Netbook shipments jumped 79% in 2009

Last year a bunch of research firms put out studies showing that netbook shipments in 2008 were up over 2007 shipments by astronomical figures. That’s hardly surprising since the Eee PC 701 was pretty much the only netbook on the market in 2007, and it didn’t hit the streets until November of that year. But while 2008 was a big…

Will netbooks die off as the economy recovers?

Netbooks have been one of the only areas of the PC industry to see increased sales over the last year or so. That has a lot to do with their low cost. You may not have noticed, but there’s a global recession going on, and if you’re worried about losing your job, watching your stock portfolio plummet, or tightening your…

Research firm Gartner has put out a report claiming that this will be the “year of the mini-notebook” in the Asia Pacific region, with netbook shipments expected to grow by 82 percent from last year.

Industry predictions: Netbook shipments to quadruple, could outsell noteboks

There’s no doubt that netbooks represent the fastest growing segment of the PC industry today. And I expect them to become even bigger over the next few years. 12 months ago, almost nobody knew what a netbook was, but today you can find them in a number of retail stores, order them from most computer makers, and even get them…
