Taiwanese notebook makers start turning to cloud computing devices

As the world's largest two notebook assembly companies, Quanta Computer and Jen-Po computer company to create half of the world's notebook computers, now the two companies are changing direction, began to take over the server and the tablet computer business. With the US PC market falling for the first time in a decade, the company's turnover in assembling laptops for Hewlett-Packard and Dell's OEM has fallen last year, the first time since the 1999 IPO in the Taiwanese Taoyuan company.

The global sale of the ipad, which is lighter and cheaper than most laptops, has caused a slide in the value of 233 billion of dollars in the PC market, prompting the assembly companies to start chasing orders from Google and Amazon to produce servers and tablets. In fact, these foundry assembly companies in Taiwan have seen the industry change from their old customers. Dell is increasingly reliant on its PC business, and HP is considering exiting the industry after 7 years of IBM's exit from the PC market.

Arthur Liao, analyst at Fubon Control in Taipei, said: "The golden Age of laptops is over." If you want to survive and grow, quanta and Jen will need to turn to cloud computing-related devices, such as servers and tablets. ”

The popularity of the ipad and other tablet computers has accelerated the growth of the cloud computing business. Unlike traditional PCs, tablets do not have to store large amounts of data on the computer, but use cloud computing, which is to run its programs, streaming video and streaming music services through frequent access to remote servers.
