Netbooks popularity is expected to continue in this year 2010 also

Small and Low cost "netbooks" Some of the most popular computers of the recession, wooing consumers with its portability and that prices were often below $ 400. Now with the economy improving, consumers will be asked to open wallets for new styles of computers, including some costing a little more.

Among the new offerings are being disclosed this week at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: lightweight, medium-sized laptop in question as a step above netbooks in price and performance. There will also be at least one "smartbook" - on a tiny computer that together elements of netbooks and so-called smart phones.

That is not to say the netbook reached the end of a line. Audience PC including Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and Toshiba are expected to show out a new netbook offerings with features like touch screen and the latest Intel Atom processors, which give better performance on smashing the previous fueled initial period netbooks.

But the netbook has the demand on the industry price: narrow profit margins for chipmaker Intel Body. and computer manufacturers.

For many PC makers, is the rise of netbooks in question fall in revenue and profit from computer divisions. Hewlett-Packard Co., the world's largest computer maker, gets the third part of the income from a business PC, but just 15 per cent of the company's operating profit, the numbers are shrinking thanks to netbook sales and price reductions on the other machines.

And how successful netbooks that appetite for true mobile computers, consumers will likely find many more power, more portability - or both.

Never from Taiwan-based AsusTek Computer Inc. acquired the ongoing craze netbook with 7-inch EEE PC in late 2007, consumers are gravitating to the devices. According to data from research company Gartner Inc., netbooks made up about 10 per cent of all PC shipments in 2009, up from 4 per cent in the previous year.

The devices were small screen - generally 7-11 inches, compared with around 14-17 on medium-medium-inch laptop - and often less-than-normal keyboard. Jobseekers keep PC prices down by avoiding extras, such as driving DVD and Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

Netbooks involved a companion devices that could slip in a purse or backpack for on-the-go Web surfing, although many consumers it was only on the computer they bought in 2009.

But only those people who buy netbooks as secondary computers, and people buy them as a computer but will end trading up to more powerful machines, said John Jacobs, the analyst at market research company DisplaySearch.

Therefore, the growth in sales is likely to slow netbook coming years. While netbook shipments to retailers more than doubled in 2009 to 33.3 million, compared with the previous year, shipments should rise but 19 per cent to 39.7 million this year, according to DisplaySearch.

Besides netbooks, consumers can expect to see in stores some proper devices above and below the small laptops in the price, size and serve as computer companies try to expand on the market. Much of this exposure on even CES, as Google Inc. announced its own smart phone is widely expected, the Nexus One.

Lenovo Group Ltd. is banking on so-called "smartbooks," is meant to combine the continuous Internet connectivity and long battery life with a smart phone with a laptop on a classic shape.

The company announced the first smartbook, the Skylight.
