Acer plans to introduce notebooks that feature built-in Blu-ray Disc (BD) optical disc drives (ODDs) and HD-DVD drives at Computex 2006. The company will also feature a 42-inch LCD TV at its booth during the event.
Acer did not comment as to whether notebooks featuring BD or HD-DVD drives will be featured at its booth.
Company sources revealed that Acer has set a worldwide shipment goal of one million LCD TVs for 2007, doubling its estimate of 500,000 units for this year. In 2005, Acer shipped only 150,000 LCD TVs. Taiwan's Quanta Computer and TPV Technology are the brand vendor's only contract suppliers for LCD TVs, the sources added.
Computex will be happening in Taipei from the 6th to the 10th of June.
