GALORE of ASUS CULV-based notebooks coming at the end of the year
‘Asus will ship between 11 and 13 million notebooks in 2009 and up to one million of them will be CULV-based ultraportables’, says CEO Jerry Shen
Total notebooks sales by ASUS are expected to jump 25 percent every year, though its market share has decreased. ASUS is aiming to sell a million ultra portables in just three and a half months. So what Asus wants is that till the end of the year, ultraportables should make up 25 to 30 percent of total Asus notebook shipments.
Due to tough competition and low margins, vendors don’t make much money on netbooks anyway. It is observed that PC makers make as much money on a single notebook as they do on six netbooks! Perhaps that is the reason more and more netbook vendors are now concentrating on ultra portables as they yield higher profit margins
