Shuttle enters notebook bussiness

For medium and smaller OEMs


Although
Shuttle didn’t lack in new products on this year’s Cebit, the company had a few other nuggets of info showing that the company is serious with any business model they take up.

This time around, we’re talking about notebook production for OEMs, which means that the notebooks will not actually come under Shuttle brand. The idea behind the move is to help smaller and medium brands/companies break into the notebook market, which promises some nice competition to the big dogs, especially knowing that Shuttle is the one orchestrating it.

So, the company will be offering notebooks with standardized components and different mainboards, chipsets and GPUs for 10’’ and 17.3’’ devices. Customers will be able to purchase notebooks carefully designed and tailored after their needs as long as the order exceeds 500 units.

Naturally, the number of options is ever expanding so the deal will include a choice of design, logo, battery, webcam, 3G/modem, keyboards and more. Such a move will make handling specific regions much easier, and without the need to turn to anyone but Shuttle, which will probably be a godsend to many an OEM.

We’ve caught up with Shuttle and took a few shots and if the initial showcase is anything to go by, we'll probably be hearing from Shuttle much more in the following months. You can find out more here.
