TAIPEI, TAIWAN: Netbook PC pioneer Asustek said on Monday it expects to ship 11-13 million portable PCs this year as demand increases in markets such as Europe.

"We are seeing some demand increase in Europe, especially from eastern Europe," Asustek Chief Executive Jerry Shen told reporters on the sidelines of a company event.

The latest forecast is roughly in line with previous estimates. In May, Asustek's CEO Tony Chen said Asustek aimed to ship 13 million portable computers, including notebook and low-cost netbook PCs, this year, up 25 percent from last year.
