Asus and Acer abandon the Netbook market

After the abandonment of all other netbook manufacturers, including Lenovo and Dell, also the brand that represented the top list of these particular models throws in the towel. We are talking about Acer and Asus, whose brands are well readable on tens of millions of netbooks worldwide.

Some analysts are valid reasons for the abandonment of this market sector. Let’s see some. First of all, we can say that in recent times, netbooks have played to make ” big “, from a minimal model of the beginnings of something that looked more and more like a low-end notebook. In turn, the first notebook price cuts have been gradually more and more consistent, so go and overlap with those of netbooks in well-opener.

When in doubt, many customers have opted for the budget-minded notebook first price rather than a good netbook. Difficult since they are wrong, because the notebooks are born with more powerful processors, amounts of RAM double (if not more) and features higher on average in all areas, including autonomy. At the expense of portability, of course, but here comes more enemies for netbooks or tablets.

Even with prices from the double-up, tablet PCs have enticed many customers looking for an alternative to its tasty main machine, dropping the interest remained for netbooks, which have at the same time lost their extreme cheapness much appreciated.

In our opinion, most netbooks that have died were killed by the producers themselves. Very low prices imply very often laughable margins, with some growth sectors that can guarantee profits well above instead. The proof is that in netbooks sold today there are millions of pieces, that sottointende interest alive for many groups of users.

Still, we will see them again. Despite the strong performance limits (but certainly not born for rendering …), netbooks constituted the real PC for everyone, with keyboard, wireless and everything you need for an ordinary use of the PC in the way in which at least 90% of the world population uses it. A Death Foretold, of course, but above all you want.
