Inventec shipped 2.2 million notebook computers in March, an increase of 700,000 units from February. In the first quarter, notebook shipments were 5.4 million units, a 1.9% increase from the previous quarter and an 8% increase year-on-year. Inventec stated that March's notebook performance exceeded expectations due to end-of-quarter customer pull-ins and higher notebook selling prices driven by rising memory costs. For the second quarter, Inventec expects notebook shipments to be flat compared to the first quarter, impacted by early shipments and a higher base. Server shipments in the second quarter are projected to grow by double digits quarter-on-quarter.
