Netbook Sales Jump 103% in 2009, Samsung to Surpass Asus in Netbook Sales
Netbooks aren’t really much older than 2007, and they really gained a foothold in 2008. Although some dismiss netbooks as just a fad, the least data from a company called DisplaySearch suggests otherwise. Netbook shipments are still growing, and according to their most recent report, netbook shipments are up 103% from last year. Whats more, the company projects that even more netbooks will be sold in 2010 than in 2009, but the year over year growth will slow down a bit. Translation – sales will grow, but not as quickly as they did from 2008-9.
At the same time, DigiTimes reports that Samsung is poised to ship more units than the current leader Asus. We’re not suprised – Samsung has a killer line-up right now, with the budget N130 and N140netbooks up to the Ion-packing N510.
