Westnet in collaboration with Asus activate jointly in the global market place with a tendency towards ready solutions instead of BTO (build-to-order) solutions. More specifically, the market of the high-end gaming PCs and laptops is the fastest growing one among all markets, as gamers tend to speedily and frequently upgrade the respective hardware of their computers. Gaming PCs and laptops are upgraded every 2-3 years from a gamer, in contrast to a usual computer which is upgraded every 7 years on average basis from its user.

Asus holds a market share of 25% in this market.
