Asus, a notch down to Acer, to step up in 2009

A post written by Andrew | No Comments »

This week, Acer was announced the leading netbook in 3Q08 sales, leaving the whole big family of Eee PCs behind by approximately 8% on market shares. This was rather a milestone for Acer not just because they got to the top, but getting to the top with a single model released, in 4 different colors. Way to go, Acer.

Meanwhile, to gain back what they just lost, Asustek targets 44 percent unit sales in 2009 for their netbooks. This I learned from Liliputing.

Overall, netbook shipments surge over 160% in 3Q08. Shall we expect higher numbers in 2009?
