Sascha Pallenberg of Netbook News managed to get his hands on the aluminum ASUS Eee PC 1080P while at the CeBIT conference and called it “by far the most solid Eee PC I’ve ever, ever, ever had in my hands and the best keyboard I ever had on an Eee PC.” He goes on to say that both the silver and black versions “are going to be the next best sellers on the netbook market, especially with the 3G version and some nine hours of battery life.” I’d say that the 1024

The Alienware M11x netbook gets priced, dated and detailed
The Alienware M11x is an odd duck. The company calls it a netbook, but it’s packing a Core 2 Duo CPU and 1GB NVIDIA GT 335M GPU. Even the 720p-capable 11.6-inch screen doesn’t exactly screen netbook.

Woot! Refurbished Gateway LT3103 netbook with six-cell battery for $270
Oh Gateway LT3103, you bucked the netbook trend all the way into our hearts with the inclusion of the AMD Athlon 64 L110 CPU and ATI Radeon graphics. Now you are being refurbished and sold for just $270 with a six-cell battery and 2GB of RAM. Between you, me, and the lamp post, the included Vista Home Basic operating system might be due for a once-over if you catch my drift, but everything else looks pretty solid: 250GB hard drive, 11.6-inch screen with 1366
In 2009, Netbook Shipments Grew 103%, Revenues Up 72% Year Over Year
Industry research and analysis firm DisplaySearch estimates notebook PC revenues to top $109 billion in 2009, down almost 7% year over year.
The company’s most recent Quarterly Notebook PC Shipment and Forecast Report also shows a huge increase in the size of the netbook market, having grown its revenue share of the overall portable computer market to 11.7% in the third quarter of 2009.
This has increased the overall size of the portable PC market considerably, according to DisplaySearch, but not nearly enough to offset declines in revenue.
Revenues in every notebook PC category were down year over year, and only the portable category (displays from 13” to 16.4”) posted Q/Q growth.
DisplaySearch expects notebook PC shipment volumes to increase 5% year over year in 2009. Netbooks and portable notebook PC (13″-16.4”) ASPs are however expected to be down more than 15% Y/Y in 2009 and again next year. These two market segments account for more than 85% of the total notebook market.
DisplaySearch expects the notebook PC market to grow by 16% in 2010, with higher than average growth for mini-notes and ultra-portable notebook PCs.
