors than functional factors, if the price can be fully reduced, then the touch screen laptop is estimated to have 200 million in the year. Taiwan's market share will drive the popularity of large-size touch-screen notebooks.
