In further evidence that the market for X86 notebooks is on the wane, it appears that Korean giant Samsung has decided to cut down manufacturing the beasts.
According to Digitimes, it will only ship seven million notebooks during this year – that’s a drop of over 40 percent compared to 2013.
The wire said that Samsung wanted to ship 17 million notebooks last year but only managed to sell 12 million units.
Further, it has no plans to launch new notebooks in 2015, unless they are Chromebooks, Digitimes claimed.
Samsung was unavailable for comment. Last week the giant released results that were slightly dented by a fall in demand for its range of smartphones.
