Computers Our MagicStation PCs continued to dominate the competition at home in 2001, capturing nearly 50% of the mar-
ket as we introduced Pentium 4 models running at up to 1.7-GHz with a choice of 72 options in a new build-to-order pro-
gram. Our notebook PC family also continued to win recognition and customers worldwide with sleek Pentium III models
running at up to 1.2-GHz and boasting features like extended battery life and no-boot MP3 playback. In 2002, we plan to add
Wi-Fi wireless LAN connectivity and thumbprint recognition security to our product lineup as we continue work on sub-20
mm thick, sub-1.3 kg ultraportable notebook models. We also intend to ship our first home media center PCs featuring
Microsoft’s Freestyle software platform, freeing consumers to enjoy their music, videos, photos, and even watch TV from
anywhere in the room.
Monitors In 2001, we marked our 14th year at the top of the monitor category as we shipped over 22 mil-
lion SyncMaster monitors. Overall, we captured over 20% of the global market as sales of our award-winning CDT and TFT-
LCD displays soared 170% and 200%, respectively, outselling the competition in 39 countries worldwide. With TFT-LCD sales
moving solidly into first place for the first time as we shipped 2.6 million units in 2001 and demand now more than doubling
annually, we’ll be boosting production capacity from 500,000 to 700,000 units per month in 2002 as we aim to ship 5 mil-
lion flat-panel displays during the year.
Post-PC Devices During the year, we unveiled the world’s most advanced post-PC device to date:
