Acer appears to be weathering the global economic downturn just fine, thanks in no small part to its mobile PC business. Last December, the OEM became the new netbook top dog, supplanting Asus for the No. 1 spot in units shipped despite carrying a single netbook model versus Asus' bazillion Eee PCs, and the future looks just as bright.
Citing "market watchers," news and rumor site says Acer is on track to ship somewhere between 8-9 million notebooks. That number is all encompassing and includes both netbooks and ultra-thin models in addition to standard laptops.
The sources attribute the large number of shipments to rebounding demand in Europe, which helped Acer record about 2.5-2.7 million units shipped in July alone.
