The report sums up the development of the global and Chinese notebook industry in 2004. Through detailed data and full elaboration, it reveals from various angles the structure of China's laptop industry, the supply and demand relationship and the pattern of competition at the upstream and downstream of the notebook industry chain. Meanwhile, it examines competition among leading vendors in the various links of the industry chain. 

The report especially points out the following: China has yet to form a complete notebook industry chain. Most domestic brands adopted OEM. Out of cost pressures and lured by the market in mainland China, most Taiwan manufacturers have transferred their production facilities to the Chinese mainland. Thanks to this, China will become a global notebook production base. There was an intense competition among OEM vendors and the level of average profit in the industry has dropped. There was also a sharp decrease in the price of accessories like chip and LCD panel, leaving room for further notebook price cuts. Competition among notebook brands was intense, making profits fall. The industry is now being reshuffled. 
    
Based on an in-depth analysis of major factors affecting the development of the industry chain for notebooks in China from 2005-2009, the report presents qualitative and quantitative forecasts of the market development.
