Apple、PegatronにASUSのUltrabook “ZENBOOK” を製造しないよう圧力?

Apple、MacBook Airのクローン製造を許さず=サプライヤーに圧力か

ASUSTeK Computer(ASUS)は昨年、MacBook AirライクなUltrabook準拠の薄型軽量モバイルノート「ZENBOOK」を投入して話題となったが、DIGITIMESはCommerical Timesの情報として、Appleが組立を請け負っているPegatron Technologyに対して、「ZENBOOK」を製造しないよう圧力をかけたと報じた。

PegatronはMacBook Airをはじめ、一部iOS端末などApple製品の組立を多く請け負っており、情報筋によれば、Appleはどちらの関係を重視するのか二者択一を迫ったとされる。

Appleの圧力を受けてPegatronは来月末にも「ZENBOOK」の受注を取り止める方針であり、ASUSはUltrabookの製造委託先をCompal ElectronicsまたはWistronに変更する見通しだという。
