ASUS And Acer Merger Rumor
Here's something to discuss. Apparently, there are whispers going around that Acer and ASUS could potentially merge. Both of these companies hail from Taiwan, and ASUS Chairman Johnny Shih did respond to a question concerning a possible merger between the two, where he mentioned that the industry happens to be in a transition period, and people should keep “an open mind” when it comes to mergers. Shih did have a penchant to talk about organic growth for ASUS in the past, but this is a refreshing turnabout.
ASUS’ bread and butter, the sales of motherboards, isn’t exactly doing gangbusters, and ASUS seems to focus more on mobile devices recently, so a merger with Acer might benefit both companies. Of course, these are just rumors as at press time, but the market did react favorably to this rumor, with the respective share prices of both companies going up. Via ubergizmo.

Yeah, but perhaps Asus will be the driving force?
This would be bad.... How exactly would this merger work? Acer merged with Gateway several years ago.... Acer already failed at hardware manufacturing (via AOpen)....would hate to see Asus die because of Acer...

I was under the impression that Acer bought out Gateway? Not merged.

I've never had a problem with either company. I've only owned Asus motherboards and only ever owned Acer laptops.
That being said, I hope this doesn't cause quality to decrease for either of them.

this makes sense to me as I've noticed Asus already supplies a lot of their mobos and possibly other hardware.
