Canon Inc is handing production of its notebook personal computers with the built-in bubblejet printers to Acer Inc: Acer has been making desktop personal computers for Canon on consignment for the last five years, and the notebook to be made by Acer has a less expensive central processing unit and cheaper production costs; Canon and Acer will continue to develop new models; it will be offered first in the US and Europe and sales will later expand to Japan and Asia.
