It may sound crazy, but social and economic factors have led to a shortage of labor for LCD manufacturers, which in turn means production isn’t meeting targets and us consumers have to wait longer.
A few factors are contributing to the shortage of laborers in factories, including higher cost of living in the cities, increased labor demand in rural areas and a general dislike of factory work among this generation of young workers. This fundamental shift in China’s labor force looks to present a longer term challenge for companies that rely on production workers, which of course effects nearly every piece of electronics on the market today.
I’ve not see any laptop shipment delays due to LCD availability just yet, but if demand increases it may very well become apparent.

If you haven’t heard of delays due to shortages, you should take a look at this thread (http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=453245) on Notebook Review. Many W510 customers have been seeing long delays and cancellations on orders for laptops with Full HD (FHD) displays.
Really? Young people in China don’t like working 12 hour shifts on an assembly line to produce notebooks for westerners?
I know, shocking isn’t it?
