This new year has been several times called the year for innovation. For upgrading less than perfect products and so on. Netbooks is definitely on a rise in sales and quite possibly on it’s way to killing the sales for personal desktops and laptops which is increasingly hurting manufacturers such as dell computers.
However, there are quite a few drawback’s to these small and flashy styled netbook’s that may still make people choose their typical laptop instead.
Absolutely a disruptive model. I purchased one of these devices 2 months ago as a second traveling PC, and it’s “disruptive influence” covers more than just thinking about hardware. Not much hard drive storage? I started using cloud storage for the first time. Not much memory? I dropped Internet Explorer in favor of a thinner web browser client.
For those of us like myself who have both a desktop and a laptop for many reason’s, I believe we will always’ opt for these devices rather then a tiny netbook without the storage and memory that we need. I keep so many programs on my computer’s, that is why I have two. The question is, will our business be enough to keep manufacturers open such as Dell computer’s?
What are your thought’s on these new netbook’s replacing personal computers?
