Netbook Is Always Everywhere

I believe that everybody still remember the first generation of Asus EEE PC, the pionner of world netbook trend in 2008. At the begining this device was called as mini notebook beacuse still unclasified yet between traditional notebook and mini notebook.  Later, in the mid year of 2008, flow of netbook in huge number came out from many producer and really hard to predicted. Since those time till today, if you want to looking for a ntebook you may get confuse what type or model should you take.

Netbook is a laptop with its own different market that more focused on internet access like browsing, e-mailing, chatting and other light computational activities like typing and presentation. Most of the netbook powered by Intel Atom processor and at large has 10 inches LCD screen size with 1024 x 600 resolution. The other supported input and output features like 3 units of USB port, D-sub VGA port, jack audio, card reader and webcam.

Those facilities or feature mentioned above is a standard features of all nebook, however, some producer trying attach additional extra feature to distinguish their products specification and to provocate consumer interest. A feature that today become trend and seeking by large number of people is 3G/HSDPA modem, with this modem, a user can easily get internet connection, user just need to insert SIM Card from choosen operator and get connected with internet, whenever and wherever. Next, for oparational system, most netbook producer used Windows XP Home Edition in their netbook but some other put Linux as operational system perhaps to hold down the price of netbook.

Among those specification and features offered, one thing most interesting is the popularity of netbook that seems unbelieveable and always get increase in consumer demand from year to year and the producer seems like they are fitgting on the race ground, each of them are trying to offer  their best products specification and exellency to get huge number of consumer needs. This competition has brought effect to the cost or price of netbook nowdays, price of a netbook may equal with price of a smart phone and spread in world in large number. IDC, a company which observing the flow of computer market has predicted that the category of netbook will get increase from 500.000 since 2007 to 900.00 in 2012 later. Intel also suggested that in 2011 there are will be 40 million of netbook units produce each year. These issues have made Intel Company to rethinking and have to decrease price of computer chip that can be use in netbook and nettop. With new Intel Atom chip, Intel will be able to fight with a company from Taiwan, as the C7 Chip maker that used in Via netbook. Therefore, HP,Dell and other PC maker already observeed and they know what types of computer consumer like most.

Anyway, between number and price of netbook, these optional offers makes consumer to think smart on how to chose which is good netbook. Absosultely, every product must offer has their excellency, now deped on user. A best netbook does not solely means a netbook which has high price or a netbook which has complexity of feature. On the other word, how user can maximize the netbook to support computational need. A ntebook user must inventing his/her computational needs, what is the main reason for having a netbook, what would she/he done with netbook, remember that netbook not only offers computational needs but also fashion and life style. After you decided what would you do with your netbook, you will easly to find specification of a netbook base on your needs. This is one best simple way to chose a best netbook among various types, specification, brands and price offers in the market.

Introduce of a Fast-growing Mini-notebooks : Netbook

What is a Netbook computer?

A Netbook is a new type of laptop computer, defined by size, price, horsepower, and operating system. They are small, cheap, under-powered, and run either an old or unfamiliar operating system.

Netbooks run either Windows XP Home edition or Linux (not only is Linux unfamiliar to many, but the versions of Linux on Netbooks are not the mainstream popular distributions). They do not run XP Professional, Vista, or OS X. Microsoft arbitrarily restricts Netbooks from running the Professional Edition of Windows XP. Likewise, Apple arbitrarily restricts OS X to Apple hardware and it has never played in the low-end realm that Netbooks occupy.* Vista requires too much horsepower to run well on a Netbook. HP has been the only company to offer Vista on a Netbook. The price, however, was so high that it’s debatable whether such a machine qualifies as a Netbook.

The market for netbooks — small notebook PCs with even tinier prices — exploded in the third quarter of this year, according to market researcher DisplaySearch LLC, as vendors aimed their wares at students during the back-to-school season.

The global market for netbooks, also known as mini-notebooks, was 5.61 million in the third quarter, up 160% from the second quarter, according to a statement today from DisplaySearch, an Austin-based research firm.

Acer Inc. displaced Asustek Computer Inc. (Asus) as the netbook market leader for the first time during the quarter, taking 38.3% of the market, compared to 30.3% for Asus.

Netbook global sales in the third quarter of 2008 hit 5.61 million units, an increase of 160% from the second quarter. Acer was at the top of the list with a 38.3% market share of all those units. With a 2008 sales level of 14 million units (over 2007’s one million sold), the market for netbooks is still relatively small, but the growth is explosive. The question is this: how much margin are manufacturers gaining on these small-priced PCs? In the latest quarter, HP was in third place and Dell was in fifth place, but Acer and Asus are completely stealing the show. If the netbook trend follows in 2009, Acer — the king of low retailer PC prices — should stay on top until this fad is over.
