So, according to experts, netbooks’ 15 minutes of fame are up. Sales are down while other computer hardware’s segments are up. That what this article on CBC says. Check it out: End of the netbook?
It goes without saying that as an editor of a netbook related blog, readers will be interested for my take on such a report.
The article says that conventional laptops are killing netbooks. But these conventional laptops are as small, as light, as cheap BUT definitely more powerful than netbooks.
I have said times and times again that people buy netbooks because they are small, light and inexpensive versions of laptops. They don’t really care about the category name but are more interested in the benefits and features of the machine over the category name.
It’s only us tech pundits who notice that people are shopping for and buying ultra-light, small notebooks over netbooks. Consumers are just getting a light , small and inexpensive computer that also happen to be powerful. It happens to be called a (really small) laptop.
Get my logic?
What’s your take?
