| It will 1 million next 3 months
Asus will sell 1 million of the Eee over the next 3 months (1Q 2008).
So why wonder if there is a market for it?
Low-performance PCs from little-known brands will take half the mareket in the US in 2010.
The S-M-E computer (small, cheap, easy) is an idea whose time has come. Small, cheap, and easy will all work together in future computers. Small is the key. In volume production, smaller is cheaper. Cheaper computers are bound to be easier to use as they include a wider class of users. Also, smaller computers do not support many advanced applications.
So small is the key, and the Eee is just the beginning. Expect to see Curtis, Coby, Starburst, America, etc., brands selling for less than $100 at Wal-Mart and Walgreen's. |
