August 7 Beijing time, Acer, the world's fourth-largest PC company, released its second-quarter results on that day. With investment growth in product design and a rise in DRAM memory prices, Acer showed a net loss of NT $343 million ($ 11.4 million) in the quarter, compared with $56 million in the same period 1 years ago.

Acer achieved revenue of NT $89.4 billion in the second quarter, down more than 19% per cent year-on-year. Reuters originally expected to profit 213.4 million NT dollars. IDC has said that Acer's PC shipments fell 32% per cent year-on-year in the quarter, the biggest drop for the top 5 pc companies. As the PC market has been depressed, even the high-end ultra-extreme is also facing weak demand, the company is difficult to improve profits. Acer currently has a global PC market share of 8%, with most of its revenue coming from notebook sales.

But Acer is also aggressively expanding its product sector. At the Taipei International Computer Show in June, the company showcased a 8-inch Win8 tablet and a 5.7-inch Android phone, Computex. At the same time, the company is putting more money into developing innovative products, such as improving the "look and feel" and user interface of products.

Analysts said that Microsoft's WIN8 system had little effect on PC sales, so it appeared that PC companies were trying to install Google's Android system on their computers. At the Computex show, Acer unveiled a 21.5-inch All-in-one machine running Android, which will be available in September or October.
