This year, we see some new trends in the computer industry. The growth of notebook sales has surpassed desktop PC sales for the first time. In the notebook segment, Macbook sales were remarkable. However, we see a new trend in the notebook market. A new breed of notebooks, called netbooks, are growing in popularity.
Indeed, Windows Vista sales have suffered from the rise of netbooks. Netbooks are typically smaller than regular laptops. They are good for surfing the Web, writing email, and chat. They are cheap, usually around $300. They run a trimmed version of Windows XP or Linux.
The first netbook I spotted was Asus Eee PC. This week at Costco, I saw an 8.9" Acer Aspire One which I think was a netbook. Anyway, I think we're going to see more netbooks around as people prefer smaller, lighter gadgets and wireless connection becomes increasingly available.
