Netbook Sales

Netbooks have begun to take market share away from laptops and sales are expected to increase up to 50 million by the year 2012.
Netbooks were thought to be returned more frequently than ordinary laptops according to MSI's director of US Sales, Andy Tung who alleged that Linux-based netbooks are returned four times as often as Windows-based ones, suggesting the excess over laptops is attributable to the purchasers' unfamiliarity with Linux or lack of software support. However, this only reflects MSI's data because ASUS's CEO Jerry Chen believes the Linux and Windows versions have similar return rates while ASUS netbooks returns are low.
Overall, the Linux market share on netbooks has increased over notebooks, especially in Europe where the demand is higher for Linux.
