Asustek Computer has revised its Eee PC shipments forecast for the first quarter of 2008 dropping to around 700,000 units from the originally estimated one million, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report citing sources at the company.
Although orders in the first quarter of 2008 have already surpassed one million units, problems with 8GB Eee PCs mean that shipments of that model will be delayed to the second quarter, added the paper.
Asustek recently admitted that it had discovered some minor hardware issues relating to the flash-based storage in the 8GB Eee PC, therefore the company was forced to delay shipments to the market.
