Asus EeePC and Netbook
A long time ago "hundred Netbook "concept did not achieve market acceptance, so many manufacturers do not set foot in this area. ASUS Netbook as a latecomer at computer field,
on the contrary, for avoiding the provision of a positive market,then open another new market, and continued the concept of the prototype and launched low-cost small of the EeePC, the move just to meet a part of consumer demand, and it made an inprovement in the hardware level which also enlarge extended the application of computer space, also causing many consumers as "something new" concerns.
Let's trace back the reason that Tablets are looking promising. It all begins in last year, 2010, iPad has sold 15 million units for 9 months, Apple has made 9 billion dollar more. When you look at these numbers, who would deny that it's not promising? Therefore, many reports had released saying it's going to be a blast next year, but watch carefully, all these reports are actually based on iPad market, which means this might be an illusion that it looks so appealing but it's all based on iPad, so the future of tablets market is also based on iPad(the product itself) and its strategy.
Speaking of EeePC hardware upgrade comes as the abandoned super-cheap processor and chipset architecture, though still not out of shape and small size, low-cost laptop concept, but it has already adopted the entry-level maturity Processors and the corresponding chipset on the market , and followed the appearance of conventional notebooks. In addition, it uses a series of such solid-state hard drive and operating system pre-installed new initiatives, the targeted market is no longer confined to the field of education. And the earlier "hundred Netbook "is just put in the field of education is not for the retail market sales strategy for the comparison, EeePC was processing a comprehensive business promotion, and also for female consumers and the fashion crowd made a publicity.
But EeePC is not been explored by ASUS which is a low-cost Asus netbook through the cooperation of ASUS and Intel, used the Intel $ 200 students netbook(Classmate PC) architecture, with proven hardware. It also draws lessons from the Classmate PC market, and expand the product adaptability to the market demand. EeePC in product design concept has advanced, and the functionality of the product on a loss, so early in the listed companies do not get more attention, but this situation because the market was positive and the good sales performance reflects the Changed. Asus EeePC has also become the benchmark for low-cost small-size notebooks, many manufacturers have to follow up this product, launching their own low-cost small-size Netbook computers.
