元器件交易网讯 2月14日消息，据来自上游供应链消息，宏碁预计在2014年将把超过30%的平板制造业务外包给大陆制造商。因为中国大陆制造商已经拥有成熟的技术，另外，在价格方面，也比台湾厂商更具竞争力。
消息人士称，宏碁近日将其7英寸3G平板电脑制造外包上海华勤，3月开始出货量。华勤公司总部位于上海,下设香港、深圳及海外办事处，是一家具备手机研发能力的移动设备提供商，主要致力于GSM/GPRS/EVDO/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA以及4G的移动设备的研发和制造。
最初，仁宝电子是宏碁7英寸平板电脑的主要制造商，但已经渐渐失去订单。上海华勤是中国一线手持设备供应商之一，并为联想制造智能手机。
消息人士指出，仁宝近期与华宝通讯的合并是造成宏碁寻找新ODM合作伙伴的另一个关键因素。自合并以来，仁宝已获得来自诺基亚、索尼、联想甚至苹果的订单，并大大增加仁宝的工作量。宏碁关注的是，它未来可能受到轻视。（元器件交易网郭路平 译）

Acer to have over 30% tablets manufactured by China makers in 2014
Acer is expected to outsource over 30% of its tablet manufacturing to China-based makers in 2014 since China makers already have mature technologies, but are more competitive in terms of price compared to Taiwan-based makers, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
Acer recently outsourced its 7-inch 3G tablet to China-based Shanghai Huaqin with shipments to start in March, the sources noted.
Compal Electronics was originally the main manufacturer of Acer"s 7-inch tablets, but has started losing orders. Shanghai Huaqin is one of China"s first-tier handheld device suppliers and manufactures smartphones for Lenovo, the sources said.
The sources pointed out that Compal"s recent merger with Compal Communications is another key factor pushing Acer to find new ODM partners. Since the merger has brought Compal orders from Nokia, Sony, Lenovo and even Apple, and greatly increased Compal"s workload. Acer is concerned that it may be treated less importantly in the future, the sources added.
