Acer's President
Gianfranco Lanci is talking some
big talk these days, but not completely without reason. The Taiwan-based computer manufacturer says it does not expect to see a decline in revenue this year over last, meaning that it should clear somewhere in the realm of $17 billion -- its 2008 revenue figure. Much of the good news (and sales) hails from Asia, where retail markets have not been as hard hit by the economic insanity of the last year. Moreover, Lanci also said that with these figures, Acer "can finally pass
Dell" sometime between this quarter and the next. He also added that the company expects to "breach the gap with
HP" when it comes to notebooks, netbooks, and smartphones. So... that means we can expect a ton of
Acers this year, right? Right.
