Apple requires partner to discontinue competitor laptops

    Apple presented Pegatron with an ultimatum - either it stops the Zenbook for ASUS, or loses the client in the face of Apple.

    Zenbook, a direct competitor to the MacBook Air, appeared last year and became one of the first representatives of the ultrabook family , the ultra-thin class of lightweight laptops. Although the entire line of ultrabooks is conceptually similar to the MacBook Air, the Zenbook is also similar in appearance:




    Pegatron will probably agree with Appleā€™s demand and stop Zenbook production by the end of March. In this case, ASUS will transfer production to Compal and Wistron. The Taiwanese company assured that such a transfer of production will not affect either the quality of the products or the quantity of supplies.
