Source: Comline

Comline Computer Wire via Individual Inc. -- Fujitsu <6702> says it will boost worldwide PC shipments by 1 million this year to 3.8 million, looking for 30% growth against the industry average target of 22% as it chases down top ranked NEC. It will launch new models targeting the growing small and home office market and will also work to develop new mobile computing markets. Fujitsu was 9th in the world with a 3.8% share in 1996. Shipments in Japan should be up 30% to 2.6 million, with Europe up 33% to 800,000 and the US and Asia/Pacific doubling to 200,000 each. US and European growth will be based on increased notebook sales. The company launched a home notebook last summer in the US, where it ranks 14th. It hopes to get into the top ten by developing the business market.
