Notebook vendors to defer shipments for 60 days, say Taiwan makers

Notebook vendors to defer shipments for 60 days, say Taiwan makers: Notebook vendors will wait till July before ramping up their orders in preparation for the back-to-school demand, a delay of about 60 days as compared to the usual practice in previous years, probably because the vendors are conservative about market demand or are waiting for sufficient supply of touch panels, according to sources with the Taiwan-based supply chain.
