A lot of netbook manufactures are coming up with all-in-ones that are based on Atom-platform. ViewSonic too joins this market by unveiling their own all-in-one PC, the VPC100.
Features:
- 18.5-inch screen
- 1366 x 768 pixel display
- N270 Atom processor
- 1GB RAM
- 160GB HDD
- 4 USB ports

ASUS EEE PC are still the best selling netbooks in Japan with having nearly 27% of the total market share of netbooks. Also, EEE 1000H is the best selling netbook in Japan followed by Lenovo Ideapad S10 and Acer Aspire One.
Commentary: The reason behind the EEE 1000H’s success is simple. With newer EEE PCs rolling out in the market, the price of the 1000H has fallen down considerably. The full-featured netbook along with an irresistible price tag have together resulted in great sales.
