AMD notebooks doing better than expected - a lot better: Compaq Computer told Arima Computer before January that February orders for the Presario 700 notebook would be around 40,000-50,000 units, sources said. However, Compaq, which relies heavily on retail sales, found out that demand from retailers for the Presario 700 was much higher than expected. Hence in January, Compaq raised February orders to Arima for the Presario 700 to 90,000 units, source said, and Arima were unable to complete the modified amount. According to Compaq and Arima’s agreement, the client is allowed to adjust orders one month prior to the shipment dates, but only by 20-30%. digitimes.com Compaq also offers AMD processors in the N115 series, HP offers a number of AMD notebooks, and Sony offers AMD notebooks. Those numbers were for one model of notebook for one of the slowest months of the year.
