ACER TAKES TOP NETBOOK SALES SPOT

Who would have thought the day would come when the company who introduced the biggest sensation in computers for this year would drop to second place. Well I did (not exactly) but I'm not surprised to hear that Acer has sold over 300k more systems than its rival Asus.

In the third quarter of 2008 Acer pushed a whopping 2.15 million units while ASUS during the same time frame did 1.7 million units. And probably most notably is the fact that Acer continues to drop the prices on its systems with such deals as $299 on an XP equipped system at Best Buy who wouldn't want to Aspire to the One? Yeah I know the jokes corney but you get the point.?

Good luck ASUS on beating the crap out of Acer this quarter.

ASUS EXCITED ABOUT FIRST QUARTER SALES

We all knew that the new Asus Eee PC’s would be popular – but we never imagined that they would sell almost 350,000 laptops in its first quarter. Asus had only built 300,000 computers and was equally surprised and overjoyed at their success.
