NetbookTech

First off, Happy New Year to all of you. I sincerely hope all of our readers had a wonderful holiday season. Ours was fairly uneventful (which is of course, a good thing).  In any case, let’s start the new year off by looking at how netbooks fared in Japan in 2008. The folks at Akihabara News were kind enough to republish a list of the top 10 netbooks in terms of sales volume for 2008 (originally compiled by the folks at BNC Japan). Without further ado, here’s the list:

• ASUS Eee PC – 4GB SSD model had 20.9 percent
• Acer Aspire One – 120GB model had 19.5 percent
• ASUS Eee PC 901-X – 12GB SSD model had 16.8 percent
• Acer Aspire One – 160GB model had 5.1 percent
• ASUS Eee PC 1000H – 160GB model had 4.7 percent
• Konjinsa SA5KX08AL – 80GB model had 2.6 percent
• ASUS Eee PC S101-X – 16GB SSD model had 1.9 percent
• Onkyo C101-4 – 120GB model had 1.8 percent
• ASUS Eee PC 701-SD-007X – 8GB SSD model had 1.8 percent
• HP FR082PA – 160GB HDD model had 1.6 percent

Congrats to all.
