元器件交易網訊 3月27日消息，據外媒報道，臺灣供應鏈方面稱2014年Macbook出貨量將較2013年的1200萬臺減少15%，大約在1000萬或990萬臺左右。

　　2014年1、2月份Macbook出貨量與預期持平，但消息人士稱3月出貨量有所下降。

　　其他臺灣供應鏈人士認為因下半年蘋果將推出新機型，2014年Macbook出貨量估值未必準確。該消息人士表示蘋果將推出一款配備有Retina顯示屏的Macbook。

　　2014年下半年蘋果將推出一款12英寸左右的iPad，由廣達電腦（QuantaCompute）負責代工生產。（元器件交易網毛毛  譯）

　　MacBook shipments in January-February 2014were as expected, but Apple has significantly decreased shipments in March, thesources said.

　　However, other Taiwan-based supply chainmakers hold the opinion that 2014 MacBook shipments estimates may not be accuratebecause Apple will launch new models in the second half of 2014. Apple willreportedly launch a MacBook Air with Retina display, the makers said.
