Brand vendors kick-off in-house notebook R&D for high-end models

Brand vendors kick-off in-house notebook R&D for high-end models: As notebook brand vendors have recently started up in-house R&D, sources from notebook ODMs expect such a strategy will only be applied for high-end models and should have a limited impact to the ODMs in the short term. For the long term, ODMs expect cooperation is unlikely to change since brand vendors will still need to consider costs.
