Acer has a long road ahead of it if the company wants to be king of the notebook hill by next year (and Acer does). As if that weren't ambitious enough, the climb to No. 1 will get a little bit steeper if Acer's notebook shipments remain flat this quarter, as the company expects they will.
According to Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci, notebooks shipments will likely stall sequentially in Q1 2010, yet still be up 40-45 percent over the same quarter one year ago.
The company's notebook shipments might have actually fallen, if not for strong orders from Europe, the Asia Pacific, and North Pacific. And going forward, Lanci expects shipments to pick back up and grow 25-30 percent on year.
There's also been some talk of component shortages, and while Lanci admitted to a few GPU shortage issues, he expects this to become a non-issue by the end of the month.
