In the year 2008, when the netbooks were still considered as niche devices, the netbook vendors were able to sell just 7.3 million units whereas the notebook shipments were still high at 51.4 million.This year, things are changing at a faster pace as netbook shipments are expected to be around 13.3 million units which is nearly 100% growth when compared to previous year. Same is the case in US and Japan, where the netbook shipments increased by 136.9% and 29.1% respectively.Clearly, netbooks are being treated as secondary laptops and in some cases as primary laptops by consumers.

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. --- Also read: Lenovo Ideapad S10 review]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/eee-pcs-are-still-the-best-selling-netbooks-at-least-in-japan/feed/ 0
