Netbooks? Nah... smartbooks... yeah!
Asus' CEO Jerry Shan has announced that there will be an Asus smartbook shipping in early 2010. This is a complete contradiction to a few months ago when he said "I still don't see a clear market for smartbooks" but I guess times have changed, and smartbooks could be the new netbooks. Prices seem to be around £110 to £150 for these. The current day netbook normally follows the pattern of a 10" screen, 1GB RAM and 1.66Ghz processor. Asus have said they will be showing them off at CeBIT and Computex next year, so 2010 Christmas might just be flooded with smartbooks. For me it is no surprise Asus are the first to jump on board the smartbook market, they started netbooks with the Eee Pc, and the rest is history. Will the same fate be there for smartbooks? I think so, I love the idea of them. What do you think? Comment below.
