This morning the market research company released a report on how the netbook (or mini-note as they call it) market grew more than 160 percent in the third quarter of 2008. With all the major players entering the market in the past months, the small computers are the “bright spot” of the computer industry, the report states.
The jaw dropping news: ASUS lost significant share to Acer, as Acer captured more than 35 percent of the market with its Aspire One. Despite its releasing what seems like hoards of netbooks (most recently the Eee PC 1002HA), ASUS dropped below Acer. You can check out the full ranking of netbook manufacturers below:
