Acer thinks restructuring: became a holding company and establishment of three subsidiaries

Acer is considering the possibility of making an important project of restructuring its business, with the aim to split its business into three distinct segments that will take care of PC World, the solutions for the cloud and datacenter management and activities reinvestment.

According to available information, the company may decide to set up three subsidiaries to devote to each division of the three operating segments, and transform itself into a simple holding control of the three subsidiaries.

The PC division would be to include computers, monitors, projectors and servers, whereas the division and cloud data centers would deal of Acer Build Your Own Cloud projects and e-Enabling Data Center.

The establishment of a holding company would offer more flexibility to Acer that crops more easily attract strategic investors or, conversely, to liquidate (perhaps with the sale to third parties) those subsidiaries deemed unprofitable and instead focus on the most profitable activities.

The project could take shape in the second half of 2016, according to the newspaper taiwnese Digitimes.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you.

On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...
