Charles Arthur, The Guardian:
Still, there’s an eWeek article from July in which ABI says that
“consumer interest in netbooks shows no sign of waning, and the
attraction remains the same: value rather than raw performance.”
Actually, the number sold in 2013 will be very much closer to zero
than to 139m. The Taiwanese tech site Digitimes points out that
Asus, which kicked off the modern netbook category with its Eee PC
in 2007, has announced that it won’t make its Eee PC product after
today, and that Acer doesn’t plan to make any more; which means
that “the netbook market will officially end after the two vendors
finish digesting their remaining inventories.”
That stinks. Apple still hasn’t gotten around to making one.
