difficulties with shipments of Macbooks

Category: other notebook news

By: Stefan Hinum

At present in America shipment delays arise for Macbook and Macbook Pro notebooks. It is to be expected that this will happen soon in Europe too.

The reason is the fact that Apple only produces within rigid limits ("just in time"). Decades ago Apple was almost ruined by flops and therefore is very careful now. Only so much hardware is produced, as can be set off at the market at short time. The American and Japanese chief markets are supplied with priority and rather secondarily Europe. Now the Apple notebooks are best sellers in America and Apple seems surprised.

However at present obviously there are istill sufficient reserves of Macbooks and Macbooks Pro in Europe, so that the customers still can be served within at short time.
