Demand for non-Apple notebooks, tablets may remain weak until 2Q15, say Taiwan makers

Demand for non-Apple notebooks, tablets may remain weak until 2Q15, say Taiwan makers: Under large pressure due to booming sales of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and new iPad models possibly to be launched in the fourth quarter and Apple Watch expected to be launched in February or March 2015, global demand for non-Apple consumer notebooks and tablets is likely to remain weak in the fourth quarter of 2014 through to the second quarter of 2015 when Microsoft launches Windows 10, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.
