Netbook Ownership Increases 5% On-Year, Other Trends Revealed
According to a market research report by PriceGrabber.com, the percentage of online consumers who own a netbook has increased from 10% last year to 15%. The survey also revealed that 11% of consumers plan to purchase a netbook this year; over half of consumers do not consider netbooks to be a replacement for a laptop, but more of a compliment to a primary notebook or desktop PC.
One particularly interesting bit of news is that older consumers are buying netbooks despite the small screen size.
