According to ABI Research, there will nearly 35 million netbooks shipped by manufacturers in this year.
To quote the analyst firm,
“74% of 2008 netbook shipments bore the brands of just three vendors: Acer, ASUS, and Samsung,” says senior analyst Jeff Orr. “However, the rapid growth of netbooks as a second computer in developed markets will be eclipsed in coming years by vendors targeting developing nations and first Internet PCs at home.”
What about things smaller than netbooks? To continue quoting,
Laptop vendors may soon “reinvent the UMPC,” bringing down the low-end laptop price to $500 through ultra-low voltage machines. “That could affect some netbook sales in developed markets, especially the business users," said Orr.
No matter how you slice it, netbooks are big, and getting bigger. |
