The average selling price of Chongqing-made notebooks has reached 2700 yuan abroad ($ 435), an increase of 260 yuan on year-on-year basis.

Guo Jian also said 65 laptop supporting enterprises settled down in Chongqing last year, which business covered chip packaging, display modules, batteries, cases, radiators and other core components. Currently, Chongqing's laptop supporting enterprises reached 875.
