Dell and Acer are reportedly also restructuring their operations.
Acer is working to reorganize its businesses around individual brands - Acer, Gateway and eMachines - and it will focus on operating the brands in different market segments to allow the company to make flexible adjustments to counter the market fluctuations, according to the sources.
Dell in January announced that it will organize globally around three major customer segments – large enterprise, public sector, and small and medium businesses. Dell's consumer business is already organized globally.
