DigiTimes heard aluminium alloy enclosures for ultrabooks will likely be in shortage next year:
The supply of aluminum alloy chassis for ultrabooks may fall short of demand in 2012 as most ultrabook models launched by brand vendors will come with the metal chassis. Capacities at metal chassis makers including Catcher Technology and Foxconn Technology have been fully booked to the end of 2011, according to industry sources.
The ultrabook models already announced including Acer's Aspire S3, Lenovo's IdeaPad U300s, Toshiba's Portege Z830 and Asustek's forthcoming UX-series lineup, all will be available with metal chassis, the sources noted.
