Among the major IT players that will be present at 2012 Computex are Intel, Acer and Asustek Computer. It was reported that each of them would be renting about 50 booth-spaces and will be holding a major exhibition to promote their products.
Microsoft is also reported to be present at the show and will be cooperating with partners to highlight products that are running Windows 8 and perhaps will give details about WoA (Windows on ARM) as well.
2012 Computex is said to focus on four major themes – ultrabooks, smart handheld devices, e-book readers and cloud computing services.
