Manual Fujitsu dissatisfied pace of entering the laptop market with Windows 8. Until now fixed fairly weak demand for such devices. What prevents actively compete with other manufacturers. Especially did not like the president of Fujitsu Masami Yamamoto recent statement Acer leadership that segment of the laptop market with Windows 8 and touch-screen will soon be bringing a very good profit. In Japan, saw no reason for the explosive growth of sales of such devices.
On the contrary, Fujitsu today watching the fall of the level of implementation of touch laptops and blames this mainly provided by Microsoft, does not ensure an adequate level of training users on new principles of work with Windows 8. Thus, the hybrid tablet-notebook from Fujitsu Stylistic Q702 uses a minimal demand. So, the rate of production of laptops with Windows 8 was wrong. The low level of sales of such devices will negatively affect the annual financial report Fujitsu. At a special press conference in Tokyo, Mr. Yamamoto said that because of this, in the last financial year will be sold for 7 million laptops less than had been planned.
However, Acer president Jim Wong also did not sing the praises of the new Windows 8. His company, as well as Fujitsu, will receive less revenue than expected. The reason for the low demand for touchscreen laptops he sees in the new interface of Windows 8, which significantly delayed the adoption of simple consumers#39; new strategy. In addition, the serious problems with the implementation of Windows-based device reported a group NPD. In its report, it was stated that in November 2012, the sales volume of notebook dropped by 21 percent, compared with the figures for the same period of 2011. However, some analysts believe that it is not necessary to pay attention to such pessimistic views and reports. Thus, U.S. demand for computers and touch-screen Windows 8 as well as the latest touch notebook remains stable and rather significant.
Rhoda Alexander, an analyst at IHS ISuppli, said that this month, many manufacturers do decide to market their developments with the sensor array. It is said that they are hoping for a change in the attitudes of ordinary citizens and the subsequent increase in sales. In view of this, we can recall the opinion of Jim Wong expressed by them regarding the start of production of devices based on Windows 8, Companies need to take risks in the implementation of innovation. He had previously stated that users of the new system must learn to work on it, and this learning process will prevent too rapid growth in popularity of the operating system. Still, Wong believes that sensory laptops sooner or later gain fame most convenient device for work and entertainment. In his view, the criticism of the touch interface is unfair.
