Notebook panel shipments hit record high of 282m in 2021
Notebook panel shipments hit a record 282 million in 2021, up 25.1% year-over-year, according to analyst firm TrendForce. In the first half of the year, increased demand was driven by the pandemic and was mainly focused on consumer laptops and Chromebooks. In the second half of the year, as Europe and the US gradually lifted restrictions and business returned to normal, demand for mobile computers shifted to the corporate segment to a large extent. As a result, demand for laptop panels remained flat throughout the year.
TrendForce believes that the market will slow down in the current half of the year. Notebook panel shipments in the first quarter of 2022 are forecast to be around 67.9 million units, down 9.7% quarter-on-quarter. Shipments in the second quarter are expected to fall to 61.4 million units, down another 9.5% qoq. In addition to the influence of the traditional off-season, there are other reasons for this. One of them is the large inventory of laptop manufacturers. Due to panel shortages in the past two years, manufacturers continued to actively purchase panels in 2021 to avoid supply chain disruptions. As a result, they have inventories above normal levels.
Notebook panel restocking rates are expected to recover in the second half of the year, but overall, 265 million panels will be shipped in 2022, down 6.0% from 2021.

31.5-inch 4K screen, Core i9-13900H and GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop in an ultra-slim design. Lenovo Yoga Air 32 is a unique all-in-one PC

Monoblocks with discrete GPUs can be counted on the fingers, not only is the processor the most powerful in the line, and quite a gaming GPU, but also the case is very thin. True, all this causes a considerable cost – $ 2,400! The Yoga Air 32 has a simpler version – without a discrete GPU. They ask for 1980 dollars for it.
Yoga Air 32 is equipped with a 14-core Intel i9-13900H processor, 32 GB of LPDDR5-6000 memory and a 1 TB SSD. The discrete graphics is the GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. The IPS screen is characterized by a diagonal of 31.5 inches and a resolution of 4K. It complies with the HDR600 standard and covers 97% of the DCI-P3 color space. Among the interface connectors are HDMI 2.1, USB-C, USB-C with Thunderbolt interface, USB-A. The monoblock also received webcams with infrared illumination for the Windows Hello function and four speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
