These days, it seems as if everyone has a laptop of their own. Demand for these mobile computers is higher than ever, and shows no signs of slowing down. Unfortunately, laptop component recalls are also higher than ever, and show no signs of slowing down. This quarter, the industry has already been hit by a shortage of LCD panels, hard disc drives, batteries, and casings. The future doesn't look too good either. Analysts predict that laptop demand will continue to soar, and shortages will manifest themselves in high prices, more and increasingly serious recalls as laptop components are rushed out of factories, or outright lack of stock.
Analysts do not expect any relief from this problem for at least five months.
