Netbooks, netbooks everywhere, and not an end in sight.
From Samsung, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, MSI and others, the category continues to bloom this year, projected to grow to more than 20 million units by the end of 2009. With the price of Intel Atom chips falling as the netbook market expands and volume ramps up, the pressure is on companies like Apple and Sony: neither is yet a player in this high-stakes game.
Asus has long been involved, though, and among the more charming of netbook newcomers — along with Dell’s buck-busting $299 Mini 10v, just unwrapped — is the Asus Eee 1008HA, a k a the Seashell. Superlight at less than three pounds, the Eee looks to be handsomely tapered, with a 10-inch LED-backlit LCD and a prospective price of $429. Methinks that price could drop in view of Dell setting a strong $299 price point.
