Acer is planning to raise pricing of its new PC by 4.5-5% in Taiwan in September as the NT dollar has been depreciating over the past few weeks. Asustek Computer is also planning to follow suit in the fourth quarter, but the company will absorb part of the costs, according to a Chinese-language Apple Daily report.

Acer achieved its sales target of 30% sequential growth for the third quarter. Although Acer's overall sales in Taiwan in 2015 are expected to stay flat from a year ago, the company expects the volume in 2016 to enjoy growth thanks to more aggressive promotions to boost demand, the paper noted.
