Asustek shipped just 4.3 million notebooks in the second quarter, down from 4.8 million units in the first quarter and 4.6 million units in the second quarter of 2014.

Still notebooks did better than Asustek’s desktop shipments which were were only 500,000 units, 100,000 units lower than a quarter ago.

The company wants to maintain its notebook shipments at above 20 million units a year and has been launching new notebooks such as ultra-thin high-spec ZenBooks, high price-performance ratio T100 series devices and its latest gaming models, looking to shore up demand.

Asustek expects its notebook shipments to rise back to 4.8 million units in the third quarter, while desktop shipments will also increase to 600,000 units.
