Samsung Electronics has set a goal of shipping seven million notebooks globally in 2014, a reduction of 41.67% from the 12 million units shipped in 2013, and will no longer launch conventional notebook models except Chromebooks in 2015, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.
Samsung aimed to ship 17 million notebooks in 2013 but actually shipped 12 million units, the sources said.
Since Samsung has a policy of maintaining in-house production for most of its notebooks, smartphones and tablets, the decrease in 2014 target shipments will not have a negative impact on Taiwan-based ODMs and component makers, the sources indicated.
